Received. Just an update on our accident with injuries, event number 5735 for the Platte Bridge. Medics have transported three patients. None of them have any life-threatening injuries, and we're starting to get the bridge back open. Okay, received, thanks.

Yeah, everything is eastbound. Westbound, we just have the fire department over here, the vehicles. But we still have one lane open. They're able to get through. Received. 122. 122. Alright, we're trying to clear it up now. We have the three vehicles. We're going to try to get them off to the side at Wawa. We're going to have the wagons block eastbound until we get it cleared up, and then we're going to open it up. Received.
