Ram, King Ida King, 41, 80.
00:06
Near Fourth Street and E Ninth Avenue.
00:07
Unable to maintain lanes.
00:09
I've seen northbound.
00:10
Looks like it hit a pole and took off.
00:12
The pole wasn't damaged.
00:14
Thank you.
00:17
172.
00:20
172?
00:26
Like acknowledgment, not blocking me, here's actions.
00:28
It's going to get up.
00:29
Farming roads, private roads.
00:31
Copy acknowledgment, not blocking.
00:38
I'm back on my shut.
00:45
3-2-2, can't get you on in.
00:51
3-2 on in.
00:56
Do you back here? What's up?
01:04
So I got to move.
01:07
You want to come over here?
01:09
Help me just sound like cars kind of not backed up for enough.
01:13
So I got to move it.
01:14
But there's plenty of cars still coming over here.
01:17
I was slipping on.
01:19
Sorry, I was slipping on some ice there.
01:21
I did not hear you.
01:24
Can you come over here from? Hi,
01:27
and we're going to shut this side down.
01:29
I got to move my car, but I need you to block.
01:37
172.
01:41
Too tired for you.
01:43
One's going to be King in Voie, not 307.
01:47
Hey, McNeil, you guys don't need that shutdown long term.
01:50
You can start to 5'8.
01:52
Also in the past, if folks are stuck down there and they can't get out on their cell, you can fly one of them to the top hill, but we're not going to run wreckers there to just keep getting cars.
02:00
They can just pull off to the side or stay there until it dries up.
02:04
I can't see her.
02:06
King Lincoln Bull, 9307.
02:08
Okay.
02:11
Just give me back on A or just call me direct if you need me to set up a guard on each side of that just to keep Cook shut down.
02:19
Should be a four to tag, 4-7-boy, do you get in for us, John.
02:25
I didn't hear you, can repeat that one?
02:28
Yeah, we're probably going to have to set up a guard.
02:31
There's a lot of traffic coming this way.
02:32
Uh,
02:34
please.
02:36
We have a Fort Attack, 47, Boy, Union, Nipra, John.
02:42
Happy. Topple.
02:44
Out there. Copy.
02:47
If you guys are able to topple on each side, if you got cones, too,
02:51
I'll call 580, but it probably won't start until 630.
02:54
So if you two want to stay out there, if Medwatch wants to write it out with you, we'll just keep two cars there, one on each side, and then we'll start a guard up for you.
03:03
Copy, thank you, sir.
03:04
Right out of 30.
03:07
Hey,
03:09
I'm going from all the way from Indianola Ave cutting through.
03:12
You need me towards High Street, though?
03:15
Yeah, there's a lot of traffic coming here.
03:17
My car is now at the top of the hills.
03:22
You're going to be able to get up the hills that come from Indianola? Should I go all the way up and cut back to High Street?
03:29
Um,
03:30
I can take your car to handle it.
03:33
Shit, we're about to find out.
03:34
All right.
03:35
I keep clap out.
03:41
You cut out, what you said?
03:54
Um, actually, 9170 is up here.
03:56
So,
03:57
just, you can start ahead of this way, fine.
04:04
Around here right now, I'm at the bottom or I'm at the opposite side of Overbrook at the top of this hill.
04:09
Do you just want me to go over here instead or do you want me to come up there?
04:13
Yeah, I'm going to block over there so people can come over there.
04:20
Do you guys completely do blocking and shutting down the westbound travel?
04:31
Yeah, now one can make me up to seal it's a problem, so we gotta try to,
04:35
here's the problem that I'm gonna try to get these cars up, and then we're gonna block them coming both ways, so I'm gonna set up a guard, so we'll just be holding it down for a little bit.
