Control, I got a disabled vehicle.
00:02
While it's running, it's like putt-putting along here.
00:06
I'm behind them trying to get them over to the right.
00:09
I'm just after Van Buren,
00:12
outbound Kennedy.
00:14
I think, hold on a second.

I'm just trying to block them to keep people from getting hit from behind.
00:22
I'm right at Adams now.

I'm going to try to get them to that big shoulder that's right after Adams over here on the right.
00:30
Could you send ETP to get them off the highway?
00:35
10-4. We'll let ETP know any descriptions on the car, and then are they going to be on the right or left shoulder?

I'm on the right side here.

And I don't know if he's having transmission problems or whatever, but it's running like at two miles an hour.

Any descriptions on that vehicle?

newer model.

ETP has been informed.

Thanks.
