A 40-year-old woman riding a bicycle was critically injured on Sunday, October 25, 2026, after colliding with a vehicle near Lake City Way Northeast and Northeast Northgate Way in Seattle’s Lake City neighborhood. Fire personnel treated her at the scene around 4:56 p.m., and she was taken to Harborview Medical Center in critical condition. Authorities have not publicly released her name. How the collision happened has not been established.
Hoodline reported that the crash occurred on Lake City Way NE, also known as State Route 522, a corridor it describes as a crash hotspot. According to Hoodline, a city action-plan document for the route reported 21 deaths and more than 400 injuries over the period it examined, including 14 cyclists, and named failure to yield among the top contributing factors. KING 5, which first reported the crash, said it was working to learn more. Details remain limited and may change as the investigation continues.
