UPDATE: 1 to hospital after 35th/Morgan crash

7:02 PM: Thanks for the tip. That SDOT-camera screenshot captures part of the scene of a crash at 35th/Morgan, blocking southbound lanes (not in view) at last report. We’ll be checking with SFD regarding injuries; only one engine was dispatched, so apparently nothing major. Avoid the area for a while.

(Added: Photo texted by Jeremy)

7:36 PM: Metro has sent an all-clear notice, but the live SDOT camera shows the southbound lanes still blocked.

7:52 PM: A tow truck is on scene now.

8:06 PM: Now there’s some cleanup work in view.

ADDED WEDNESDAY MORNING: SFD spokesperson David Cuerpo says their crews “treated a 21-year-old man who was in stable condition. AMR transported him to a hospital for further care.”

That is the second crash in less than a week. Life is a journey not a race.

My daughter’s friend was in this accident. Black car ran the red light, this intersection is the worst.

IT’S AN INTERSECTION! there is nothing whatsoever inherently bad of the intersection. Maybe you just started driving, tomorrow.

I live near this intersection and it’s just gotten worse over time. I’m not sure what the underlying cause is, but there’s lots of aggressive drivers during rush hour and speeders in the late night. As a pedestrian you really have to watch your back and sides; it’s becoming very dangerous to cross.

I have asked for moving violation enforcement well before hundreds of cops left. Things just continue (ie speeding) or get worse (I’m seeing left turns on red arrows for example). A lot of people have developed a lot of bad habits and with just a few traffic officers .. the reality is, there is probably no way to curb the behavior with tickets or education.

If i recall, we don’t have a traffic division of the police. Haven’t for a long time

Hope she’s ok.I’ve have been in a hit a run in the past here in West Seattle A full sized pickup truck ran a stop sign and T-boned me drivers side. Knocked my driving glasses off my head into the street. Totaled my car. I called 911 immediately, took a picture of the person and the license plate. Never heard anything else. My insurance covered the lose, but where is the justice?

Who needs/wants “justice” these days? 😂😂 It’s all about insurance, lawyering up, and trying to get rich off everyone’s misfortunes – including our own. Nobody’s “innocent” here.

  What a sad, cynical comment Bill. I don’t believe cynicism is inevitable, even in the face of the ongoing chaos we call modern life. I wish you, and anyone involved in an auto accident, both justice and health. How they walk that path attempting to get there is their business.

  what about this thread brought this and the other loony reply?

  Breaking laws meant to protect people’s lives should always be met with justice. Apathy breeds more crime and harm unfortunately.
