Motorcyclist hits 520 curb, ‘vaults’ into lake
SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER STAFF AND NEWS SERVICESA motorcyclist ended up in Lake Washington after hitting a curb along the Evergreen Point Bridge and flying over the railing Thursday.
“It’s amazing that she survived,” Seattle Fire Department spokeswoman Helen Fitzpatrick said.
The accident happened just before 11 a.m. at the west end of the bridge. The woman’s motorcycle somehow hit the curb and “she vaulted over the side of 520, at least 30 feet down into the water,” Fitzpatrick said.
The woman landed in a marshy part of the lake near East Montlake Park and made her way to a dry spot, where firefighters were able to help her. She broke her leg, but was alert and conscious when they took her to Harborview Medical Center.
