6-3-1, anybody who called a hook yet, or a couple, for this thing on 7-1?
00:07
636, I'll call her right now.
00:14
Okay, both 53-foot trailers.
00:16
One is loaded with empty, like,
00:20
models.
00:21
The other one is loaded with empty egg cart and things.
00:39
So, do is everybody that's on a traffic post back here on traffic one?
00:47
L6, I pay for him, sir.
00:52
Okay, hey, it's 6-2 radio.
00:54
Go ahead, sir.
00:56
Go ahead, sir.
00:57
If you can just check on main air with both of the zones that are involved in this, that if there's anybody that's on a traffic post out of the Turk, that they need to be on traffic one.
01:08
I copy, Jim.
01:12
S7.
01:13
S7.
01:15
I'm sorry, I might have missed it.
01:16
Is anybody been upgraded? Does everybody stay in order? Do we still have people critical?
01:24
The last I heard on the one that was critical was he was doing okay.
01:31
Thank you, ma'am.
01:33
Okay.
01:35
Do we have somebody at the hospital or going over to the hospital for that? 70 was at the hospital.
01:41
Oh, the bell.
01:43
15 is headed to Medic 24 transport.
01:53
Okay, very good.
01:54
Yeah, the main thing is going to be getting the semi-up right now to here, but we can't really start on that until we know that we can clear the scene.
02:00
So, yeah,
02:01
just make sure we check in with those officers to get the status.
02:04
And also to keep everybody up to speed,
02:06
first-year freeway has been contacted.
02:07
They are marshalling their forces, and we'll see how many people we can get in here to relief patrol.
02:16
Go ahead, sir.
02:19
Thank you, sir.
02:20
L6 and 90-20.
02:23
Good, sir.
02:25
And once he's off the freeway, if you can go a little bit further south and just work a linebacker position for anyone else that steps through.
02:34
Go ahead.
02:42
I believe 73 is the one at the hospital, the critical.
02:45
Speaking with him, he's in x-ray now.
02:47
They're hoping to hear something soon as far as an upgraded commission.
02:52
Okay. S7.
02:55
S7.
02:57
We mightn't get an officer to come to 71 southbound just north of Hudson, and we can start backing these vehicles up that are stuck under the bridge in southbound.
03:07
We're going to try to get in the wrong way and get them to take the Hudson exit.
03:12
They can then go down silver and get back on a 71 southbound as we passed the accident.
03:21
I name is (name withheld).
03:24
I'm in the big place.
03:29
Scott.
03:32
I'm...
03:37
At 602 to 604, I'm not sure about ODOT.
03:41
Radio,
03:42
do we have ODOT been notified yet?
03:45
A firm. That's 3-1.
03:47
I got a hold of them and I told him to go to 270 on the main line to start.
03:56
Yeah, that is correct.
03:58
270 main line will be your first and then 71 southbound to push them on to 270 will be second.
04:05
And I think probably patrol and freeway can handle all the ramps.
04:09
That shouldn't be a problem.
04:16
I still need to go all of a city turf.
04:18
I have not had a chance to do that yet, sir.
04:22
I can give them a phone another number right here, I'll call them.
04:26
I'll call them.
04:29
Yeah,
04:32
that'd be part of the radio network tech list.
04:34
So just go ahead and call them and see if you can get anybody answer some.
04:40
I can't have a word if we want them at.
04:47
Traffic one it will give them direction then.
04:52
I think before.
04:57
It's typically started at 161 shutdown.
05:05
They'll do the easy west ramps.
05:12
Okay.
05:15
90-20-7.
05:19
Hi.
05:21
Sir, just to make sure you want us to start backing these semis up and get them off the Hudson exit?
05:30
Hey, firm. We're going to get them off the Hudson exit and they're going to keep going south on Silver to get back on 71 South and it'll bypass the accident.
05:39
Go on.
05:46
604, I've got first ship freeway in round as well.
05:49
No mark, as they mark, just send them to ramps to relieve patrol.
06:00
We'll start with, again, we'll start with 270 and 71 up there with that interchange.
06:06
It's going to be the way to be all that freeway as possible.
