You'll need traffic control on the freeway. That's a negative. We don't need anyone else on the freeway. That's clear.

17-36, what I suggest is we're already here on the 59 main lane, so if there's other units, if you could see if they could go to the hospital and check on the conditions of these people, because I don't think we can have it moved until we're confirmed that there's no freaked out or anything like that, because we never got to see or talk to any of the people inside. They were just distracted from the vehicle, and we're stopping the ambulance here. That's clear. I have 17-43 en route. What hospital did they get transported to? I have two hospitals, Ventov and Montmorency for Manzanin.

Click2Houston has an article with a video of multiple men trying to help the passengers escape, hinting to me that there are still people alive in there. It’s a small grey sedan, I can’t tell the make or model. Sending prayers to everyone involved.
