I haven't heard anything on the scanner.
00:21
Of course,
00:23
you know, you gotta be kind of paying attention.
00:27
Um,
00:29
but yeah, oh boy.
00:33
Yeah, you know, there were some crazy drivers yesterday, too.
00:39
Oh,
00:40

00:41
this guy in a motorcycle went in between,
00:46
you know,
00:48
my son's car and his other vehicle,
00:52

00:53

scared me when he went by, never heard him coming.
01:03
Um,
01:05
yeah.
01:07
Hey, I guess somebody don't like their life too much.
01:16
I can tell 84 East was closed.
01:19
There's a service truck into the light pole.
01:22
There's a landscaping truck involved. There's a motorcycle and there's a CPR on a guy on the road right now or all kinds of blood.
01:29
And there are cops going by me turning around going to us and they actually have the highway stopped. And I mean they got it shut.
01:37
Nobody's going anywhere.
01:38
And it's a mess.
01:44
Oh boy.
01:46
That's sad.
01:48
I did hear something about Life Star and two victims.
01:53
Maybe that's what they're talking about.
02:00
Who knows?
02:01
But no, that's not good.
02:03
Ah man,
02:06
that sucks.
02:10
I thought I saw a second victim there, but I couldn't tell.
02:14
And I could tell they were doing CPR, I could see them.
02:17
And I could see the guys, you know, stomach going up and down from the CPR that they were doing there.
02:22
And it looked like it was a motorcycle, there's clothes all over the road,
02:26
there's stuff all over the road, and it looks like there's at least three vehicles involved in it.
02:37
Oh man, that's sad.
02:41
Yeah,
02:43
I wrote motorcycles for a few years.
02:48
Only had one bad accident where I got a broken rip from it.
02:55
But that was it.
02:57
Just a few other scrapes and bruises.
03:01
I mean,
03:04
once was too,
03:05
one time too many.
03:09
I saw just three police cruisers on the scene,
03:13
and the fire department was headed there as I was coming by.
03:17
And 84 East is just starting to back up at right around the curve before 72 here.
03:24
So, yeah, here comes more cops flying, too. Holy mackle.
03:28
More of them headed eastbound with more ambulance and stuff too. So, yeah, that doesn't look good.
03:41
Oh, I could, yeah, I was Farmington.
03:45
Something about crews for an ambulance?
03:49
I don't know if that's related.
03:51
Um,
03:53
I haven't even heard any sirens.
03:57
You know, being right across the street from the hospital.
04:00
Public call back later.
04:04
Yeah, I was definitely in Farmington where it happened. It's in the town of Farmington on the highway.
04:09
KB180V.
04:15
Okay, well,
04:17
then I heard Ray.
04:24
The fact that there were two people laying on the road is not good.
04:33
Oh, not.
04:36
You know, one time, I don't know.
04:40
Anybody got hurt, but I'd...
04:43
A buddy taking me to stopping shop.
04:46
Over there in Wethersfield,
04:48
Maple Avenue.
04:50
And coming back, there was right across from the golf course,
04:57
or the Cars Park.
04:58
There's a split in the road there, you know, like a Y, and it was his pickup truck on its side or clothes all over the place.
05:09
And, you know,
05:11
five trucks and all that.
05:14
But what you saw was a heck of a lot worse.
05:25
Just before the Fienemann Road exit, and like I say, there was a service vehicle of some sort that was off the right side of the road and up into a pole,
05:38
a whole front end damage to it. And there was a, like a contractor, you know, like a landscaper with one of those big box trailers, stopped in the middle of the road plus another car.
05:48
So I don't know what caused it. He was trying not to gawk that much, you know. get hit in rubberneck on my side of the highway.
05:57
But, you know, our side came right down to a screeching hole, you know, for the other side. But, yeah,
06:03
hope all we're okay.
