9:17 PM: Big emergency response for a crash, possibly three people with serious injuries, at West Marginal Way and Spokane Street. We’re en route. Avoid the area.
9:35 PM: West Marginal Way SW is partly blocked off just east of the five-point intersection, just under the west end of the low bridge. We’ve just arrived near the scene and have also heard part of the medical reports on the victims. Three people are hurt – two with major injuries, one somewhat less serious. Two are described as men in their 20s; we missed the third description. All three were in the backseat of what’s described as a vehicle that hit a concrete bridge pillar “at a high rate of speed.” Two others were reported to be in the car.

9:51 PM: SPD tells us at the scene that this is on Port of Seattle property, so Port police will take over the investigation. We’ve added a photo of the car atop this report. As for the two other people reported to have been in the car – where they are, apparently no one knows.
10 PM: Traffic is now being allowed past the scene in both directions, and a tow truck has arrived.
10:49 PM: Added photos from WSB’s Christopher Boffoli with a wider look at the scene and closer look at the car, as the tow crew prepared to remove it.
