TRAFFIC ALERT: Crash on eastbound West Seattle Bridge

Thanks for the tips – Avoid the eastbound bridge from Fauntleroy for a while; a multi-vehicle crash has closed at least one lane. No indication of injuries so far – it’s not even on the 911 (Seattle Fire response) log, but we have multiple reports (thanks to Rachel, Jissy, and Brian).

3:41 PM: Can’t tell the status from off-bridge vantage points and SDOT hasn’t been reporting on this, but EB bridge traffic does appear to be moving, albeit slowly.

    Just drove by… Only saw one car involved. Maybe a spinout? Hope everyone is okay!

    When I drove westbound about 5:00, the left lane of the crest of the eastbound side had what looked like a work crew with orange cones, etc. guess it could have been accident/clean up?

    This was a 3-car crash eastbound, along the first downhill righthand curve where the trees obstruct the forward view. Second time I have seen an accident there where a car stopped (why?) in the right lane (blindspot for anyone following because of the trees). Second car rearended the stopped car, third car (following) swerved left to avoid and crashed into the divider. Both lanes were blocked for a few minutes. Third car looked like a nice BMW (was). Road surface was slick. Cellphone/texting use unknown.

    Further east, along the uphill after Delridge, was the work crew busy with their project (not accident cleanup).

Sorry, comment time is over.
