West Seattle traffic alert: Stuck truck shuts road

ORIGINAL 6:35 PM NOTE: Separate from the fire incident that’s wrapping up downhill, police are handling a problem with a truck that’s blocked off 22nd SW before the downhill curves – and the tow truck won’t arrive for an hour or so. They’re putting up closure signs at 20th SW/Holden and 21st SW/Webster.

ADDED 10:33 PM: Jon shared photos (one is added, above) “of the truck that was stuck down the street from my house. He had a load of sheetrock for Home Depot. The tow truck was able to pull the end of the trailer back so he could get down the hill. Somehow we need to get the city to put signs up at 16th and Holden so they don’t do this. This isn’t the first one in my 14 years here.”

    Moron.

    It’s called GPS/maps.google. Look into it.

    Sorry, I’m going to have to agree with the first comment. I think part of your job as a truck driver is to do it as safely as possible…you can tell from the top of this hill that it’s not a good place for a semi! This is almost as bad as the bus that slid down the hill and almost crashed onto I-5 two winters ago.

Sorry, comment time is over.
