2:08 AM: Police are at the scene of a two-car crash on the eastbound West Seattle Bridge offramp to 99. One car flipped. They don’t know who was driving either car because everybody got out and left in another vehicle. The two were racing, according to at least one 911 caller. One car is a white 2016 Kia Soul, not (yet) reported stolen (police are going to the Alki address where it’s registered to see); the other was only described as a rental with Florida plates and extensive ignition damage. Tow trucks have been called for both. Until they’re cleared, the ramp is inaccessible.
2:31 AM: The officer who went to check with the Soul’s owner just reported back to dispatch that it was indeed a not-yet-reported stolen car. (It’s the car that flipped.)

An overnight-road-work from SDOT for tomorrow night/Tuesday morning:
We are removing the existing traffic markings and painting new ones at the Highland Park Way SW and SW Holden St intersection. This process requires special equipment that is noisy, and we will be working outside our normal construction hours.
When
Monday, October 30 | 7 PM – 5 AM. Please note: This work is weather and temperature dependent, so we may need to shift the date.What to Expect
We will be running equipment that sounds like a giant vacuum, but no vibration or banging is expected. Noisy work will be done by 10 PM. Alternating traffic lanes will also be closed, but there will always be one lane open for cars to get through.
Other major components of the Highland Park Way/Holden project are due for installation in the next few months, including the public art – a giant Steller’s Jay – and permanent signal.

8:06 PM: Police have 35th SW blocked at SW Dakota (map) for cleanup after a crash. We don’t know much about the crash – apparently no major injuries, as SFD has already closed out its one-engine no-medic-unit response. But the SDOT incident team was called because of a fuel/oil spill “running down” 35th southward, so that has to be cleaned up before they can reopen the street.
8:42 PM: Officers just told dispatch that the street has reopened.
