3:03 PM: Thanks to Collin for the photo and tip: SPD and SFD are just arriving at that crash scene at Olson/3rd, east end of the Roxbury corridor. Big traffic backup, he reports. Avoid the area for a while. Police have just radioed that they will have one NB and one SB lane blocked.
3:21 PM: Both northbound lanes are now blocked, per police radio.
3:39 PM: No medic unit sent, so apparently no major injuries; we’ll follow up with SFD.
Seems like most of West Seattle has become part of the Autobahn, especially this section of road. People seem to forget that speed, wet roadway don’t mix.
Went by this wreckage and am not surprised. Definitely agree with the Autobahn mentality on this wretched road. I drive it frequently and it is especially treacherous in the dark coupled with the wet weather this time of year. I think the city could improve this stretch (among many others) with new striping for us “older” drivers.
Sorry, comment time is over.
