They need us to direct all the traffic on the highway to either get off on that exit ramp to go onto 301 or onto Big Bend.

that traffic has nothing to do with where this crash is at.
00:20
That's what I was wondering.
00:23
And I specifically call three times.
00:26
Appreciate you.

20-second.
00:39
Correct, so we're going to have to go up to give and then come all the way back down to push everybody off onto this exit ramp to either get onto 301 or to come back onto Big Bend.
00:54
Just head up there just in case we need three units, but I think we could probably handle it with two.

Let me just get Calhoun to go with me.
01:02
We'll push up to Ruskin.
