00:00
This is 600 units.
00:01
I am on a 911 call with an individual.
00:03
I believe he's just coming into Milan.
00:06
He hit a bridge.
00:12
Six eleven copies.
00:18
Should be ten six in the area.
00:23
Six hundred units.
00:24
It's going to be a semi that hit the bridge with a cement culvert.
00:31
Do you know if he's talking like the train bridge, like the viaduct there in Milan, or the one that goes over Lake Faraway?
00:40
606, it's going to be the aqueduct.
00:43
He hit it with his load.
00:47
10-4, we'll be there shortly.
00:49
Can you call state patrol?
00:51
Sometimes it takes hours.
00:54
10-4, I'll let them know.
00:57
Six eleven, 1106 .
00:58
It's going to be at the viaduct.
01:00
There is a massive piece of concrete blocking the roadway.
01:03
They're going to need DOT out here.
01:07
Six eleven, 606 .
01:08
How far out are you?
01:11
10-4, I can see him with the flashers on.
01:17
He's on the northbound shoulder around the curve here.
01:21
Once you get up here, just want to take my spot so he's going to come around this corner and smoke with us if we don't have lights set up.
01:28
And I'll head over on the north side and check on him.
01:32
10-4.
01:35
10-4, 600 units, you need DOT to come out right now for that.
01:41
Yeah, ten four.
01:42
Yeah, need a blade or a bucket or something to get this out of the roadway.
01:49
Ten four.
01:52
It's blocking the entire northbound lane just on the south side of the viaduct itself.
01:59
There is still one lane that people should be able to get through, but there's debris all over.
02:07
Is this the elevator railroad?
02:11
Yeah, I was just thinking.
02:12
I'm not sure exactly whose it is.
02:15
I would imagine it's BNSF, but I'm not sure.
02:19
Chippewa, whenever you get a chance, you want to notify them too.
02:24
It is a massive chunk of bridge that is no longer there.
02:29
10-4, just got off the phone with state patrol.
02:32
They are going to call out DOT and a trooper to assist.
02:35
I believe that's a Red River train track.
02:41
I will contact them and advise them of that.
02:45
Six eleven, triple 28 on that truck's going to be Minnesota yellow (number withheld) , yellow (number withheld) Minnesota.
02:56
Ten four.
02:59
Six eleven, is this part of what he was carrying? It looks like a form, not actually part of the bridge.
03:08
Yeah, negative.
03:09
This is going to be an uninvolved vehicle.
03:11
He had just stopped because he ended up driving through it.
03:16
He was waiting for the police to show up.
03:20
There was a flatbed semi in Milan sitting at the Legion.
03:29
Yeah, I passed by one semi that was southbound from that area that I was coming through town, but he didn't have his flashes on or anything.
03:36
I wasn't exactly sure what it was, but I'm guessing that's him.
03:40
Yes, 10-4.
03:42
10-4, 606 and 611.
03:45
I did have the driver stop farther into town.
03:48
He's over by the elevator.
03:51
Yeah, ten four.
03:53
The metal part of the bridge he hit is actually, I mean, it's cracked, but no giant chunks are missing.
04:00
It's whatever form he was carrying is all over the highway.
04:05
Ten four.
