Early morning accident on Market St.

A car slammed into a utility pole on Market St. near 3rd Ave. just after 3 a..m. overnight, and the driver was trapped inside the vehicle.

Firefighters sawed off the top of the car to extract the 27-year-old man, who was taken to Harborview Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries. My Ballard reader James shot these photos of the aftermath just before 6 a.m.
