Ladder 12 City.
00:41
The caller was just driving on the parks eastbound and she said westbound just near that geist intersection.
00:48
There's the vehicle rollover. She didn't witness the rollover but did see some commotion.
00:53
She saw a glow. She wasn't sure if it was from fire or from lights.
00:59
Initially, she said fire.
01:02
Fire, cool, copy stuff, thank you.
01:04
10-4[1], and we did receive several other calls on this, however, no one stopped. So I don't know how many occupants if anyone was thrown or if anybody's trapped.
01:13
And troopers are aware of the information.
01:16
Copy on.
01:18
City X11, then route.
01:20
Copy engine 11.
01:23
The 711 copies all information in route.
01:33
City was time.
01:35
Go ahead.
01:40
Just to clarify, they were not able to confirm if they had driven past Geist Road or was it before Geist Road if they were heading eastbound?
01:49
My caller was heading eastbound. This other vehicle was heading westbound and so it was near the overpass and Geist.
01:57
We're not able to tell you what side of the overpassing, guys?
02:18
The one caller didn't advise.
02:21
My caller, I believe, said between, or on the anchorage side of the intersection for the overpass.
02:29
A copy, Anchor's side.
02:32
The guy I love from Light as well.
02:35
Go ahead.
02:43
We're getting off the geist now.
02:45
I think we may have passed it.
02:48
So we might want to, we're going to flip around if we don't see nothing and head back towards the university have.
02:55
Copy. Medic 12, was that you heading south on the parks?
03:00
That was that 12?
03:05
We didn't see anything.
03:13
Ladder, was that you that just drove south of Geist?
03:22
Ladder, we just came under the overpass,
03:26
we're getting back on Mitch.
03:32
Copy, whereabouts do you think you saw this?
03:37
There was a car just on the bridge on the side here going on with their flashers on.
03:42
It was directly across from that.
03:46
Understood, thank you.
03:52
Yeah, I just cough the river, don't see any vehicles.
04:00
Battalion 11 is up ahead.
04:07
Battalion 11, Mediq 12.
04:11
Allian, it's pullover and stage on the side of the road until we can determine exactly where this is and watch out for debris.
04:21
The Battalion 11 is in the air and make contact with the vehicle that's pulled over.
04:26
Not four.
04:32
Matti 11, Live 12, we're going to go check out this vehicle.
04:37
If you pull forward, we can get a U-turn in there with the engine.
04:46
The individual I'm talking with says it's over towards you. I think that's one of the medics on the side of the road.
04:57
Command Medical is 12. There's currently...
05:04
I copy no one inside the vehicle.
05:08
All units, let's consolidate, we're creating some hazards where we're parked.
05:16
Medic 11, is that you behind me?
05:21
Hey, for my medicine.
05:27
Okay, there's an individual in the vehicle in front of me that was involved.
05:33
Let's go ahead and assess him,
05:35
please.
05:36
Medical 11 are in copy.
05:42
The Italian 11, 11,
05:45
go ahead. Italian 11, go ahead.
05:56
Yeah,
05:57
I don't think there's a need for Medic 11 or Edge 11 over here by this car. You want us just clear?
06:06
We've got Medical 11 here with one subject that we have found in another vehicle that appears to have been involved.
06:12
You're saying that the vehicle you have over there has nobody in it?
06:17
Correct. No one in it. All glass is intact, no ejection.
06:20
And my bad, we have Medic 12 over here and we could all clear and get out of the way.
06:25
If you're confident, we don't have any patience in that area, yeah, let's go ahead and get you off the road and clear.
06:32
Yeah, if the car, unless they walked out, we'll clear.
06:38
UAF units, are you near an AS,
06:40
UAF units, are you near a trooper out there with this car?
06:44
A-Firm, we are right next to a trooper.
06:46
Ten-four. It sounds like he said there's some burning smell going on.
06:54
No, we have an airbag deployment. I think that's what the smell is coming from.
06:58
10-4[1]. And so you are medic 12?
07:02
This is 1911.
