268 sterling reckless driving. 68, go ahead. I believe the vehicles in between mile post 21 and 20 heading eastbound on 80. It's a truck tractor semi-trailer. I don't have much of a description. I'll get the description of the guy following him, but he's advising the semi is all over the roadway. Have war out. My caller is in a green, Chevy Silverado pickup truck pulling a 19-foot lung bolt with a tan tarp on it. He is behind a semi. So, he's able to catch him pretty quick. He's able to tell me it's a box type trailer and it's got three brake lights on the back center of the top of the trailer. That's about all he can tell me. 10 4, which is how close to 21 eastbound? Let's call it. Probably flight one landed. He just passed Mountpost 17. Airport. Airport. He just corrected himself. He is westbound. Westbound. I figured I flipped around in the other way.
