Turn 14 below.
00:04
Turn 14, go ahead.
00:07
So it sounds like the driver actually called A1 himself earlier today to arrange a tow.
00:12
He was trying to get the vehicle towed in the morning.
00:14
Sounds like they dropped him off at a hotel.
00:17
He did give me the driver's phone number, but doesn't have his name.
00:21
It says that he can go tonight, but he's not turning around.
00:24
So if we change our lines later,
00:26
he's not going to be happy.
00:33
Copy.
00:35
There's really no lane markers right now, and he's decently off the road, as long as people are driving vigilantly, then it should be a problem for them to tow it in the morning.
00:45
Greg?
00:47
Go ahead.
00:49
Did A1 say whether he stated he was in a crash or not?
00:56
Let me ask.
01:02
At 24, he told A1 that he was just needing help because he had pulled off the road.
01:13
Copying, this is a crash.
01:16
I'm going to assume the guardrail damage,
01:19
about 100 feet back, is from his vehicle.
01:22
He is facing the opposite direction, though, so that doesn't make any sense either.
01:26
I would just like to talk with Tim, so if they could post his phone number in the call, and then when I get the service, we'll get the phone call.
01:34
I copy, and I'm not sure if this helps, but when I did look for info earlier, while I did not find a Toyota Sienna that crashed there, we did get another crash at 8.3 this morning at the 1-21 for a red truck.
01:51
Copy. That would make more sense, actually.
01:54
If he just flit off, then, yeah, he can just wait for the tow.
01:57
I'll go ahead and red tag the minivan for now.
02:05
Copy. I will let it is one that no workers to it in the morning and handle that.
02:14
Copy, thank you.
02:15
Also, can you,
02:16
is there any info on that red truck what damage they caused?
02:25
John 14, looking at the original call, they said it was a red truck off the road southbound side of a highway.
02:32
It was down an embankment.
02:35
It looks like,
02:37
next to a concrete culvert, they were going to send them pictures that it was 20 feet off the shoulder.
02:43
A1 came out to get it.
02:50
It looks like they had said vehicle moved up on to pull off from Ditch, until company is leading at roadside driver will range further.
02:58
It's red tagged.
03:03
Copy, uh, don't clear me from this just yet.
03:07
I'll watch you.
03:12
That'll be 2044.
03:16
2 item 14, they'll attack.
03:24
2nd14, did somebody have traffic?
03:27
They have two no attack.
03:33
Gimolence 540 slider.
03:37
Go from 540.
03:41
Just received an update from Fremont.
03:44
They are transporting that patient.
03:46
They would like to meet you at the Howard Fire Station 48 Orchard Lane off of Highway 50.
03:54
Copy that 48 Orchard Lane.
03:59

04:08

David King Zebra X-ray 5-4.
04:14
So Whiteford, I think it's an edge, maybe an escape.
04:23
Just confirming that was David King Zebra X-ray 45?
04:31
S-S-60 in the blind coast, I've got in 2015 Whiteford Explorer Explore, Expiration 726, Joint Clear, 23-48.

04:55
In 1650, hello?
04:58
What?
04:59
Just confirmation, were you eastbound or westbound?
05:03
Well, they were westbound, but they're in the center median.
05:10
Happy? I'm ready for a half.
05:17
Hello to tell you.
05:18
Thank you. Thank you all.
05:25
Okay, so the vehicle is off the other way enough, I don't think it's actually blocking.
05:30
I'm not going to consider it abandoned for right now.
05:33
So I'm like Ted was going to be able to come get it in the morning.
05:36
If you can keep me attached to the call, I'll make it the driver a call when I get back to cell service down the mountain.
05:42
Right?
05:45
Hi.
05:47
Hi, sir.
05:54
I suspect that this minivan definitely hit the guardrail.
05:59
So I'm going to give the driver a call and get his story and see what he says.
06:04
Just you can go ahead and label this a motor vehicle this a motor vehicle.
06:08
And then...
