00:13
It's UTL[1] so far.
00:18
All right, you're going to have to go towards Savage,
00:24
turn at, well, you're going to have to turn at where 13 goes south,
00:30
and then come back that way.
00:34
Copy, that's what I did.
00:36
You mean follow 101 down to Savage, right? Not 169.
00:42
Yeah, you're gonna have to go on to 101, go to where 13 goes south,
00:48
and then turn around there and go back to head, back to 101 north.
00:57
Correct,
00:58
and that's the route I just ran in.

It was UTL[1], but I'll do it again.

Looks like we got something that's going to be at the end of the ramp.

03:43
and then go down to the next turnaround and come back.

Copy, I'm flipping here at Stagecoach, so I can...
03:50
Now I'm east on 101,
03:53
and I'm going to go under...
03:54
There was a northbound 169 ramp that I went on, but I'm going to go past that and then come back.

Copy that. Apparently injuries are on the one directly to your right.
04:45
Dead for it.
04:46
And then if you want to let patrol know, I don't see who's assigned to it.

If they want to just go to the ones on 94.
04:56
Yeah, multiple is going 3-28 and 471 are both assigned to it.
