the northbound on-ramp at the 190.
00:08
This additional accident we have at the 193, the caller advice, there are two people in any car that's been crushed by a semi.
00:16
Both are unresponsive.
00:18
One is breathing.
00:19
He's smelling gas and backing away from the car.
00:24
My job, Fargan.
00:28
This information, there was flat on the Humble, that behind me,
00:34
there's now a semi-sum media as well behind me.
00:40
It sounds like a few more crews over there and they've got the interstate set down, I just did want to commit more resources as I didn't need to.
00:57
We're going to go ahead and respond to that unresponsive at the 193.
01:03
Get for you.
01:10
Affirmative, we just made it back to the, uh,
01:13
just made it back to the ambulance, we are in route to an accident right now.
01:19
Copy that, we're on our way back to the 192,000 north.
01:27
Copy, did they have a description on vehicle?
01:33
Is he like a car versus a semi-semise crushing the car?
01:39
We've got copies.
01:47
What are you going to be, dude?
01:54
21 from 79.
01:58
Go for 21.
02:00
We've got an available rig here.
02:02
Do you need us anywhere?
02:04
If not, we can start shuttling some of these people that are stranded off the interstate.
02:11
Yeah, Rocky, if you want to try to get that clear up a little bit, if you have any additional units we were trying to get the on-ramps shut down, so no more people will be coming down, especially through the 190 to the 192 area.
02:27
It's shut down at the 192.
02:30
Nobody is coming south-down from a thousand north.
02:36
Good deal. Copy that.
02:41
I hope so because Humboldt's going the wrong way on 57 right now.
02:50
Here's at least one defeat inside of this car with a semi-accident.
02:55
Just here, where?
03:01
10-4[1].
03:06
See, gone from 20, back, work is and available.
03:17
Go out, Kevin.
03:22
Is everything shut down? Do I need to bring another unit from Charles? I don't know we're going to telephone.
03:32
We're going to a telephone. Uh,
03:39
we're going to a different accident.
03:42
Tom, we're going to a different accident.
03:55
I don't know that's a white 84 to go have everything shut down for a stormed.
04:02
I'm going to head to that.
04:05
I believe it's still 193.
04:09
Copy that rocket.
04:11
That's where we're headed to right now.
04:12
25's on their way as well and I believe a Humboldt unit.
04:19
The problem is I don't think I can get to it completely from the southbound lanes going north before they divert them off.
04:31
Report on action, Douglas County.
04:38
Rocky, yeah, if you're heading north,
04:42
on southbound, you should be able to make it.
