4:28 PM: Thanks for the tips. One lane is still blocked on southbound Highway 99 near Atlantic, and that’s making the sluggish-at-best homeward commute worse than usual right now. A police car is behind the blocking vehicle, no tow truck in sight so far. If you have a desktop/laptop/landscape-view tablet and want to check before you go, the city’s Travelers Info Map has live video if you choose downtown and then Alaskan Way/Atlantic.
4:58 PM: Still no tow truck, and that area is still down to one lane as a result.
5:03 PM: Good news – the live video feed shows the tow truck just arrived.
5:20 PM: The tow truck has JUST left with the car, and the highway is back to 2 lanes at that spot.
