The Washington State Patrol reports that a medical emergency caused a crash in Olympia Sunday morning.

About 8:50 a.m., a 74-year-old Oakville man was headed north on U.S. Highway 101 near Black Lake Boulevard.

Troopers say he suffered a medical emergency, then drove off the road to the right, bounced off a guardrail, crossed back across all northbound lanes, crashed into a cable barrier and then came to a stop on the left shoulder.

The man was taken to Providence St. Peter Hospital in Olympia, according to State Patrol.

Having stepped out as CEO in 2014, Helgason still sits on the board of the now-listed company he co-founded in Copenhagen in 2004; but most of his time is dedicated to Transition Ventures, an early stage venture capital firm he launched in 2021 to focus on the climate.
