    From the, ‘in case you wondered..’ Do you know what happened at Delridge and Barton last night? Got the message from Metro indicating significant delays due to a collision. thanks

      Just that it was a crash. Wasn’t on my radar until that Metro alert, and the one-engine dispatch (indicating no major injuries) had already closed an hour before it. Apparently the cars involved needed to be towed and it was taking a while – I heard police radioing in to dispatch asking how much longer it would take because the blockage was holding up buses. – TR

Sorry, comment time is over.
