3:47 AM: If you’re heading out early this Saturday morning, be forewarned there’s a big crash response toward the east end of the eastbound West Seattle Bridge – it’s just been upgraded to a ‘rescue extrication” response. … Firefighters tell dispatch that three vehicles are involved, and they’re going to need to cut somebody out of one of them.

4:05 AM: The eastbound side is completely blocked by the response, as the traffic-camera image above shows, so if you need to get to I-5, the old detour route through Georgetown is a better choice right now. No word so far on how many people are hurt.

5:02 AM: Traffic camera shows the scene is cleared and eastbound traffic is moving through that stretch again.

9:25 AM: Crash reported at 35th/Morgan. Camera shows it’s blocking the southbound lanes of 35th north of Morgan:

10:20 AM: A tow truck has arrived. The outside southbound lane is open, so traffic is getting by both ways, but SB is slower going. No major injuries, as no medic unit was dispatched, but we’re checking with SFD.

10:32 AM: Big backup on the eastbound high bridge right now because of a crash into the barrier just before the 99 overpass.

11:04 AM: We’re no longer in that area but the high bridge’s SDOT camera shows at least one lane is still backed up eastbound. We’ll be checking with SFD regarding injuries – the log indicates one engine remains on scene.

9:47 AM: That’s the view from the new-ish Delridge/Orchard traffic camera, with police blocking southbound Delridge Way because of a crash. Few details except that a truck is involved and officers have called for an SDOT crew to clean up spilled dirt. Avoid the area for a while.

(WSB photos)

9:59 AM: At the scene, we’ve learned the incident with the spill is actually on 30th/Genesee, The crash blocking southbound Delridge is a collision where Sylvan meets Delridge; no serious injuries, and they’re awaiting tow trucks. Photo added above.

10:14 AM: Our crew then went over to check out the Genesee situation. A stuck truck spilled some dirt; eastbound is blocked at Avalon and westbound is blocked near the hillclimb section east of Avalon:

10:34 AM: The Delridge crash has cleared and all lanes have reopened.

10:41 AM: And on Genesee, there’s still dirt to clean up but officers just told dispatch “the truck is out of here.”

10:48 AM: A driver is reported to have hit the median near the Admiral Way offramp on the westbound West Seattle Bridge, and SFD and SPD are on the way – no word yet on injuries but all westbound lanes are blocked right now, so the response is likely to affect traffic for a while.

11:04 AM: SFD is clearing the scene, which suggests no serious injuries.

6:00 AM: Good morning! It’s Tuesday, January 24th.
