A military Humvee pulling a trailer veered off Interstate 90 in Bellevue, Washington on Saturday, plunging over a retaining wall and landing on a street underneath, as reported by the Washington State Patrol.
The accident occurred on eastbound I-90 close to the Eastgate neighborhood. The vehicle drifted to the right for reasons that are currently unknown, leading to its exit from the freeway. After traversing a grassy shoulder, it fell about 30 feet onto Southeast 38th St., according to Trooper Rick Johnson who spoke to Fox News Digital.
Trooper Johnson explained, “The Humvee Tonic Trailer was heading eastbound on Interstate 90 and veered off course to the right for some unknown reason. We are not certain about the cause, but it deviated from the freeway, crossed a small grassy area, and eventually went over a wall, landing on a street below.”

“The sergeant at the scene told me that they were minor injuries, but … the fire department really suggests you go get checked out,” Johnson explained.
The military vehicle was part of a convoy believed to be en route to the Yakima Training Center in central Washington, a common destination via I-90. Johnson noted the Humvee was “pretty damaged.”
Photos shared by Johnson on X showed the aftermath of the crash and the steep drop from the freeway to the street below. He said there was no video footage available at this time, and no dashcam clips had been submitted to the agency.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
