State Patrol. Val, five Baker 11 almost up. My Baker 11, go ahead. I have an animal in the middle of the road, South Fork area. Looks like it's around front of Rainbow's Grocery. It looks like a semi-hit a black bear. The semi, I guess, hit it with the back wheels of a trailer. It did not know. I hit it and continued on, but the black bear is now in the middle of the eastbound lane. I have RP with its emergency lights on, a black coat of tundra. I'll try to help with traffic. I copy. I can hit that way. Is there a Southwark Officer available to assist? They'll be there a lot quicker than I can be. Unfortunately, they're all on call. I was going to notify RGS, see if I could get a deputy up there. Hi, copy. Yeah, you can go ahead and pass me. I'll head that way, but if RGSO can make it quicker than me, just let me know. Yes, sir, 215.
