Quick Response to Bellevue Clinic Crash: Junk B Gone Same Day Cleanup

Cleanup of Overlake clinic in Bellevue after car crash, February 6, 2024

Same-Day Emergency Cleanup After a Car Crashed Into a Bellevue Medical Clinic

Early on a Tuesday morning, a car plowed into a medical building near Lake Hills Village in Bellevue, rupturing a natural gas line and forcing more than 100 residents to evacuate their homes. The clinic was wrecked — windows blown out, siding crumpled, debris everywhere.

We got the call and headed straight to the scene.


What We Found

When we arrived, the site was a mess. Busted windows, twisted siding, tree branches, metal fragments, and car parts scattered across the property. A ruptured natural gas main added urgency to the situation — the area needed to be cleared fast so repair crews could get to the gas line safely.

The Cleanup

Our crew spent the morning sorting through wreckage — clearing trees, metal, broken glass, and car parts from the property. The biggest challenge was the ruptured gas main itself. We used our truck’s winch to lift the heavy gas pipe out of the debris field and load it into the truck bed.

Boarding Up the Building

Once the debris was cleared, the exposed clinic still needed to be secured. Our partners at Pacific Facilities boarded up the broken windows and repaired the damaged siding. The goal was to button up the building tight — keeping the weather out and the clinic secure enough to keep serving patients while permanent repairs were planned.

The Result

By the end of the day, the wreckage was gone, the building was secured, and utility repair crews had clear access to the gas line. Residents were able to return to their homes, and the clinic had a path to reopening.
