An early-morning carjacking on the Delridge ramp to the eastbound West Seattle Bridge appears to have begun with a sign placed in the roadway near the long-vacant house by the ramp. The driver, headed to work around 4:40 a.m., got out to move it and was then confronted by three armed suspects.

The suspects were described over police radio as teenage males wearing gaiters. One was reported to have a gun and another a knife. They took a silver Subaru Outback, described over radio as a 2023 model with plate CVV7246, and drove it onto the bridge.

The victim was reported to be physically OK but badly shaken. Seattle police had not yet released a full report, and the incident number associated with the case is 26-330755.

For drivers using the bridge approaches before dawn, the episode is a reminder to be cautious around unexpected objects or blockages in the roadway, especially in dark and lightly traveled stretches.
