Seattle Police arrested a man for vehicular assault following a collision on the West Seattle Bridge Friday morning.
At 3:26 a.m., patrol officers responded to a report of an injury collision on the West Seattle Bridge near the 1st Avenue South exit.
The Seattle Fire Department arrived and treated the driver, 33, and his female passenger, 25, for injuries. She was transported to Harborview Medical Center in serious condition with non-life-threatening injuries.
Officers determined that the man was traveling eastbound on the bridge at a high rate-of-speed and struck multiple concrete barriers before coming to rest quite a distance later.
The driver was impaired by alcohol and was placed under arrest for Vehicular Assault. He sustained minor injuries and is expected to be booked into King County Jail pending medical evaluation.
Detectives with the Traffic Collision Investigations Squad arrived and processed the scene.
