Somebody flipped a F-150 on his top over there around the Phelps exit.

There's one over there around the mouth of Coon Creek.
00:22
There was another know that way somewhere, and then this morning they got one, slid off the road, and you had to get a record of getting the interim out over there on that field, around that exit to go to Kemper, you know.
00:41
And,
00:42
yeah, that place is slick, buddy.
00:50
I wasn't about it.
00:53
It's old road, you can see it in the lights, but it's just a shining.
