Avoid the Four-Level Interchange (A Use for Twitter, I Guess)

I don't have a twitter account, though, so I'll have to put it here.

Traffic is being diverted off of the 110 in the middle of downtown because of a person who is attempting—or (let's hope not) has— committed suicide off of the bridge at Wilshire. Avoiding the 4-level interchange (the 101 is slammed too) is a good idea for any L.A. drivers. Prayers are good for just about anybody.

This news report has been brought to you by the picture-window view of downtown by my desk.

ETA 1: There seem to be a lot more sirens out today, and traffic's still being diverted. I hope everything's ok.

ETA 2 (13:25 Pacific): First coverage I could find. At least the airbags are down.

ETA 3 (14:21 Pacific): The person has been taken into custody, and the streets are clear again.
