So,
00:01
the wire's down near W Peterson Ave in twenty-four.
00:06
There is another call of an auto accident at Bryn Mawr and Ridge that says that the same tow truck hit the pole and left the scene after he was picking up a car.
00:20
So let me know if you see any wires down over there on Peterson because I also got it at Bryn Mawr and Ridge.
00:32
All right, not on you.
00:33
I'm on scene.
00:34
He definitely hit the pole that all the command lines and everything are attached to.
00:42
It's kind of sort of in the alley, but this pole is damaged.
00:49
It's not going to take more than a strong wind, I think, to totally knock this down.
00:53
So someone's going to have to come out like now and look at this.
01:00
Yeah, we need a command out there.
01:02
Are the wires actually down or the pole just hit?
01:08
There are no wires currently down.
01:10
The pole is hit, but it's like severely damaged.
01:14
I mean, like I said, maybe a strong wind would be able to totally take this down and cause a lot of issues.
01:23
I'm already sending up a notify for command to come.
01:31
So I also got it in 20 at Bryn Mawr and Ridge.
01:38
