Hey, you may just see Lawrence County on the shutdown there as well?

00:06

Yeah, we're shut down in both directions here and we've got three cars stuck that we can't move.

00:16

I'm not sure who takes care of the 6th Street Bridge.

00:18

We can get a salt truck here.

00:20

I don't even know if we can move these cars until we get one here.

00:30

11.

00:31

It's already sent down and I'm calling the DOA Street Department.

00:39

Okay, well,

00:45

Do you think we can open up this side of the bridge, fire department is asking?

00:53

Sure. Okay, so do we have the car that crashed out of the way on that side?

01:02

Negative. Nothing's going over Ohio.

01:04

There's no pressure.

01:07

Alright, we've got 10 to 15 cars sitting in the middle of the bridge, and yes, we can start rolling them off the bridge.

01:15

I don't know what to do with these cars that are backed up on the other side.

01:18

I don't think it's going to clear because there was another crash near 11th.

01:23

But yeah, the cars you have on the bridge.

01:26

Start rolling them across, I guess.

01:27

I'm going to get that multi.

How did you just pull up at 84, is that you?

01:44

Trevor?

01:48

We need to shut down this bridge, all these cars that are going to come across.

01:52

We need to stop them at some point.

01:54

We're going to send what we can.

01:56

And then we just start to shut down and we get the OH here.

01:58

Or the street part.

02:00

11.

02:04

Go ahead.

02:10

I advise them it was a safety issue and that it would be much worse on the bridge.

02:15

And DOH did not provide an EPA.

02:18

Okay.
