Tanofor City Radio, we're having someone not down that way.

Number, thank you.
00:29
1.06, 24.
00:38
Go ahead.
00:41
Check in your 20.
00:44
I'm just passing the 59.
00:52
When you come up on the mess there, cross the median before the crash and stay on the north side of it, because everything behind it will keep hitting until we can close it down.
01:05
H.P. 24, 297, 21.
01:10
24 right.
01:12
I'm sitting at 53 kind of, sort of.
01:15
Not sure how this will work because I push them off.
01:18
I don't have anyone up there to keep them from getting back on interstate.
01:23
Yeah, 10.4.
01:24
We have to shut down at exit 50.
01:25
I said 51, but exit 50 because there's too big a hill behind you to get traffic off in time.
01:31
It's too dangerous.
01:33
If we can shut it down at exit 50 and have another unit on the northbound ramp at 53 to keep them from getting on there.
01:40
But we have to shut down at exit 50.
01:46
I'm going to turn around and head back up to the 50 then.
01:53
10Fort.

01:57
So, go ahead.
01:59
I'm just leaving Hudson from that.
02:01
It's like one, Frank.
02:02
Do we need to call another guy early?
02:06
Yeah, 104. We probably have 6 or 7 smashed semis coming into this crash and it will keep getting worse.
02:18
I'll talk to 46 and get two full units.
02:22
Okay.
02:27
Call 19, H.P.
02:28
24.
02:30
H.P. 24?
02:33
Oh, you're busy, but can you get HP 180 to come 108 and head this way? He's coming from Yankton but can start heading this way?
02:41
Stanford.
02:49
So you want me at 53 for now and once we shut down, I can head over to your location?
02:59
We need to shut down at 50.
03:01
I don't think anyone will try to get on at 53 because there's little traffic.
03:06
We just have to stop northbound traffic at 50 now.
03:09
10-4[1]. I'll head down to 50 then.
03:23

All right?
03:45
Tansen and Alcester have one out of Beresford, probably the closest.
03:52
Who's coming out of Beresford?
03:55
Alcester towing.
03:57
Okay, 10-4[1].
03:59
They'll have to go up 472 then come down southbound from exit 56.
04:08
They'll have to start driving southbound in northbound lane to get in front and pull this out.
04:28
Go for one, HV 24.
04:32

10-4[1], I can't shut this down alone.
05:55
I need several more units down here at 50 to shut it down.
06:08
See how many trucks we can get to this area?
06:20
Let me call Sioux Falls Supervisor to get a truck from Linux unit south of cell phone too.
06:29
Good for you.
06:30
We need all trucks we can get because we must shut down 50 first or it will get worse.
06:35
I'm only here at 50 and can't shut it down.
