3215. Ma 'am, I have to run into this vehicle. Well, there's about near North Lake Shore Drive. We need immediate reload.
00:08
The car won't fire up.
00:10
It's south and north. It's in the southbound location, northbound.
00:15
The northbound.
00:16
Vehicle. The vehicle.
00:21
It's an early model Ford Escape.
00:31
So, squad, I don't know if the streets are saying to do anything about this, but I'm walking and it's true. Clivity over like all over.
00:42
Okay, I'll let them know. I'm not sure what could be done at this time. Is it still raining?
00:49
It's not rain, but like a shit, this whole thing is pretty, I don't know. I'm not surprised it's just slippery out there.
00:57
Okay, and that's northbound in the southbound lane, it's near North Lakeshore.
01:07
That's what, and you might get a call as this gentleman said there was another kind that spun out just like he did and hit the wall. Either one of them hit each other, they all spun out and hit the wall.
01:19
Okay, so is this a traffic accident? Is this going to require paper as well?
01:24
Well, I'm going to give him a crash before he is trying to get a carrier, but you don't throw his own car.
01:31
Okay,
01:33
all right, I'll see what Streets says.
01:36
So we had two calls, one for the Gold Honda and the other one for the Dodge Caravan, and you have a Ford escape.
01:45
So it may be a separate crash a little bit further north. If so,
01:50
they'll have to...
01:52
call back and I will send it over to the zone but you have the board escape and that's it so low accident and hit the wall I copy me and out on that squad as I'm you know kind of flogging a couple of lanes cars are spinning out so I don't know if we might need to get some lanes and close this down the one lane to figure to slow down right here because there's definitely going to be more access so this is very very slippery right here
02:17
Okay, let me see what traffic says about this ordinance.
02:22
They can reload it for you here. Hang on, I'll let you know. Give me a few minutes.
