Heard on: Washington County TN Regional Public Works

02:00

00:00

Interstate 81 northbound at the 45.4.

00:04

On the right shoulder, I have a black Mazda 3 sedan, Tennessee tag (number withheld).

00:14

It is occupied.

00:17

8104, we've got traffic at 8104.

00:27

8115 to Knox.

00:32

You can come up and clear scene.

00:35

Services were MOT and welfare check.

00:40

We tried to put air in the spare tire and the valve stem is ripped, so he has a wrecker coming.

00:51

8104, traffic's back to 20 and I'm backing up.

00:56

8104, I'm sorry, can you repeat?

00:59

We got traffic back to 20, I'm backing up for the jam.

01:05

Yes.

01:08

8104, it looks like it's starting to clear up right just past the exit.

01:12

Do you just want to hang tight there for a minute?

01:15

Copy that.

01:20

8119 Knoxville.

01:23

Go ahead.

01:25

Out of service.

01:26

Materially reachable will be on.

01:29

Yeah.

01:31

8109 Knoxville.

01:33

Go ahead.

01:35

I believe a lot of the traffic that 8104 is experiencing is coming from the vehicle that is in the ditch where people are rubbernecking.

01:44

Just wanted to let you know.

01:47

Okay.

01:50

8120 Knoxville.

01:53

Go ahead.

01:56

Welfare check, return to service please.

01:59

Vehicle has a tow truck en route.
