8:59 AM: Added a photo from 14th/Henderson scene. SPD says the truck at left was headed west on Henderson when the driver veered out of his lane and into the parked pickup.

1:10 PM: Added – another weekend traffic advisory, this one for the south side of downtown, but you might be interested:

The Seattle Department of Transportation advises travelers of weekend closure of 4th Avenue South (northbound one-way) between South Jackson and South Main streets. 4th Avenue South will be closed from Saturday February 6th at 1 a.m. to Sunday, February 7th at 11:59 p.m. for removal of a tower crane by a private construction company. Metro transit will be able to pass thru on the west side of the bus island, not general traffic.

    The right westbound lane is closed on the bridge, as work is being done on the crash barriers at the Delridge exit. The Delridge exit is still open. There was very light traffic when I came across and so really no current impact.
