Bicyclist on I-5 causes traffic jam
A man on a bicycle rode onto I-5 and zipped across all the lanes this afternoon, backing up traffic.
Traffic on Interstate 5 has resumed to a normal pace in North Seattle after a man on a bicycle rode onto the freeway and zipped across all the lanes this afternoon.
Witnesses told the State Patrol that they saw the man riding south in the right lane about 2:10 p.m. The bicyclist then cut across all lanes of traffic and into the car-pool lane, said Trooper Curt Boyle. Motorists pulled over, stopped the man and held him for troopers.
When troopers arrived, they got into a scuffle with the man, Boyle said. The man was being detained in handcuffs in the back of a squad car on Interstate 5 near Northeast 130th Street but has since been taken to Harborview Medical Center for a mental evaluation, Boyle said.
