A light pole was knocked down, lying inside the curve of the ramp. It may have been there already, but I hadn’t noticed it before.
Three cars were stopped along the side of the bridge. No obvious damage.
A tow truck sat in the left lane, surrounded by traffic cones.
People stood around on the side of the road, talking on cell phones (presumably calling insurance agents, police, or more tow trucks).
Two SUVs were in the middle of the bridge, one facing forward with its right front wheel assembly ripped off. It was leaning forward, resting on that corner, debris scattered around it. The other was facing backward in the far left lane, aimed slightly toward the center divider. This is an odd pattern: SUVs facing backward in the left lane on that bridge. I think there must be something about their balance that makes them likely to start spinning when drivers take them out of the turn and try to merge left.
Although in this case, the tow truck driver was stopping traffic so that the backwards SUV could turn around. As the driver swung the car around, I saw a huge dent in the rear passenger side door. It became clear that, whatever led into the accident, the other SUV had rammed it, losing its own wheel for the trouble. Now that I think of it, this isn’t the first SUV I’ve seen lose that wheel on this ramp.
