Yes,

sir, just wanted to notice that regarding the problem we just heard out of just a moment ago on Highway 150, the 9.
00:06
It was going to be a car versus elk. R.P. is still driving,
00:10
asking if they can do a report. Vehicles drive both sounds like there was nothing blocking and no injuries.
00:18
And do you want me to check to see if they want to do the phone report or anything like that?
00:24

Baker-Aid can handle that once he's done with the toe, if they're willing to wait.

If not, they can do a counter-report. I'm only concerned if the vehicle, or if the animal's still in the roadway.
