After the crash that killed five people, Ride the Ducks will no longer use the Aurora Bridge, says an attorney for the Seattle tour company. In a Seattle Times story, the state Utilities and Transportation Commission also said that it would broaden its investigation of the crash beyond the safety of the vehicles to include their maintenance and the company's training of drivers.

The bridge has come under scrutiny for years because of the lack of a median and the squeeze that drivers have to endure on the narrowest six-lane bridge in the state. Lawmakers are asking transportation officials for ideas to improve the bridge’s safety.
