    Not sure what’s up, but the bridge is a parking lot….

    There is a broken down C line bus or accident on the bridge as you approach the 99 on ramp

      Thanks. Nothing on 911 so was just going to start investigating beyond the log …

    So, I was on the bus that was in collision accident on the bridge earlier this morning. We were headed over the WS Bridge in the bus lane. I was all the way at the back of the bus so I didn’t see what happened, but either the driver attempted to merge into the right lane but was going too fast, or someone driving in the right lane pulled out in front of him and cut him off. Either way, we hit the brakes and ran into him, cracking the glass on the bus’s front windshield and damaging the fiberglass body panels on the front right corner of the bus. The bike that was attached on the front of the bus seemed to be intact so we might have just clipped the other vehicle. 
    Fortunately, nobody was hurt. There was no apparent damage to the other vehicle either. It was a flatbed pickup truck with a steel frame, so the bus took the brunt of the impact. After about 20 minutes of waiting on the bus, another C line and a 120 picked us up. I’m not sure if the accident is cleared or not yet.

    It looked like a C line bus had an accident with a sedan at the entrance to 99. Then past that a car had stalled in the left lane just past the exit for 1st.

    Look like there was an accident and/or stalled vehicle:
