Medic 112 to Westerville.
00:03
We think this may be on 161 to Little Turtle,
00:08
but the drivers are trying to limp it up right now.
00:10
We're out here with flooded PD.
00:12
It does look like there's some traffic stops going westbound on 161 as well, but nobody's been there yet.
00:22
At 1547.
00:31
Refute you can cancel.

Medical 112, 1912.
00:49
Go ahead.
00:52
Yes, sir, Lennon's going up to check this out.
00:55
They thought they saw a Ravre 4 headed up to Little Turtle, limping it along, so that's where we're going to go.
01:05
Okay, we're going to go back in service.
01:08
It looks like there's cars spun off everywhere in all directions in all lanes, so be ready to see who needs help.
01:22
Capia.
01:26

01:29
J.12 in service.
01:33
Westerville fired a minute of 112.
01:40
Addic 112 go.
01:44
We got additional comments there should be on the outside lane between Sunbury and Little Turtle down the embankment by the river.
01:58
Okay, we won't be able to go down the wrong lane, there's too much traffic for this, so we'll have to get that from the correct lane.
02:06
Is that the 270 to 161 ramp?
02:20
We think it's on the 161 part.
02:23
I'll try to get further from Glendon.
02:28
Copy that, okay.
02:31
Go ahead and start engine 112 this way again.
02:37
I'll start the engine back to you.
02:42
Engine copy is correct.
02:44
We came down 161 to somebody rode from Little Turtle and didn't see anything.
02:52
At that where we had parked, Glennon Township backed down the freeway to investigate that to the section that we couldn't access the way that we came.
03:03
So that's why I think we have to hit from 270 southbound to 161.
03:11
Okay, copy.
03:12
They were in front of a vehicle that was pulled over to the side.
03:15
Are they saying there with multiple vehicles involved?
03:21
Negative. The comments are just saying there's tracks going down towards the water.
03:26
They're not sure if there's a water rescue, but they're going to walk down and look and see.
03:38
Greg, give me those directions one more time.
03:43
If I'm reading the map correctly,
03:46
it's the part that we couldn't access.
03:48
I think it's 270 southbound,
03:51
2-161,
03:54
that lane that runs opposite 161 until it crosses back over into it, it merges with.
04:07
Okay, you're not talking about the flyover, right?
04:18
Yeah, I guess that would be the flyover.
04:20
I'm not sure what that lane was that we were seeing down below us though that was coming along, that he backed down.
04:31
Edge 112, I'll probably call you.
04:36
You're going to have to call the truck phone, buddy.
04:38
And I think that's the through lane from 161,
04:43
from, like, point of parrot.
04:52
Okay,
04:53
I copy. We'll take another run at this.
05:01
Blended did not find anything near the water or the creek.
05:06
However, they need you for the Rav4.
05:10
They're going to have a unit try to guide you in.
05:22
The Emedic 112 copy, which way do they want us coming in?
05:32
The eastbound outside lane.
05:43
Agent 112 to West Coast.
05:45
We have a single car,
05:47
a single occupant.
05:49
that we are stopped at currently at the exit to 270 south from Sunbury Road.
05:58
They're blocking yet.
