UPDATE: Crash on westbound West Seattle low bridge; water trouble on West Marginal

10:33 AM: What was reported as a two-vehicle collision is blocking the westbound low bridge right now. SPD and SFD have responded; no major injuries reported so far, but avoid the low bridge for a while. In addition to towing, the scene is reported to need a fluid-spill cleanup before it can be cleared.

Meantime, speaking of fluids, a broken hydrant is reported to be “spewing water” possibly almost a foot deep on West Marginal near Front Street.

11:18 AM:. Police have told dispatch that all lanes of the low bridge are now open again.

I’m stuck in stop and go traffic on southbound exit from I-5 to West Seattle freeway. Extremely slow, lots of waiting. Long line of cargo trucks virtually blocking lane waiting to exit to docks. Cars unable to merge due to blockade caused by volume of trucks. Recommend avoiding SB I-5 to West Seattle.

That would be a good note for our daily traffic post – I’ll add it there; thanks.
