My other dispatcher got a call from somebody. It sounds like a car hit a telephone pole near the 12000 block of S-56. The vehicle then traveled on 140th Street. I haven't stopped right now on 140th in X Avenue on 911.
00:20
I can still hear the car horn going off.
00:23
So I'm not exactly sure the vehicle was, but there may be a power pole down or something here on Hes 506.
00:33
We will check it out and if we get a little closer, we'll let you know.
00:38
You see?
00:43
I'll head that way as well.

Brady had taken a call from my subject advising that there was a vehicle that hit a telephone pole,

near 1-28-68 S-56.
00:59
The vehicle then went on to, I believe,
01:02
140th Street, that is where 911 is located. I'm showing just east of the county line right now, stopped.
01:09
I can still hear a car horn going off, maybe now from male voice in the background, but still can't get anybody to talk to me.
01:25
We hit a pole at that time.

About quarter to a half a mile.
01:50
We'll need the power company out here.
01:55
Is that on the east or what? I'm gonna be on the east side of S-56. Did you say the car is on 140th Street?
02:07
I still have the 911 open and you still hear the car horn.
02:13
It looks like it last stopped and hasn't moved for a while on 140th, about half a mile east of X Avenue, just in Jersey County.
