Okay, we're just getting ready to crossover here at L.A.
00:42
Report, and I'll check you on the trooper when they come all ready.
00:46
Trevor, thank you.
00:57
Good thing, we're coming overhead, I'm just here.
01:02
Yeah,
01:04
so where are my car? Anything? You want to head just west of you? Just kind of go up and down where 51st is at and then come back down.
01:12
But it's so dark, I don't know if I saw anybody or if anybody's around.
01:17
Okay, did you hold the editor? Was it a call for service?
01:22
It's a call for service, but that agent is pretty hot.
01:27
You get a car that's down by my car.
01:29
It's pretty warm to the truck.
01:31
It's freshly new.
01:35
Okay, how long, what's the time from looking at from what the call for service came in? I know what he came on.
01:41
I'm trying to see how far west I want to go.
01:47
I'm still trying to hold whoever's in the car, so I wouldn't say no more than maybe 10, 15 minutes.
01:53
It was pretty quick, although I'm seeing pretty quick.
01:59
Okay, I got your vehicle, I have you.
02:03
So I just, like I said, not to waste so much time to do the complaint or anybody that's called this have any direction to travel for this day.
02:12
No, I thought I saw somebody when I was coming up when I got off the center gene.
02:17
But I thought it was my life reflecting on one of the cones.
02:20
But it probably was somebody.
02:22
But if you see that car, I don't know if they went towards 17 or if you went back towards the chip like, you know what I mean.
02:28
Yep,
02:29
I got you, did you clear the vehicle, make sure there's no one else with that going on.
02:34
Yeah, I have to be clear.
02:36
Whoever was driving got lucky, but yeah, I don't know.
02:40
Clear.
02:42
Okay, the vehicle is clear and you don't know if you want east or west from the wreck here.
02:46
So, okay, I'll start checking for you.
02:47
I'll call it anything that's suspicious.
02:52
I appreciate you, brother, thank you.
02:54
If you any time out there, let me know because I'm out of decry...
02:59
Head onwards, man, and the DPS dispatch if you get any calls for service and people walk along the freeway, please let me know.
