Click, I send people to go around it.
00:18
Yeah, I'm going to shoot up here to Woodbridge and divert people.
00:25
Clear.
00:30
Until we identify what it is.
00:32
I'm not getting out to check.
00:34
So if it's a data line or something, we're all good.
00:36
But if it's not, it's real dangerous and scary.

Got a county unit on the west, on the east side.
01:47
I'm on the west side right now and there's another one.

Back down the road here for me, I'm just trying to figure out what we got here.

It's going to be in the eastbound lane.
02:38
I can't tell you if it's tied or not until I get more light out here.
02:41
Come right down to the semi-truck and then we're going to have to set that light tower up so I can see some more.
02:52
Very now.
