    Any info regarding the motorcycle crash on the West Sea bridge this morning? (2am per STC)

      Hi, there is nothing logged on the bridge last night or this morning. That might be the incident under the bridge at 1st at 2 am?

        I see it now on SPD Blotter, which I check much earlier most days but have been out covering an event for two hours. Posting shortly. (added) SPD says the fall was from the westbound 1st Avenue S. offramp.
