(Nearest SDOT cam, 4th/Michigan, looking toward 1st S Bridge)
8:33 AM: We’re getting heads-up from commuters out of West Seattle that this is causing trouble for those who use 4th Avenue South, south of downtown: Seattle Police just tweeted that all lanes of 4th in the 4800 block are still closed for a crash investigation. (The crash went out before 7 am as an “automobile rescue,” though the Seattle Fire portion of the call has cleared.) So if you drive that way via the 1st South Bridge or otherwise – consider a different route. (And if you come through the area and find it reopened, please let us know – once you can safely text, call or e-mail. Traffic updates and breaking news always welcome 24/7!)
11:11 AM UPDATE: Seattle Police and SDOT both say all lanes are open again.
11:39 AM UPDATE: Thanks to Debora for sharing the Seattle Times (WSB partner) link with some details on the crash – a woman had to be rescued from her wrecked car after crossing the center line and hitting two trash trucks, the Times reports.
