Firefighters from the Valley Regional Fire Authority got the 911 call at 11:04 a.m., quickly extricated the injured driver and worked with paramedics to stabilize him for helicopter transport to Harborview Medical Center.

The driver of the other vehicle was not seriously hurt and stayed at the scene with Auburn Police. The road remained closed for several hours while investigators finished their work.

Police did not release the names of either driver.
