As discussed during the dispatch call, radio traffic concerns an interfacility medical flight request for a male patient from a hospital in Owatonna to another hospital. At least one air service reportedly declined because of instrument flight rules conditions and another due to duty time limits, with a day shift crew planning to recheck availability. Separate radio traffic briefly mentions a small blue or teal passenger car driving at a high speed and crossing the center line near a highway mile marker.
