The Puget Sound region made it through two winter storms that rolled into the Pacific Northwest relatively unscathed.
The third one? Not so much.
A band of snow spread across the Puget Sound region Saturday evening, dropping anywhere from 2-6 inches across the region, making it the largest snow event to hit the Seattle area since the big snow and ice storm of January 2012.
Police say a box truck that started rolling downhill as its driver was loading it smacked into five parked cars in a Seattle neighborhood.
The truck driver was injured as he jumped from the back of the truck. A Seattle Fire Dept. spokesperson says he was taken to a hospital with an ankle injury.
No one else was hurt Monday.

Witnesses say it appears the truck’s brakes failed.
