Eric Medalle was a father of two little girls, taking one of them out for a Sunday drive. But around 1:30 Sunday afternoon, as the two were either driving down or sitting parked on Seward Park Road near the Lost Lake Trail, a massive Douglas fir came crashing down on their SUV.
On Monday the King County Medical Examiner’s office identified Medalle, 42, as the man who died in Sunday windstorm. A 36-year-old woman, who wants to remain anonymous, pulled the toddler from the BMW X3’s back seat. The girl went to Harborview Medical Center with only minor injuries.
