I went at the 184, is that a suburban on the side of the road?
04:24
That damn far.
04:25
He's waiting for a tow.
04:28
He called in that, a car hit him about the 185, I think.
04:36
The car that hit him is probably the one in the, uh,
04:39
sorry, the runaway ramp.
04:43
Right.
04:49
There is still a wrong-way driver at the 186.

A-firm, and it's going to be a silver American car.
