Appeared to be a 2-vehicle accident that had already happened just under 99 overpass on the West Seattle Bridge/Upper Spokane to I-5, a car and a pickup truck heading east bound, as I went by this morning at 4:45ish. Responders were already there diverting all east bound traffic to the north bound on ramp to 99. We all had to maneuver around the truck canopy that had come off the truck, over the railing and was laying in our on-ramp lane of travel.
