604 you, Becker.
00:06
Can't see that 604.
00:07
And it's 604.
00:12
It looks like we did catch the promotional going south to east and they went up the ramp into Saturday Westman's product.
00:21
I copy obviously, I'm going to need that bookmark and I'll get a form to you.
00:26
Copy.
00:32
1042.
00:34
I copy 1042, thank you.
00:41
Are we going to push 70 eastbound and we're bound?
00:48
We can allow 70 eastbound to flow from the crash scene. We just need to hold at number one lane.
01:01
Okay, number one lane before the splits coming eastbound into the downtown or after?
01:09
So the number one lane, 71 southbound into the curve going into 70 East, that number one lane is what we need.
01:18
We can start to hold it at the overpass just before you go under the overpass.
01:24
That's where the semi started to lose it.
01:27
Came across and then took out the guardrail and made contact with the two other vehicles.
01:33
Okay,
01:34
so we don't know any need to hold anything on 70 westbound at all, correct?
01:42
Yeah, so 70 westbound at the split is what we're holding.
01:47
So we're rounding all the traffic 70 westbound to 71 north.
01:52
The actual split to 70 West, we've got shut down, is going to have to stay shut down.
02:00
Got it. I'm there now.
02:05
This is 1303. I've got the lane 1 closed 71 south to 70 East. Lane 2 is moving good.
02:17
604, I copy that, thank you.
02:23
Section 4a Radio, can you add to the run, TNC cameras captured 1042, camera 70,
02:33
71? That way we can request it.
02:37
That's right on the round.
02:43
991. 1999.
02:45
991.
02:47
I don't know if they are yet.
02:48
The FCMEC 21,
02:50
stable to grant.
02:54
Yes, sir, got it. Thank you.
02:58
6.30, I'm headed out to the church. Where am I needed?
03:06
804. Where do you need 630?
03:10
6-04, if he can assist on that 71 south to 70 east on that number one lane, we've got one cruiser far up and then FSP further back, but the lane is still wide open. I don't want anyone trying to cut over into it.
03:32
...on the curve or go around the curve to the street of it.
03:38
As we get resources to see before the curve is primary, but until we can get that,
03:47
we just grab what we can.
03:49
All right. I'm in route.
03:55
We're sitting in that curb right now, so it should be a lot down.
04:10
26, back one.
04:38
26.
04:41
They're going to need a hard closure,
04:45
70 westbound at the split.
04:48
And then if they could help with some barrels on that number one going 71 south to 70 east, that would be great.
04:58
He's working on it.
05:03
991.
05:09
If you know 815, one critical to grant.
05:16
Copy 815 with one critical. Or did you copy 815, C.S.D to a grand critical. All right, you copy 815, CSD to Grand Critical. Time,
05:27
keep on.
05:33
TMC to 604.
05:34
605 to 604. Do we want patrol to clock down the on-ramp from Miller-Couton to 70 West?
05:42
Yeah, we should shut down that on-ramp. We don't need to keep adding traffic. It's just a freeway.
05:49
I'll be shutting down Miller-Culton ramp.
05:55
626. Where'd the asphalt driver go?
06:04
Is she been evaluated to see if she's impaired?
06:10
Ah,
06:12
on the impaired part, I'm not sure yet.
06:16
All right, I'll go to Grand Web 4, have a conversation with her.
06:27
Copy, I just sent a message to the main channel right now.
06:34
6.5 radio.
06:38
65, go ahead.
06:40
Yeah,
06:41
Medicaid 2-3 is going to go to OSUE.
06:46
That's a diversion from where they've marked that before.
06:54
Yeah, it was Triton Palazzo in Medicaid 823. He's going to OSCE.
07:00
Copy-thinking.
07:05
Sad ass fault, but if you can get a special weather we deal with impaired, that was the help.
07:14
I'm at Ron Grant now. I'm all in over there.
