Traffic alert: Crash has eastbound bridge at a standstill

Emergency crews are at the scene of a crash on the eastbound side of The Bridge. No details except for one warning if you’re thinking of heading that way – DON’T. Our tipster hasn’t even made it past the Delridge onramp yet and traffic is at a standstill. 10:02 AM UPDATE: It’s a two-car crash. At least one person hurt, but being transported by private ambulance, which usually means “not life-threatening.” The cars are blocking the exit lane to 99 and the bus lane right at the top of the highrise. Everything’s moving smoothly once you get past it. 11:24 AM NOTE: As you can see in the “live” pic from the traffic cam, all’s clear now.

    We headed East over the bridge around 9:20, and there was a bus with its yellow flashers on stalled in the right lane — not the bus lane — just as you came over the high point of the bridge, heading down toward the 99 exit. We slammed on the brakes quickly and were able to move over to the bus lane to get around. It was catching a lot of people by surprise. Maybe this contributed to the crash?

Sorry, comment time is over.
