Go ahead, 510.
00:06
Radio Control.
00:07
I just made it to
00:10
Onetta Harris Community Center.
00:13
And coming into the center, there are cars parked all around the campus community illegally.
00:22
It looks like there's a school function or something going on at the campus.
00:27
I manage to see if I could squish through the cars and I have permission to back up my bus.
00:36
to prevent going over a curve over to the left.
00:40
And I'm also requesting to see if a supervisor could come out here and maybe talk to somebody at the community campus about having these cars moved.
00:50
Any of the buses behind me will have the same problem.
00:53
Over?
00:55
10-4, copy that.
00:57
This is Coach 719 again.

28 to control.
01:19
I'm on El Camino, about to make a left on Holly, but I'm stuck at the light.
01:22
I see the bus.
01:24
Yeah, if you could get them to move to a safer location, because he is blocking that port portion of the intersection.

01:43
Go ahead.
01:45
510, if you're able to get somebody to assist you in backing up the...
01:52
That's a negative.
01:53
I already walked out of the bus and whatnot.
01:56
I should be able to back it up safely alone.
01:59
It seems most of the people are either inside the campus or the school right next to the campus.
02:07
Over?
02:09
Ten for copy.
02:10
I want to say, go ahead and just follow the backing up procedure.
02:13
Send four.
02:16
That's a copy, I'll double check again outside before a 719.
02:24
Go ahead.
02:26
719, were you able to get information what kind of vehicle number two is?
02:33
Yes, they're going to move in front of me and I'm going to move right behind them.
02:38
What kind of car is it, 719?
02:41
We should move forward all the way.
02:45
719, what kind of car is vehicle number two, the one that made contact with your bus?
02:51
It's a good time, Nissan.
02:53
Hold on one time, please.
02:54
I don't want to make an extra. This is Coach 719 again.

Copy. 719, we have a supervisor in route.
03:09
He should be there shortly.
03:11
In the meantime, can you exchange information with driver number two?
03:15
I sure would.
03:16
Thank you.
03:18
Thank you, 719.
03:19

Two...
03:45
intersection here at the Belle Haven Community Center.
03:48
However,
03:50
I am still stuck inside of the community center requesting supervisory assistance and I just wanted to see if you could warn any of our buses coming to the Community Center to somehow avoid coming into the center.

Cars parked illegally on the side preventing access for us to turn around.

Coctrine radio control, just the Belhavit community is filled the capacity with cars parked illegally up against the fences in no parking zones.
