Truck gets stuck under Ballard Bridge

Posted by Geeky Swedes on August 4th, 2009

A truck heading westbound on Leary got stuck turning right onto 15th.

Ben emailed us this picture that he took just before 6 p.m. “The truck was sort of jack knifed on a poll trying to make a right heading west on Leary. It had it’s hazard lights on. You could still get around it on Leary,” he writes.

    Stuck on a poll? hmmm. 51% wanted him to turn left and 35% wanted him to turn right and 10% wanted him to go straight and 4% were undecided.

    I don't get why he was stuck, then - 51% left is a pretty strong majority here.

    they (sdot) should not allow trucks to turn there or further south. seems the frequency is increasing.

    Jay, the story you link to is for a different pole (at the 15th/Market intersection where Safeway is located).

    Yeah, wrong pole, but right answer, it's taking quite a beating, looks like a giant beaver going at it, it'll be down soon...
