A 32-year-old man was rushed to the hospital Friday afternoon after police say they found him in a stalled car on Interstate 5 in Seattle with a hypodermic needle stuck in his arm.

Witnesses called 911 shortly before 3 p.m. to report a stopped vehicle in the far left lane of southbound I-5 near 50th Avenue Northeast, reports indicate.

State troopers responded to find an unconscious driver with a needle protruding from his arm. They broke a car window to pull him out of the vehicle. Seattle Fire Department medics arrived and rushed the man, who had a weak pulse, to a nearby hospital.

A State Patrol sergeant believed the man was injecting heroin in his car.

The man will be investigated for DUI.
