Something's happening over there near,
00:02
oh, it's before 15 or 163 over there by 8 there, but do you have like 100 police cars, yellow tape everywhere, and they got the westbound 8 closed down?
00:29
Almost looks like I hit and run and the guy took off and took off running from the police and I don't know if he pulled the gun on the police here or what, but to have the whole area closed down.
00:54
Just looking at the map, I'm not seeing closures on the 8 east, but yeah, there's a whole lot of red.
01:04
From just west of the 5, there's definitely a lot of red.
01:11
Close up to Mission Valley.
01:19
Not 100% close because there's still cars going through but maybe one lane is open.
01:26
But also the side streets. I was looking to the right because they had the side street there all taped off.
01:35
And then at the last moment, I've seen all the cars, I looked at my rear room here, and I've seen like 50 police cars on 8 right there to look like a big commotion going on. So they got,
01:48
like, the whole area just about closed down.
01:52
I just pulled up flight radar, and I was looking to see if maybe there's a helicopter or something circling the area. It didn't look like it.
02:00
No,
02:01
I think the guy who did the thing, I think he got shot because over there off the side of the road where he ran over, Jripai jumped over the fence or something like there, maybe got hit by a car.
02:14
So who did that? He didn't get too far.
02:22
So are you just kind of guessing? Yes.
02:25
Yeah.
02:26
I was just going to say, Kenny, maybe this guy was carrying a load of Gideon Bibles across the street to the hotel over there.
02:33
And he dropped the bag of Gideon Bibles, and the police tried to help him. And so they shut down the roads and they could pick up the Bibles to help and bring him across the street to the hotel.
02:45
Yeah, but he closed down there to stay five, I mean eight, because there was only one lane open.
02:58
Probably an accident.
03:00
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess.
03:03
Probably an accident.
03:06
Why is the side street next to it have police cars blocking the road and a yellow tape everywhere?
03:15
Because the Asian woman in that Hyundai friggin ascent there, she cut the guy off that you didn't see. He was on a motorcycle, and he launched off the side of the freeway and landed on that side road.
03:29
He's now decapitated, okay,
03:32
and bleeding out at the same time. So he's probably not going to make it, and that's why they roped it off.
03:39
There's really a lot to head over the whole thing.
03:43
So he was on the, he was on the,
03:49
that must have been what happened.
03:51
So one half of his body went to the, went to the,
03:57
went to the, the, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, that's amazing.
04:00
That's time to be amazing.
04:01
So they got that closed, that because one of his, and the rest of his body went over to, uh, Friars Road or whatever that was.
04:08
That's. See,
04:23
it's physics.
