02:08
You may check with Pafford and tell them they can slow down their response until when they can find it.

My friends as an ambulance driver thinks it may have been an iPhone crash detection, but I...
02:33
You said you heard some people screaming, I thought, so I don't know.
02:36
Yeah, typically the iPhone crash detection thing doesn't actually call 911, it just sends in a notification.

Tenmore, you did say that the first responder came from seven north towards you, correct?
03:37
That's correct. I met them about 200 block just south of Foxpack.
03:44
And for looking back at the ping where it located is 911,
03:50
it shows the address of near North Highway 7.
03:54
So that would have been right there basically at the roundabout.

Yeah, I haven't located any vehicles or anybody.
