We clipped the truck on the way by, I'm going to start walking back. Don't think anybody was in the truck at the time. Like I said, I guess it was just battling the rail enough for us to catch it on the left front end, I believe. So I'm going to start heading back and see we got it. I got it. I had to switch down, I could understand you. All I heard was 717.5, but I caught the last part of that, so I'm guessing you struck a vehicle over. That's right. On the east side east rail, S718.3, a pickup truck was out in the balance.
