102 Sam for information. Go ahead, sir. Squad, there's some bike unit over there helping the semi-truck. He was able to get unstuck from the bridge, and he's backing out, trying to get out of it. Okay, but it looks like we do need inspectors maybe to check the bridge. I will say so. I see we're going back. He was still scratching over there. Okay, we'll call back.
