There's a tow truck that's broken down here on Addison and Pulaski.
00:06
Can we get an emergency reload here for this tow truck?
00:12
You need an emergency reload for a tow truck?
00:17
Yeah, and actually has a floater on it, and it's broken down right in the middle of the street on Block and Addison.
00:25
Other than that, we've got to do parking courtesy, I guess, and just hard for officer safety just to know that there's a vehicle like this, that middle of the intersection.
00:40
Okay, is it tow truck related to the auto accident?
00:44
No,
00:45
that's why we made nothing with Idaho after them.
00:47
This is on Addison and Pulaski.

Our traffic accident is even parking in Elkney.

I have an auto accident on a board, one coming in on 16 and one is on 17.
02:11
Can you tell me which side it's on at Montrose and Cicero?
02:16
On your back, 10?
02:22
1621.
02:24

02:26
We're here with the detectives unseen at the CVS.
02:30
We were told that they're going to take the offender over to the area squad.

02:42
1722. Hey, at lunch, for the point.
02:45
Was that 1722?
02:48

1702 Sam.
03:04
Yeah, the pot at Cicero and Montrose is not working right now.
03:07
So, can't tell what side of the district is on?
03:11
Sam 4.
03:16
1723?
03:19

03:21
Can I have you ride by this auto accident, Montrose and Cicero, and can you advise if it's on 16 side?
03:30
7-4.
03:32
And it's also coming in on Wilson and Cicero as well, so if you can advise when you get over there, please.
03:40
Okay, 4.
03:46
1732 for info.
03:50
Okay,
03:53
so far as the other tow truck,
03:55
is it a floater, is it a flatbed or actual regular tow truck with a car hook to the back?
04:02
It's just like that and it hasn't floated on it.
04:05
Okay, so I talk to streets and fans.
04:08
They're not sure if they're able to lift that vehicle.
04:11
So they're going to give me a call back.
04:12
I don't know if you're communicating with the tow truck driver about the reload, but as soon as I get any further information from the foreman, and they call the zone back, I'll keep you updated.
04:21
But right now I have no clue if they'll be able to even lift him to move him over.
04:29
Yeah, we just spoke with him right now and he related that he's probably waiting for 45 minutes.
04:34
So I figured that Streets and fans is not going to be able to pick him up to come up.
04:38
So might as well just let him be there and wait for his combinations.
04:46
Okay, so just to confirm, he's just going to have his own people come get him?
04:51
Copy, he's going to wait for, he's at 45 minutes until they come show up to help him up.
