Yes, there have been other incidents on that bridge that involve the
slippery surface. (I live in Portland). Lane changes are prohibited on
the steel grating part because of the reduced traction. Of course, not
everyone obeys, and many drivers seem oblivious to why they need to slow
down and not make sudden maneuvers. A few years ago a pedestrian was
crushed and killed by a driver who made that type of error.

According to Jim, there had to have been a cell phone involved in each
of those accidents.
