You let state patrol know that there are wires down in the middle of the highway.

00:03

We have northbound and southbound 503 shut down.

00:06

And I guess district seven has already contacted Cowlitz County.

00:12

Received. Do you need state to respond?

00:18

Uh, probably help with some traffic control, but at least one person might get help on the other side.

00:26

This is

Cowlitz County.

19, go ahead.

I'm the only one on in the county and I'm on a hit and run right now.

Received. North, did you copy that?

00:48

Negative.

Nine hundred and ten is the only one on right now.

00:53

He's on a hit and run.

00:54

So is he extended ETA for state?

00:59

Okay, we'll figure out.

01:00

Just can you confirm with Cowlitz PD they have a crew dispatched coming around?

01:06

I'll call, make sure.

It's a live wire that goes to (number withheld) Yale Bridge.
