West Seattle traffic alert: Rollover on the bridge

8:48 PM: Police and fire are just starting to arrive at a reported rollover crash on the eastbound bridge. It’s parallel with Admiral, according to scanner traffic. More to come.

8:53 PM: The crash was originally reported as westbound; scanner discussion indicated eastbound; but a caller two callers who passed the scene tell us the overturned car is in the westbound lanes. So this is likely to affect traffic in both directions, although one lane is remaining open eastbound, we’re hearing.

9:02 PM: Update – one lane is open in each direction, and again, this is at or near the Admiral exit (out of camera range). No word of injuries.

    The accident is actually past the Admiral exit in the westbound Lane. Pretty bad as it looks as if someone was thrown from the car into the eastbound Lane. But it was hard to tell as I passed by. Lots of paramedics. And ambulance pulling up.

      Thank you – no serious injuries reported, but part of the jersey barrier apparently got knocked out. While we haven’t had much rain here in this part of WS, the traffic cameras sure make it look like the roads are slick, again. – TR

    It started pouring in N Admiral about 10 minutes ago, a torrential rain.

Sorry, comment time is over.
