4116, I've got a detour for you.
00:02
Can you take that right-hand turn where you are right now?
00:05
Sean, what's the other street? You talking about Anna?
00:09
No, no, no.
00:10
Go up to Westbury, please, if you can.
00:12
Take a right on Westbury,
00:13
take that until it ends, and then left on Woodcrest.
00:17
Woodcrest will bring you around to Bauer, left on Bauer, left on Arctic, which will bring you back to Bell Creek.
00:22
I'm going to send that scene a text.
00:23
Oh, because I'm already right there at the accident scene.
00:29
I see you saying you can't go any further.
00:31
You can't make it up to Westminster?
00:33
I think I'll be able to make it because I see there's some cars that's like, you know, trying to pass through.
00:40
Okay, I'm going to send you the detour.
00:42
Take your time and use your judgment.
00:45
I'm sending it to you as an option.
00:47
If you don't think you can make it safely, don't push it.
00:50
But I'm going to send you the detour right now, right?
00:53
Good afternoon.
00:54
This is a block 3089, run 771, driving bus 5040.
01:01
I'm here on McArthur Boulevard, like 80th and McArthur Boulevard, going towards the naval base.
01:08
And it's a truck that's in front of me.
01:11
He's painting the lines.
01:13
He's moving real slow, like 2 mi an hour.
01:16
So I'm gonna be late for the pickup.
01:18
And that traffic backed all the way up across.
01:22
Debris.
01:23
I just acknowledged.
01:24
Thanks. Call me from the navy base, please.
01:27
I mean, we'll figure it out when we get there, but we may have to catch up later.
01:31
But thank you for the heads up.
01:33
You doing the right thing.
01:34
Just stay behind him.
01:35
Please don't try to do anything heroic.
01:38
Okay, copy.
01:39
Yeah, because they said don't try to pass.
01:41
So moving real slow.
