Another crash with a street-sign casualty

| West Seattle news | Westwood

2:51 PM Several people have asked us about police and fire at 34th SW/SW Thistle this past hour – it was logged as a low-level car-crash response (“Motor Vehicle Incident”) but the photo above, sent in via text (thank you!), shows one casualty … a street sign. At least the second time in less than a week that a car’s taken out a sign (following last week’s Alki crash). No medic unit sent to this one, which indicates no major injuries, but we’re doublechecking with SFD to be sure.

3:25 PM: SFD confirms it was a 2-car crash with no injuries.

“He hates these signs….stay away from the signs”…… sort of from “The Jerk”

It could be worse: Cat Juggling! …sort of from “The Jerk”.

A friends 16 year old daughter was t-boned right down the way on Thistle, plowing her on the drivers side. The truck tried to race through a stop sign because they apparently couldn’t wait a few seconds. She now has neck, back and leg injuries to deal with. Nice job, van man.

I used to have a bumper sticker “What’s the Hurry?”. Pithy but I hoped it would make people think.

I’ve noticed more and more people treat stop signs as a slow slightly to see if someone is coming sign. If not, barrel on through.

Good reference, John, sort of.

Stop lights,signs,don’t walk lights and all are now nothing more than “suggestions” in this town. I remember when….aww crap, guess I don’t.

I saw a run/bent over sign on Andover today in Pigeon Point between 21st and 22nd. I’m not sure how long it’s been bent over like that–I only noticed it today.
