Graffiti Artist Survives Fall On Freeway Bridge
SEATTLE - A young man trying to "tag" a sign with graffiti over Interstate 5 on the Ship Canal Bridge early today fell 20 feet to the road below and survived, apparently without injury.
Despite landing on his head, Colin R. Carlton, 19, suffered no injuries and was admitted to Harborview Medical Center for observation only, according to a spokeswoman.
Carlton had defaced the Department of Transportation sign over the south lanes about midspan and was climbing down when he fell about 4 a.m., said the State Patrol.
