2:28 PM: Just as the rain returns – a bit icy this time – there’s been another crash toward the west end of the West Seattle Bridge: This time involving a motorcycle officer from the SPD Traffic Unit. He has told dispatch he’s not hurt but SFD is being sent to check him out; other officers are arriving at the scene.
2:31 PM: Reader photo added.
2:39 PM: Same reader (thank you!) just texted this one showing the location more widely:
Officers have just told dispatch that all westbound lanes are blocked, though they’re “working to move everything to the right shoulder” in hopes that won’t last long.
2:50 PM: Tow truck hasn’t arrived yet but police say the westbound lanes are open again.
