• I-5 fall: Emergency crews treated a man who jumped or fell onto the Olive Way exit from I-5 Saturday morning. Seattle Fire reported responding to the incident along northbound freeway lanes just before 9 AM. A spokesperson says a 56-year-old male survived the fall and was in stable condition for transport to Harborview for further care. The I-5 overpasses below Capitol Hill are regularly the scenes for mental crisis calls and medical incidents including accidental falls from people trying to cross lanes of traffic or walk along narrow walls to access areas used for camping. Earlier this month, Seattle Fire responded to a fall onto northbound I-5 below Pike where it treated a 31-year-old man who suffered serious injuries in the incident. The man was taken to Harborview in critical condition in what was reported a mental health crisis call. We do not have an update on that incident.

• Cold weather deaths: The January cold snap that saw the lowest temperatures on Capitol Hill in 10 years was deadly. At least five people died from hypothermia in Seattle during the freezing January weekend, KUOW reports. They include this 63-year-old who died in a vehicle outside the Ballard Library. Another death was reported below I-5 on First Hill’s Seneca street where the King County Medical Examiner says Adam Elknation died outdoors of hypothermia and environmental exposure. Elknation was 37. The deaths occurred even as the city’s homelessness and shelter resources including emergency locations were mobilized to help give people warm places to stay. The health department says there were 31 emergency medical responses to cold-related incidents across the county on the January 12th weekend.
• 14-year-old busted for car theft: SPD says it arrested a teen after tracking a stolen vehicle to Capitol Hill Sunday night:
  Shortly before 5:00 p.m., officers were notified that a stolen vehicle was tracking near the intersection of 15th Avenue South and South Lander Street. While officers were responding, dispatch advised there was a disturbance involving the vehicle, friends of the owner and multiple juvenile suspects. When officers arrived, they contacted the vehicle owner’s husband who found his wife’s stolen car and confronted the occupants. The husband told officers the driver attempted to flee the scene and crashed into another vehicle. After the crash, the husband fought with a passenger of the stolen vehicle. During the altercation, the driver of the stolen vehicle was able to drive away. Officers continued to track the stolen vehicle to a parking lot in the 300 block of East Olive Place.
  SPD says it caught up with the teen on a King County Metro bus. The juvenile was arrested for possession of a stolen motor vehicle and transported to 12th Ave’s Judge Patricia H. Clark Children and Family Justice Center.
