Near SNOQUALMIE PASS, Wash. —
A spectacular crash sent a man and his wife to the hospital after their RV left Interstate 90 and flew more than 100 feet through the air Sunday.
Authorities said the couple was heading eastbound near the Snoqualmie Pass summit when the RV appeared to launch off a roadside dirt embankment.
Fire officials said the RV crash landed on its wheels on a road running underneath I-90, then bounced up an embankment before coming to a stop.

Rescuers said though the RV was crushed, the man and woman inside were conscious and breathing and still belted in their seats after the crash.
Firefighters said it took 25 minutes to cut the couple out of the cab. The victims were transported to Harborview Medical Center with pelvic injuries that were non-life threatening.
We were surprised that they were in as good as shape as they were; thats yet to be determined since I havent gotten a report back from the hospital; but it appears they are going to make it, said Snoqualmie Pass Fire Chief Matt Cowan.
The couple, an 82-year-old man who was driving, and his 79-year-old wife, is from McCall, Idaho.
