Control, I got a disabled vehicle.

00:02

While it's running, it's like putt-putting along here.

00:06

I'm behind them trying to get them over to the right.

outbound Kennedy.

00:14

I think, hold on a second.

I'm going to try to get them to that big shoulder that's right after Adams over here on the right.

00:30

Could you send ETP to get them off the highway?

00:35

I'm on the right side here.

And I don't know if he's having transmission problems or whatever, but it's running like at two miles an hour.

Any descriptions on that vehicle?

newer model.
