The one accident 194 in Krause Mill,
00:03
it looks like the vehicle was a tractor-trailer that is no longer on scene.
00:09
Looks like the pipe, the exhaust pipe might have caught the wire and pulled the pole, snapped the pole, and there are wires laying over the road, so it'll be shut down until we further advise, if you want to advise the deputy.
00:28
In the Tointown.
00:29
I'm direct.
00:32
If one of you guys would rather come here and wait for the tow with this other accident, I'll put North Stone Road, I can come over there.
00:40
Your discretion.
00:43
That's right. I'll come up to you.
00:44
We have another officer here, so to be you and another officer.
00:51
Time for, can you try to get a pole number so Carol can get a VGE out there, I'm assuming.
01:02
I know you had said power lines.
01:04
The fire department's reporting that it's Verizon lines.
01:06
I just want to clarify if it's two separate things or if they're going to be the same lines.
01:12
They've already notified Verizon.
01:15
Yeah, I apologize.
01:16
It is going to be a phone line.
01:19
Okay, Verizon's been notified.
01:25
2.11, Carol.
01:27
Can you just contact county roads, or I guess it would be state highway?
01:31
I see if they can come out for traffic control.
01:34
211, 10 4, 1045.

2-11, 10-4[1], 1047.
01:49
Go ahead.
01:52
Yeah, that road's going to be shut down for a while, so if you want to,
01:55
I guess, do your thing on a post,
01:57
it's just wires down.
02:01
That's right.
02:02
I already have one up.
02:03
Is it going to be closed at the square or closer to Krause Mill?
02:10
No,
02:11
it'll probably be closer to Krause Mill.
02:15
Depends on where they want to shut it down as a sheriff's where.

Hey, Hallie.

From my understanding right now, a fire department is going to have it shut down right at Avapto going toward the Crowsmill until the sheriff's office can get here to assist us.
02:49
I'm currently shutting 194 down in Keysville.
02:56
