00:14
Community (number withheld) 79th Street, Unit 301010, a street sweeper hit a parked vehicle and then took off eastbound on Elliott about one ago.
00:23
They think a vehicle may be chasing the street sweeper, possibly a dark Ford element.
00:32
7.7.7.7.47,000, copy.
00:43
Item 42. Yeah,
00:46
son listening.
00:47
It's on 4. It looks like the street paper should be crossing the 202 at Elliott right now, so head eastbound.
00:55
Yep, I'm waiting for it.
01:03
And for that 961, Henry, the victim vehicle is going to be a white Mercedes passenger car.
01:09
Looks like the RP watched it happen from this apartment at Dispatch 20.
01:13
They do not know who the victim vehicle belongs to.
01:20
Do you know if the streets you forgot on the 202 because it did not pass?
01:26
They said that it should still be headed eastbound from the 202 and Elliott, but I'm not sure.
01:31
I'll try to confirm that it did not get on the 202, it was still eastbound in the RPLOS visual.
01:44
Okay, I was at Ellsworth and Elliott when you gave me the call and I didn't see it, so I'm going to go further east.
01:58
Copy?
02:01
7-On42, can you try to locate the victim vehicle?
02:07
Uh-4-2, copy?
02:09
No, we do have a second.
02:11
All time.
02:16
What are we looking for?
02:19
Street sweeper anywhere on Elliott from the 202, just to go here.
02:27
I do have a second witness reporting the same thing that are available for contact via 21.
02:38
The white Mercedes victim vehicle should be at the dispatch 20.
02:44
Don't honor 42 that.
02:50
I'm not seeing the street sweeper east all the way to Signal Butte.
02:58
Copy-you.
03:01
Same out of 5G2-2.
03:07
Somebody was still following it?
03:10
It doesn't sound like anyone was following it, but you have two RPs about the accident.
03:18
I wonder if they just assumed she was going to the 202, you probably got on the 202.
03:24
142, can see me that 9-2-100 please.
03:28
Okay.
03:33
I'm going on 43, the QT on Elliot, it's going to be negative for that vehicle.
03:39
Okay.
03:44
The M. 42, the RP, original one said that it did occur on Elliott, so I'm not sure exactly where the Mercedes parked.
03:54
The Mercedes on Elliott right in front of the apartment complex.
03:58
Oh,
04:04
yeah, it got hit pretty bad.
04:08
Arizona 5, Lincoln, Adam,
04:10
09 Henry.
04:16
That's 3-3-3 should have expensive damage because this Mercedes van is pretty bad.
04:27
Let's switch to six to see if we had any city street sweepers on right now.
