321 Motor vehicle accident
00:05
near the Mount Airy turnoff, I believe you said.
00:08
Is it right on the parkway or is that off the parkway?
00:11
Because I know there's an accident in the area,
00:14
but it's just off the parkway just trying to confirm.
00:20
That's 321.
00:21
I believe it's on the parkway since county gave it to me, but I'm not sure.
00:25
That's all I have.
00:27
I'm going to stay in the area as to what I can find out.
00:39
I tried to call the reporting birdie back.
00:41
They're currently talking to EMS, I believe,
00:44
so I can't get any further.
00:45
3-2-1-8-2-1.
00:51
You can get me any further, but I keep getting interrupted by their phone calls coming in, so hang on.
01:05
Still trying to find the accident with the Subaru, South of Mount Erie.
01:09
When I call the reporting party they answer, but they're not talking to me, they're only talking to EMS.
01:14
And so far I'm not getting anybody else that's about this call.
01:23
Um,
01:25
I've got a lot of traffic going north.
01:29
coming from the mountainary direction,
01:32
so they're being detoured for some sort of accident.
01:35
I don't know if that's the one, but I got a feeling it's not going to be on the parkway, but if you're getting further, let me know.
01:41
I'm going to stay in the area.
01:46
800 all units there are, I copy.
01:48
There are accidents everywhere. If we could keep traffic brief, that would be great, right?

3-2-1-8-0.
02:01
I don't know anything about this accident either.
02:04
I do know they've gotten quite a few calls of at least nine vehicles on the parkway between Fancy Gap and Highway 52, approximately one and a half miles from Fancy Gap that are stuck,
02:17
and no injuries on any of those at this point.
02:25
I see one accident it's off the parkway, but I don't see anything else.
