B3, take down a plate 4 N-G-E-33. It was just involved in the hit-run. I see if it got something on the highway. He's driving pretty crazy. The front's all smashed up if you want to let Springfield know. H-2-P-3, that cruiser, what is your cruiser number? It's 1358, so I haven't lit it up, but I'm just waiting to see if he gets on the highway to let him up. Ron, he's calm. This looks like he might be going 91 north. We're getting on 91 north. I let him up, looks like it's a failure to stop. Getting on from empty them. We're 91 north coming up to the 291 split. Reason for the stop looks like a fresh hit-and-run with front damage. I took the exit for a 291. 66 miles an hour in north traffic. I took the exit for Dwight Street. I'm going to terminate, but I'll let you know which way he goes. He took it right, I did not follow through the red light, but he's continuing down Dwight back towards downtown. Acknowledge. B3, he ran the red light. He's way far in the distance. Just let Springfield know he's going real fast. He's probably going to crash up there. He went down Dwight, I don't know which direction after that, but he's probably half a mile up there by this point.
