At the 259, eastbound, man, it looked like you had an accident.
00:04
One car is in the third lane.
00:06
And the other one, I passed by, the other one did like the runaway ramp.
00:10
You want me to turn around and go check it out?
00:11
All right, then.
00:12
Go ahead, 703.
00:13
You want me ride down there? I'm down in Idaho Springs.
00:17
Yeah, 703, you can go ahead and check it out, 705, you can continue on, thank you.
00:21
Just like 703 know, any other information if you have it?
00:24
You said it was at the runaway truck ramp, defense? Yeah, defense.
00:29
Yes, sir, you got one by the ramp, and you got the other one by the in the first lane.
00:35
10th, thank you.
00:36
Okay, Simo3, I see one car on the ramp.
00:38
It's in the left shoulder.
00:39
104, I'm gonna pull up on the one in the left shoulder.
00:42
Does it look like the one that's in the ramp can be moved to you tell from the camera?
00:46
Possibly, it's in the core point.
00:48
Copy that 7.05 gets out of 1913.
00:50
7.03,
00:51
I'm not seeing any damage on the car, on the ramp, and the core point.
00:56
So if we can get him to move out of there, I don't want him blocking that truck ramp, even though he's not technically right now.
01:02
Ten-four, I'll get them to move up or back, whichever one seems like a better move whenever I get down there.
01:08
Yeah, because I need a truck to come up on them and get him in the back.
01:13
Yeah, we don't want to deal with that.
01:14
Ten-four, I'll be there here in just a few minutes.
01:16
We're not laying warm clothes down still.
01:19
Copy that, 1914.
01:22
You're behind it?
01:23
We think. The thing is, the tire's not on a wheel, so maybe they had a tire separation.
01:31
And they've got a lot of damage on the driver's side door on that one.
01:35
I'm going to be calling CSP.
