Work crews were installing the metal sheets, part of scaffolding, as part of a painting project on the bridge, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation.
The metal sheets were at least 8 feet long, Q13 reports. One sheet struck a woman on a bicycle on Westlake Avenue.
“It hit the right side of my body — my head and my upper torso…,” Letha Myers told Q13.
Myers then fell off her bike.
“I think I’m just really lucky,” she said.
