It’s trash/recycling day in Gatewood, and a truck is reported to have brought down a wire/cable across SW Elmgrove west of 35th SW [map]. Police are there until City Light can come tend to it, though officers believe it’s a cable, not a live wire, and there’s no accompanying outage.

UPDATE: Police investigating hit-run on Alki, child injured

3:08 PM: Police are closing Alki Avenue between 61st and 62nd after a hit-run crash that is reported to have injured a 2-year-old child. The victim is reported to be ‘awake and alert’ so the initially large SFD response is being reduced. Police are looking for a gray Toyota RAV-4 with a dent on the passenger side, plate possibly starting with CDX.

(Added: Photo by Cami MacNamara)

3:27 PM: Police just told dispatch that they’re reopening Alki Avenue. Medics were taking the child to a hospital; we’ll be following up with SFD for an update.

4:25 PM: SFD tells us the victim was a 5-year-old boy who was in stable condition when taken to Harborview Medical Center. We’ll follow up with SPD to find out whether they found/find the driver.

TRAFFIC ALERTS: Sinkhole on West Marginal Way SW

3:36 PM: Police and SDOT are checking out what’s reported as a sinkhole near the west end of West Marginal Way SW, just east of the north end of Delridge. It’s reported to be about two feet wide by two feet deep, and an officer told dispatch they were marking it with a cone for starters – but because of the hole’s depth, that first cone wasn’t fully visible. So beware for now if you’re headed that way.

6:09 PM: No updates on that but there’s apparently another one – a texter reports one at 35th SW and SW Myrtle (and we’ve just heard SPD dispatched to check it out).

UPDATE: Driver hits utility pole by Solstice Park

9:37 PM: Thanks to Jill for the photo. The driver of that Jeep Cherokee hit a utility pole by lower Solstice Park, at 47th SW and SW Webster, and then, police have told dispatch, walked away – though not before giving his name to the SFD crew who arrived to check on him. That name checked to the car’s owner, a Morgan Junction-area resident, according to a radio exchange between officers and dispatch, so police are trying to find him. They’ve also notified Seattle City Light about the pole and called for a tow truck; no other vehicle was reported involved.

9:45 PM: They’ve caught up with the likely suspect a few blocks north.

TRAFFIC ALERT: Arbor Heights crash

Thanks to everyone who sent tips and/or pics of this crash (two vehicles reported involved) at 35th SW and SW 106th in Arbor Heights. We’re told it’s blocking northbound 35th right now. No major injuries reported. (The rain is picking up, and expected to get heavier, so take care out there.)
