Cancelainty's for the two in the center median.
00:02
Let's pull those out one of the better conditions.
00:04
I'm going to try to give the riders a ride off the road.
00:11
In reference to that white SUV you called in or the 1050.
00:17
1050.
00:19
104.
00:22
And even 22 on the one that went in the median westbound at the 178, they were able to drive themselves out.
00:34
That hill.
00:39
Which one?
00:42
The one on the Willmar off-ramp.
00:49
They're out in the grass on top of the hill, out in the center of no-man plants, thinking they're going to pull it out of that drainage ditch.
01:00
Yeah,
01:01
they went off with some speed.
01:06
Yeah, patrol was turning around because they got a car park right in the middle of the ramp and two pickups sitting up on top of that hill.
01:15
Mikey's probably going to go there and tell them to get out of there.
01:24
It's 60 to 9.
01:28
Go ahead.
01:31
Where was that yield at?
01:37
Your radio is always cutting off.
01:39
What did you just ask?
01:42
So where was that yield located at?
01:47
County Road 90 J-turn.
01:50
Kiera just put up a temp.
01:51
Signs not damaged, it just needs new bolts.
01:56
Okay, thanks.
02:03
Tony, I got a sergeant stripe over by the assemblies I got her half.
02:11
I tipped it with the wing.
02:13
Had a car cut me off and I down there had to take the ditch.
02:17
I think I just caught the corner of it.
02:20
I thought I had the wing picked up in time, but apparently not.
02:24
But I'll look at it, let you know if it's damaged or not.
02:32
Okay.
02:38
332 status checks.
02:41
102. 10.4.
02:44
Yeah,
02:49
one more five. I've never seen anybody attempt that.
02:54
Well, I do for a good goal, but it's usually not in the middle of the town like that.
02:59
But I don't know what the problem is with all these cars stopping with their hazards in the middle of the road.
03:09
Do you want to come and fire?
03:12
Go ahead.
03:15
Did patrol come and get people out of there? Do you want me to come and shoot people away or what?
03:26
No, where they're trying to pull the car out of patrol was turning around and heading back that way, so I'm guessing he was either going to monitor them or tell cars to get away, but right here by the shop for the 71 North,
03:39
bypass, there's a car that's taking up three-quarters of the driving lane just sitting there with his hazards on.
03:46
I don't know what they're doing.
03:48
White car might be a good one to tell them to get scooting.
03:54
Copy so it doesn't get tagged, I'll run out there a minute.
03:57
Is it north or cell phone?
04:01
Northbound.
04:03
Right across the hospital there.
