7:14 PM: Police and fire are headed for a two-vehicle crash reported at Delridge/Trenton. One texter reports one vehicle is up over the curb and almost into a building. Responders are checking on whether anyone was hurt. Avoid the area for a while.
7:31 PM: That’s one of the cars, currently blocking southbound Delridge; the other is blocking the sidewalk on the southwest corner of Delridge/Trenton. Our crew at the scene was told no one was seriously hurt and police are just waiting for tow trucks to come remove the vehicles.
7:56 PM: Eastbound Trenton is temporarily closed right now, officers have just told dispatch.
Thanks for the tips. Sorry we didn’t have an advance alert about this, but we just went to check after a couple of texts, and here’s what we found: SW Holden is blocked because of ongoing work on the new pedestrian signal that’s being installed at 12th SW.
3:47 AM: If you’re heading out early this Saturday morning, be forewarned there’s a big crash response toward the east end of the eastbound West Seattle Bridge – it’s just been upgraded to a ‘rescue extrication” response. … Firefighters tell dispatch that three vehicles are involved, and they’re going to need to cut somebody out of one of them.
4:05 AM: The eastbound side is completely blocked by the response, as the traffic-camera image above shows, so if you need to get to I-5, the old detour route through Georgetown is a better choice right now. No word so far on how many people are hurt.
5:02 AM: Traffic camera shows the scene is cleared and eastbound traffic is moving through that stretch again.
9:25 AM: Crash reported at 35th/Morgan. Camera shows it’s blocking the southbound lanes of 35th north of Morgan:
10:20 AM: A tow truck has arrived. The outside southbound lane is open, so traffic is getting by both ways, but SB is slower going. No major injuries, as no medic unit was dispatched, but we’re checking with SFD.
