AUBURN, Wash. -- One person was seriously injured when a crash sent a car into a nearby creek late Friday afternoon.

The incident occurred at Peasley Canyon Road and Peasley Canyon Way South at approximately 5:15 p.m. Federal Way police said three cars collided at the intersection, and the impact sent a Volkswagen into the creek.

One person was rescued from the car and taken to Harborview Medical Center with serious injuries. The person was conscious and alert.

There were no reports of other injuries.

The road leading up to the creek had just opened earlier this afternoon following road work, officials said.

The cause of the incident has not been determined, and the investigation is ongoing.

If you were one of the thousands without power for nearly a week, you could get a break on next month's bill.

Puget Sound Energy says it plans to give a $50 credit to customers who lost power for five or more days during last week's winter storm.

"The prolonged power outages from the storms created a real hardship for many of our customers," said Sue McLain, PSE senior vice president of Delivery Operations. "The bill credit won't take back the dark evenings and chill in the bones that many families experienced. Rather, it is a gesture of our appreciation for their understanding and patience."

According to PSE, this is the first time, since passing the 120-consecutive-hour power outage credit in 2008, the utility has had to activate it.

PSE says the credit will automatically be provided to all customers without power for five days or longer.

The credit should show up on your Feb. 15th bill.

If it doesn't - you should notify PSE at: 888-225-5773.
