The victim is, it looks like an on-duty Franklin County Sheriff's Office dispatcher, might be in a city or a county car.

00:13

70 westbound at 315.

00:16

Somebody threw something off of the overpass.

00:19

The dispatcher advises it may have been part of the construction crew or may have been somebody that's walking on that overpass.

00:28

I don't see where the 70 goes over top of 315.

00:33

It's got to be high, 3rd or 4th .

00:35

I'll check 70 if patrol wants to check high 3rd or 4th .

00:40

626, I'll put you on it.

00:41

I don't see anywhere on here where the dispatcher's pulling over, so they might call when they get back to the office.

00:48

Right, copy. You say 66 is checking the overpass and I'll check somewhere else.

00:53

66, I'll check three.

00:55

But the 315 goes underneath 70 .

00:58

So it's either somebody on High Street or on Byrd Street or on Fourth Street.

01:05

Copy that. Okay, yeah, I'll check out 315 .
