Hey, you are going to be 1st on scene.
00:01
If the trooper doesn't need you on the actual scene, let's start shutting down the highway at the Belmont exit before the off ramp.
00:12
So just west of the overpass.
00:19
99, I'm rolling 97.
00:22
Traffic backed up at one, right at mile 188.
00:34
8929, is it a complete blockage?
00:38
Yeah, 10-4.
00:39
So far I can't really make it by.
00:45
Yeah, just do what you can.
00:46
Let's try to shut it down just west of the Belmont exit.
00:49
Break 8329.
00:51
When you get on the Belmont exit, I want you to shut down the eastbound off ramp so anybody coming from Belmont can't get on from there.
01:02
10-4. Is it going to be blocking the west or the eastbound lanes?
01:07
It's blocking westbound.
01:08
It might need to turn people around at 190 at A1 Mountain.
01:17
Four, I'm out to South Interchange.
01:18
I can stop there because it doesn't sound like I can get to Belmont.
01:27
Four, if it's westbound, let's shut it down on 190.
01:30
So just do what you can to shut it down on 190.
01:32
29, what's your 20?
01:38
DPS at the crash site.
01:42
Copy, 8329, what's your 20?
01:46
I'm getting close to A1.
01:49
10-4, do what you can to block it just before A1 mountain.
01:55
Just to the east of the A1 mountain exit.
01:58
Try to squeeze in there if you can and block that off.
02:04
At ten four, it's a little bit of a blind corner.
02:07
I might need to go a little bit further.
02:10
Yeah, whatever you think's best.
02:12
Then we're going to need another unit to block the westbound on-ramp at 190.
02:20
93, I'm heading that way.
02:21
I can block westbound at 190.
02:27
329, stay available.
02:28
I don't want all of our units tied up in this mess.
02:36
Can I get a California 2729 by Olin?
02:48
The boy (number withheld).
02:51
2729 by Olin.
03:07
Three twenty-nine.
03:11
Good.
03:13
I'm right at 190.
03:14
If you want to go east of me, closer to where 66 jumps on, and start pushing them over.
03:22
Once you do that,
03:24
I'm gonna get on the westbound off ramp or on ramp and block them from continuing going westbound.
03:35
Ten four. I'm just going to try to slow him down a little bit at 190.
03:42
190 right now.
03:44
I'm trying to direct him onto one mountain.
03:47
If you just want to go further to the east of me to kind of slow him down.
03:55
Ten four. I think I already passed him, but I can turn back around.
04:00
Yeah, ten four. I got a bunch of vehicles that just aren't paying attention to me, so.
