News The Overnight Police Blotter
posted by on July 25 at 12:22 PM
Seattle Police are looking for suspects after at least 12 cars were damaged by objects thrown from an I-5 overpass late last night.
Just before 11pm, Seattle Police received a flurry of calls from drivers, who ended up with broken windows and windshields after someone threw bricks or rocks from the Pine Street overpass. Police swarmed the scene—and even called in a helicopter—but were unable to locate any suspects.
A 39-year-old man, who was parked on the freeway shoulder near the overpass, was also injured by some sort of debris. However, police aren’t sure if the man’s injuries are related to the brick-tossing.
Seattle Police are also investigating a possible suicide after a man was found dead near the 520 bridge in Montlake early this morning. Police haven’t released any information about the man, who was found at 5:28 am. While police believe the man’s death was a suicide, officers are still investigating.
Wow. I saw a car driving slowly on I-5 north late last night, and it eventually pulled over near the 520 interchange. It looked like his driver side rearview mirror had been knocked off. This was at about 2:15 AM.
It's all over for the unknown soldier
friggin tweakers.
If people are committing suicide by the 520 bridge, we should put giant steel cage walls around it.
After all, that's what the Stranger wanted for the Aurora bridge ...
throwing bricks off the pine street overpass? mr. poe? your whereabouts at the time of said brick throwing? hmm?
Dammit, that's the second time today someone beat me to my idea. Though I was going to say it might be a good time to get in the fence building business. (not just 520, but all overpasses obviously need fences) It would certainly be more profitable than, say, operating a mental health clinic.
So long as the WSP doesn't make you take the fence down, @6.
Cause they do that.
Will, I'm sure you're trying to be clever and smug, but you just sound like an idiot.
Hopefully the brick thrower was the guy who killed himself.
