TRAFFIC, TRANSIT, WEATHER: Tuesday notes, including Highland Park crash

9:35 AM: Police are checking out a reported collision at 11th/Holden.

9:59 AM: Thanks to the texter who sent this photo from that scene:

10:50 AM: Commenters say a second vehicle was involved but had been removed before the photos we received, including this one from Kay:

No SFD dispatch, so apparently no injuries of note were reported.

Earlier:

6:01 AM: Good morning! It’s Tuesday, April 18th.

WEATHER & SUNRISE/SUNSET TIMES

The forecast for today: Showers, chance of pm thunderstorms, breezy, high around 50. Sunrise 6:15 am, sunset 8:03 pm.

TRANSIT

Metro – Regular schedule, but trip cancellations are still happening, so watch for alerts (if you’re not signed up to get them, check channels like this).

Water Taxi – Now on the spring/summer schedule, which adds Friday/Saturday late-night runs.

Washington State Ferries‘ Triangle Route continues on the 2-boat schedule; check here for alerts/updates and see Vessel Watch for boats’ locations. The Seattle-Bremerton run has a smaller boat because of the weekend Walla Walla incident, so that might mean some spillover to the Fauntleroy-Southworth run.

SPOTLIGHT TRAFFIC CAMERAS

Delridge cameras: Besides the one below (Delridge/Henderson), cameras are also up at Delridge/Genesee, Delridge/Juneau, Delridge/Orchard, and Delridge/Oregon.

High Bridge – the camera at the top:

High Bridge – the view from its southwest end (when SDOT points the 35th/Avalon/Fauntleroy camera that way):

Low Bridge – looking southwestward toward it:

1st Ave. S. Bridge – another route across the river:

Highway 99: – the northbound side at Lander.

MORE TRAFFIC CAMS: See all working traffic cams citywide here, most with video options; West Seattle and vicinity-relevant cameras are on this WSB page.

BRIDGE INFO: Check the @SDOTBridges Twitter feed to see if the city’s movable bridges are opening for vessel traffic.

If you see a problem on the bridges/streets/paths/bay, please text or call us (when you can do it safely, and after you’ve reported to authorities). Thank you!

    The other vehicle, a sedan that look quite damaged with airbags deployed had already been removed when the pic was taken.

    The Highland Park accident happened right in front of me.  They are inches away from the deck on that apartment. Very scary but nobody was hurt. Both vehicles are damaged but it could’ve been so much worse.

      How did this happen?Drove by this when both cars were still on the sidewalk.

    Judging by the bumper stickers, we can blame Obamacare. Because every freedom loving mammal knows it’s all Obamacare’s fault. Joking aside, I hope everyone is ok and there were no injuries.

    Throw in a parking ticket for good measure.

Sorry, comment time is over.
