About a helicopter crash,

00:02

maybe an hour ago or so, something backing up the freeway.

Good evening.

Hey, go ahead, Joel.

00:20

Yeah, I'm kind of researching for info on it too.

00:22

I pulled up a live stream of the Channel 3 helicopter looking down at the site and did a quick Google search.

00:31

My impression at the moment is that a medical helicopter took off from mid-center, you know,

00:39

downtown at Stockton and here Stockton and Broadway,

00:44

and crashed onto Highway 50, I mean, literally in the lanes of highway.

00:49

50s. So I don't know which direction of 50s is that.

00:52

I don't imagine it's going to be open all night, or certainly not for a number of hours.

01:00

I'm assuming several fatalities.

01:03

I'm not sure who or how many.

01:06

Looks like a mess.

01:23

That's all I know about it myself.

01:25

But the location is eastbound 50 at 59th Street.

01:33

And thank you, yeah.

01:37

I'll go ahead, Brian.

01:42

The news live right now and that the eastbound is closed.

01:47

The westbound is moving,

01:49

but there is emergency traffic on both sides.

01:52

The east side is going to be shut down probably most of the night.

01:56

Over.
