8:39 PM: Thanks to Andy for the photo. For the second time today, a downed utility pole is blocking a major West Seattle street. This time, it’s California SW between Graham and Raymond. No info yt on the circumstances.

8:45 PM: Readers tell us this one did NOT involve a crash – the pole just fell. No injuries reported.

8:57 PM: In comments, Austin says the pole fell on his car, and that the pole was damaged by termites. Photos:

Meantime, Andy reports city crews are on the scene.

9:29 PM: The road has reopened.

9:39 PM: Avoid 8th/Roxbury – a crash is under investigation on the county side, and a reader reports Roxbury is blocked both ways. We’re headed to check.

10:24 PM: Still blocked from the east side of the intersection eastward, taped off, when we were there. Two damaged vehicles were in view. Deputies on the scene aren’t commenting so we’re seeking info from KCSO’s media-relations sergeant.

SUNDAY NIGHT UPDATE: Sgt. Ryan Abbott of KCSO tells us, “Deputies attempted a traffic stop of a mini-van. It did not stop and instead accelerated away. Deputies pursued the van for a short distance but terminated soon after starting. After the pursuit was terminated. the van crashed. The driver fled from the car but was arrested a short distance away by deputies. The passenger did not get out of the car and was arrested by deputies. The mini-van was taken for a search warrant.”
