And see if I can give someone on the E470 side of call and let them know, do we have a more specific direction of where?

I would say she was, she covered from Commerce City by Brighton on the toll road up there, so she must have been going west down to southbound 25, and I think she was up there on the bridge. There was a pole laying in in traffic, and she ran it over and broke both the rims.

And it just happened, and she wouldn't be able to drive very far.

So it's got to be on the elevated portion to get on this highway is where she hit the pole. And she thought maybe somebody pulled over and pulled it off the road.
