Can you ask this person if it's safe to get off or is the vehicle in that bad of a shape because I don't see it down here?

00:14

Yeah, the caller doesn't know exactly where she is. She's not from the area.

00:20

She just keeps telling me that she's before the circle and right before where it splits to go to Secaucus and to the Holland panel.

00:37

We're right here with lights. Can she see me? Because, I mean,

00:43

00:51

Receive that.

00:58

Hi, North Forer, good morning.

01:21

I try my best with this young lady to get a better location.

01:25

She said she was coming off the Route 7 bridge.

01:29

She just passed the Whitpen and basically she's at the top of the rent before it splits down to up St. Paul's Avenue for the exit.

01:36

So they may still be up above rather than lower level where the Charlotte is.

01:43

I'm going to try to make my way up here.

01:46

All right, received that drop basically.

01:49

And again, you're looking for a Red Ford Escape and a black sedan that's involved in that.

Good, Fort.
