Hi, three, these tolls are unable to take these vehicles at this point due to the level of water.
02:38
They're going to be left here. They're not on a public roadway. They're not created a hazardous condition.
02:44
Once the water recedes, they'll have the tow trucks come back out and try to get them.
02:48
I got to head back to the base before we are answering local.
