This morning, Aug. 28, shortly after 3 a.m., witnesses observed a vehicle westbound on the West Seattle bridge at a high rate of speed.

The vehicle swerved and struck the north side jersey barrier and then deflected across to the south side barrier. After striking the south side barrier the vehicle tumbled and came to a rest on its tires facing westbound.

The driver and sole occupant was unresponsive and was not wearing a seatbelt. The Seattle Fire Department responded and worked on the driver before transporting him to Harborview Medical Center where the driver died from his injuries.

The driver was a male and 27 years old.
