Metropolis got a request from a crack in if you all can have some units have the westbound way of I-24 see if you all can locate the accident but the only I-24 bridge they've stated traffic so congested they can't really get up to it they will want to see if you all can try to locate it to see if traffic can get moving or if they have to have a record coming from the other side.
