One of our colors is called bag. It sounds like a white pickup had pulled up next to the semi and was talking to him about it, so I'm not sure if he works with him or related in some way.

He sat in the parking lot there at the playground for a little bit. It just now took off southbound on Monroe as well. That was a white Chevy pickup if you see that one in the area.

Was the RPA able to see if these light pole was blunt in traffic or if it was in the middle of the road?

The first car that I talked to advised that it was just hanging over the semi.
