43 to 40.
00:31
Go ahead.
00:34
Are there any tracks that would lead you to believe that the vehicle went into this retention pond or not?
00:40
Or is there a vehicle here I can't see from back here?
00:44
33. I'm looking at the tracks now.
00:46
They start roughly right around my vehicle and they kind of veer away from the pond,
00:51
striking the pole.
00:54
Yeah, I actually went down the retention pond.
00:56
I didn't see a vehicle down there.
00:58
I'll take a closer look too.
01:01
All right, so it's safe to say that it hit the pole and drove away.

01:19
Can you check if this doctor has any video footage of this?
01:26
I just got off the phone with them to advise them that the pole is blocking traffic; he asked what time it started.
01:33
So I'm guessing you can take a look.
01:34
Plug him a call back.
01:36
Thank you.
01:39
43 to 20. I'm already looking on 511.

01:50
Are you sure it got back on the highway? Otherwise, I can check and see if it got off at Breezewood.
01:56
The tracks suggest it got back on the highway.
02:02
Signed for.
02:04
Do you guys need any other assistance? We have 126 down by you, I think, providing waste.
02:10
The vehicle definitely took off.
02:12
There's no vehicle anywhere in the retention pond.
02:17
Pause on the exit.
02:18
They've been notified and are working on getting people out there to get it moved.
02:23
North.
02:27
43 to 33, you're certain the vehicle went back north on 41 and didn't exit?
02:33
It could have.
02:35
It would have been a sharp 90-degree turn, but yeah, it's possible.
02:42
All right.
02:45
20, you can put me on that crash.
02:48
10-4. I just spoke with them again.
02:51
They have a video of the vehicle at the pole around 3:18 when it came back out and continued northbound on 41.
02:59
They didn't have a real vehicle description, just headlights visible.
03:04
Thank you. All clear then?
03:08
40, 33.
03:10
All right.
03:12
You back here, squad?
03:16
10-4.
03:18
You want to help me take a look around, see if we can find any evidence or anything belonging to the vehicle?
03:25
10-4. Yeah, it looks like there's bits and pieces of the front grill.
