Seattle, WA (August 6, 2025) – A cyclist was injured Sunday following a traffic collision at the intersection of SW Holden St and Deindge Way SW in West Seattle. Emergency responders were dispatched to the scene after receiving reports of a bicycle-involved crash during the afternoon hours.
Medics treated the injured cyclist at the scene before transporting them to a nearby hospital for further evaluation. The extent of the injuries has not been publicly confirmed, but responders indicated the cyclist required additional care. No other injuries were reported, and the driver involved remained at the scene and cooperated with authorities.
The intersection of SW Holden St and Deindge Way SW lies within a residential zone that also serves as a commuter cut-through. Although it features marked crossways and signage, the area has limited visibility in certain spots and is known for vehicle speed concerns, especially during off-peak hours.
Seattle Police are currently investigating the crash. Early reports have not identified fault, and it is unclear whether speed, right-of-way violations, or visibility issues played a role.
We send our thoughts to the injured cyclist and hope for a smooth and complete recovery.
Bicycle Accidents in Washington
Cycling in urban areas like Seattle offers convenience and environmental benefits—but it also comes with real risks, especially when sharing roads with motor vehicles. Intersections such as SW Holden St and Deindge Way SW are particularly hazardous due to vehicle turning movements and limited driver awareness of cyclists.
Bicycle collisions in Washington frequently result in serious injuries, including broken bones, head trauma, and internal injuries—even when the rider wears a helmet and follows all traffic laws. In many of these cases, drivers either fail to yield or don’t see cyclists until it’s too late to avoid impact.
Seattle has made substantial efforts to promote bicycle safety through designated bike lanes, improved signage, and public awareness campaigns. However, Sunday’s crash is a reminder that infrastructure alone is not enough—both drivers and cyclists must stay alert and adhere to the rules of the road.
Victims of bicycle crashes often face an uphill battle in recovery. In addition to physical rehabilitation, they may struggle with transportation disruptions, loss of income, and insurance complications. Accessing support quickly is crucial to protecting their rights and well-being.
