00:41
We'll stand by for a little while here.
00:44
You may want to get DOT on the phone.
00:47
The second truck here is oversized and not going to make it, so we're going to probably end up having to shut the road down.
01:00
You know,
01:01
at the top of Esty Hill, just a bird traffic route up you guys are going to have to shut this down.
01:14
Have this truck turn around.
01:18
Tapore. I couldn't tell how big it was, but definitely I ain't going to make none of that wire.
01:25
No. I think the one crossing the road looks like Spectrum, but I see those primaries are low, too, so.

02:19
It's going to be a 20-year-old male laceration to hand.
02:24
He fainted and now he's conscious. It's a 21 alpha-1.

Hi. Again, that's driving anyone.

20-year-old male laceration to the hand caused him to faint,

So 21 alpha-1, 23, 4-9.
02:52
DOT's been notified.
02:53
