Locals may have seen the headlines about a 1500lb-or-so chunk falling off the Alaskan Way viaduct.

Turns out the chunk in question was a piece of the guardrail which was probably hit by a vehicle ... I say "probably" is because the vehicle has not been identified.

An unidentified vehicle, possibly a truck, hit and knocked loose a 30-foot-long segment of concrete rail, sending it over the edge of the ramp, said Seattle city transportation spokesman Rick Sheridan. There were no injuries and apparently no damage to vehicles parked on the street under the ramp, Sheridan said.

"Fortunately no people were struck or vehicles...so it was fortuitous that it landed in that location," Sheridan said of the rail segment. "Whoever was driving the vehicle was very lucky he didn't harm himself or others." The errant vehicle had not been located as of early Monday afternoon. Police "are treating (the incident) as a hit-and-run," Sheridan said.

So...the viaduct is the victim of a hit-and-run. I find this hilarious.
