TRAFFIC/TRANSIT TODAY: Tuesday, 2 days till 4th

(Live view from the east-facing WS Bridge camera; other cameras are on the WSB Traffic page)
6:07 AM: The holiday approaches! So does the weekend 99 closure – Battery Street Tunnel to Valley St., Friday night to Monday morning. Before that, there are holiday transit notes on our newly published West Seattle 4th of July page.

9:35 AM UPDATE: Thanks to Kay for the tip about emergency vehicles on the eastbound bridge. There was a short-lived crash call, already closed, and even as we type, someone has called to tell us the scene is clearing.

6:32 PM UPDATE: Headed into downtown, passed major backup on SB 99. Don’t know whether crash or stall, but 2 SPD cars were pulled over with someone in the stadium zone.

Accident on the bridge in the lane to get on 99. Doesn’t look too big. We passed on the bus and I got a good look. But a big response.

Actually looked kind of scary. A small car went into the back of a large truck. Hope the driver was OK.

There was no medic unit callout – but I’ll ask SFD if they were transported via ambulance, or if it was a no-transport-needed situation. Definitely wasn’t major injury, because that not only would have included a medic unit but also would have ratcheted up the investigation level. Thanks for the details – Tracy
