Cops are yelling for someone to get down on the ground over and over. More cars seem to be arriving at high speed. Any idea why?

WSB March 30, 2018 (10:15 pm)

The scanner is very chaotic and our crew hasn’t arrived yet. There was a report of someone running through yards to the west but I do not know yet whether it is related to this call.

  … they were looking for a person who went running from the crash scene. No description or other info.

Always a potential criminal offense/situation for police (i.e. DUI). They have to contain the situation where probable cause exists.

Don’t go down Delridge…

It was not the police screaming for someone to get down. It was a resident, as a female occupant of the vehicle that caused the collision to 3 parked cars, tried to run. He was able to chase her down and police took custody of her.

So what going on now ? Because if I look out my window I still see about 4 or 5 police cars

WSB March 30, 2018 (11:12 pm)

Police will be on scene until it’s cleared – and certainly that scene looked like it’s going to take a while and multiple tow trucks.

Without commenting on how it happened, it takes speed to cause damage like that.

It’s common knowledge that police do not enforce speed laws, really anywhere in west seattle. There is a radar sign going up admiral and while I realize there was a speed related crash there last year, there are rarely pedestrians or kids on that stretch on admiral, so it’s poorly placed.

I live close to California Ave and the speeding on that road is absurd. I’m not kidding you, I was at the bus stop earlier this week around 8am and saw a cop flying down california, no lights on. Ok, if he was getting to a legitimate crime going down and didn’t have his lights on, then so be it. But the point is EVERYONE speeds on this stretch of road where there are literally dozens of pedestrians, many with small children, walking around at a given time.

SPD, start enforcing the damn speed laws.

Quora,

Just try going 21mph on Roxbury in the school zone enforcement time to prove your point.

Also I see weekly enforcement of the school zone on 35th Ave SW (OLG) by a dark blue unmarked SPD car with dozens of violators pulled over for speeding above 20 mph.

I agree. Seattle police don’t enforce speed laws. Call call call. Call the Seattle police. Request surveillance.

Speeding is so bad on delridge and multiple children over the years have been killed by reckless drivers. One died in front of my home. I wish something could be done to curb these potential murderers speeding down delridge.

John, I have no problem going 20mph on Roxbury in the school zone enforcement time, it’s called being responsible and caring of children/people and being aware of your surroundings.

Projectmuch March 31, 2018 (3:54 pm)

I think you missed the point..

waikikigirl March 31, 2018 (4:41 pm)

Maybe so and maybe not but I drive that road 5 days a week and at school zone enforcement times I don’t see anyone going over the 20mph if anything we’re going under the 20 could be because there are too many cars and you can’t go any faster. ???

Delridge resident March 31, 2018 (8:30 pm)

Report speeders on Hudson and Delridge by calling the Seattle police. You have to call or they will not do anything. Call call call. Request surveillance.

Sorry, comment time is over.
