Heading back from Mayor Nickels’ news conference at City Hall, WSB photojournalist Christopher Boffoli sent this photo from a one-car crash that’s backing up westbound traffic on The Bridge. No medic units involved, per 911, so it appears no one was seriously hurt. Note the tow truck in the photo, which means it should clear soon.
Added at 5:39 Here’s a closer shot that more clearly illustrates how the vehicle hit the barrier:
What is it about that spot? Are people flooring it to get up the hill faster?
I passed by going eastbound. It looked like a one-car accident. Seemed like the crash barrier was damaged so they must have hit that, maybe spun out and ended up smashing into the concrete barrier on the opposite side of the road where they stopped. The front end of the SUV was crushed pretty badly but it looked like a survivable accident.
It was a Green Nissan Pathfinder SUV? that tboned the barrier around 10:45am, it was still up against the barrier perpindicular. Enough of an impact that the barrier moved all the way to the white line on the Eastbound side. Maybe changed their mind on the Harbor Ave Exit and lost control.
Sorry, comment time is over.
