Federal Way Firefighter Critically Injured While Responding To Crash | Federal Way Car Accident Attorney


Posted on Nov 26, 2011

Federal Way authorities believe that icy roads were to blame for an early-morning car accident that left an emergency responder with critical injuries.

According to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, three firefighters from South King Fire & Rescue responded to a rollover accident on Interstate 5 near the 320th Street exit early on Sunday morning when one of the men was struck by a passing vehicle while standing on the shoulder. The man, 52-year-old Wynn R. Loiland of Gig Harbor, was rushed to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle suffering from a traumatic brain injury, a punctured lung, and broken bones.

The driver of the car that struck the firefighter was a 26-year-old Burien man who apparently slid on icy roads as he approached the accident scene. Police say that neither drugs or alcohol was a factor in the crash, which took place just after five in the morning. It is unclear what happened to those involved in the initial Federal Way rollover accident that originally called rescue workers to the scene. They were not present at the crash scene when firefighters arrived.

Loiland, who has been with the fire department for three decades, is in critical but stable condition. His wife and two sons are at his side.
