Police Chase and Accident on I-405
http://www.kirotv.com/news/15691015/detail.html
So, a driver was riding solo in the carpool lane on North I-405 early this AM. This is not advisable, either here, on that freeway or at that time of day. WSP does *not* screw around with carpool violators.
They attempt to pull her over. She runs. Well I-405 between Renton and Bellevue is the narrowest and most congested freeway in the state. So her 80 mile an hour run takes place on the shoulder.
North of the I-90 interchange she hits a parked car. She is ok; supposedly there is nobody in the car. However, this turned an exceptionally light traffic day into an exceptionally heavy one.
Proving once again: the Washington transportation system works IF there is nothing out of the ordinary going on.
