It was northeast 3rd and north here in just a minute.
01:08
I can check for lines.

01:16
I can check for lines.

County five, we're continuing past the school.
01:21
Five. Okay, coming to a stop at Ironton Road.
01:29
County One, I'll be at Northeast Third North Street.
01:32
There is a line down.
01:35
There.
01:37
511, do we know what kind of line? I have that returned.
01:40
County 4, tonight from court route back.

779 for an Indy.
01:45
9 for an Indy.
01:52
515-211. 515-211.

Unless that thing has a super tall load, I'd imagine this was just going to be a low line.
02:02
Driver probably had no idea he hit it.
02:03
It's a thin like phone line type.
02:07
Clears it. No damage where I can let it go.
02:11
The line is snapped.
02:13
However, if he's not above the 13.
02:15
Foot or whatever, it'd be the phone company's phone crap or line too low.
02:20
Back route that they went, if it went through the city,
02:23
I believe it is.
02:24
The numerics on the back of the truck do line up.
02:27
I don't see any damage to the truck.
02:30
This is pretty lightweight.
02:33
Wire that's broke.
02:35
I wouldn't expect any damages.
02:37
This is pretty lightweight.
02:40
Wire that's broke.
