Those Topico fuels, we're going to have to turn around and head back here in a sec.
00:03
Still left about 120 and 3 Laredo. I won't maintain eyes on them as long as I can.
00:12
Okay.
00:15
Do you know if they need me to head on out there? My current location is near Wadsworth and Jewell Avenue.
00:26
Okay, you want me to talk to you.
00:29
Have you can check with them if they want me to head up there.
00:33
I copy.
00:38
Greg F. 44, do you copy that?
00:41
I did, and I think at this time that's a little unknown.
00:45
Where are we at jurisdiction?
00:58
Get out the leg right now.
01:01
Yeah, I got him in the mirror.
01:03
He's set up for westbound through disable.
01:08
And we're right behind him.
01:09
Ryan's right behind me. I don't know if we want to go for it or if we want to just left out.
01:15
You can do it.
01:17
Try.
01:21
I'm going to make him to turn southbound, southbound table.
01:26
That's for sure our guy is driving.
01:29
And we're not going to be able to grapple them.
01:35
If you can refuel and join us again, I'll probably use you.
01:40
He's sitting west down.
01:42
I think that's 76, is that right?
01:45
Yeah, westbound I-76.
01:47
Let's see.
01:50
He's down 76. He's found 76.
01:54
No, he's not, he's westbound I-76 from state.
01:59
For it westbound I-76, use the shoulder to pass.
02:02
Unfortunately, I lose my pilot at noon, so I don't have anyone else to fly.
02:08
Come back, I think what's a reason where that you're going to be at?
02:14
Okay.
02:19
Is it confirming west, Colton?
02:22
For westbound.
02:25
Yeah, that's my bad. Westbound 77.
02:29
Yeah, this is Colton.
02:31
Yes, he is going westbound, 76.
02:37
He just passed under Peoria.
02:39
I've still got a pretty distant eye on him.
02:46
He's caught up at some traffic right now.
02:50
For you. That's number one.
02:52
Hello.
02:54
It's caught up in some pretty decent traffic.
03:00
Everyone just confirmed he didn't take the 85 exit.
03:03
A-firm, he is still westbound, still westbound I-76.
03:12
A little blur on my screen, but pretty sure, still westbound over 96 now.
03:21
And then a load of gravel.
03:25
Copy, I do have HAZMAT in route, break.
03:28
I see a 7-member.
03:30
Yeah,
03:31
I'll be en route.
03:33
I appreciate it, thank you. I regard to me, and you cover that.
03:37
Affirm. And I'll try to get 70 back open as soon as I can.
03:42
Copy 1144. And sorry, CDOT is also the notified.
03:49
If you can let them know we're going to need a way to clean up all that gravel as well.
03:59
Oh, 24.
04:02
Okay.
04:07
Of course, I have all of his shenanigans recorded if you guys need the video.
04:12
Yeah, just send the guys.
04:20
I'm the closest, but I don't have an eye. I'm probably not a quarter mile back. I'll just start watching exits.
04:30
I'll just go set back up on the house.
04:37
Just want to go and set back up on the house.
04:41
Yeah,
04:43
he's most likely going to curve back north down on 80s, or a hundred, or I-25, so try to get back over there and we still got Tyler up there. I thought I would start floating that way.
04:58
I'll grab 270.
