Command 2, shut down the remaining open lanes of traffic. Alright, that's clear. Unit 18, you copy? Right now we're under wind time, we're in the first lane, I guess the back lane. We're trying, we're stuck in traffic, we're trying to get over right now. Check it.

607, just for information purposes, I know traffic cleared out. So there is an 18-wheeler overturned on I-40, somewhere between Sycamore View and when you get off to go I-40 East. So, gonna have the officers probably take Sam Cooper and then hit Summer Avenue and go to Witten to get back on the interstate. I'm not sick of Morbide, are you okay, Ryan? I'm 11.

Three lanes are blocked on the interstate east of Whitton, with only the left lane open.
