Update: Crash on Delridge ramp from West Seattle Bridge

12:47 PM: Drivers headed west on the West Seattle Bridge can’t use the Delridge exit right now – it’s blocked off because of a crash. The call went out as “automobile rescue”; our crew at the scene says it’s on the curve as the ramp comes down to Delridge, lots of fire/rescue crews. No word yet on whether anyone’s been hurt.

12:57 PM UPDATE: One person taken to Harborview Medical Center, according to the incident commander. And the ramp is open again. This appears to have been a one-vehicle crash, but no details on whether it’s blamed on the wet weather or some other factor.

Many many thousands of cars have driven down that ramp before in wet weather without crashing, so I’m going to guess that although that might be one of the factors….there’s probably something more important, like driving too fast or not paying attentiong.

The crash cushion at the gore point where a driver coming down the Delridge Way Exit ramp can advance either onto Delridge Way to the left or Spokane Street to the right is smashed into on a regular basis. I gave up keeping track.

Sorry, comment time is over.
