UPDATE: Stuck truck on Delridge

11:51 AM: A texter reports, “There is a fuel truck stuck on the median just outside the Shree’s gas station on Delridge south of Brandon, It’s backing up southbound traffic.” Avoid the area for a while.

11:59 AM: You can see the truck in the backdrop of our screengrab from the nearest SDOT camera. Police have just been dispatched.

12:02 PM: Officers arrived to find the truck has gotten itself unstuck and departed.

    Gee. Who could have ever foreseen this exact thing happening when they installed giant islands in the middle of a narrower main arterial? Shocking! 🙄

      Blame the reckless drivers for speeding and passing in the 2-way turn lane who necessitated these changes to protect the rest of us from their sociopathy.

    Thanks for the great re channelization of Delridge! Just like getting stuck behind a garbage truck!

      I mentioned garbage trucks every time they took comments on the project.  However, my favorite is my experience as a pedestrian.    I’ll be walking along the sidewalk and I have to divert to walk out in the street because a delivery driver or repair person park their vans /trucks on the sidewalk/ planter strip.

    This is why we cannot have “more busses” and one of the biggest cases for lightrail. Cannot have traffic and accidents impeding reliable transit.

    Love to see folks with axes to grind come out to comment on simple distributions like they were Nostradamus. countless instances of car crashes delaying and blocking traffic everywhere in this city, but sure: this less-than-9-minute blockage happening should make us rethink safety infrastructure…

    come on people, how many times has this happened since they added the medium. Besides this has to be a rookie driver for this site and that’s why he got stuck. Don’t drive Delridge Tuesday afternoon, or you will get stuck behind the garbage truck and or school bus too.
