Unit 22, radio. 1313, sir, just be advised, we have a major accident here, 75 northbound, right before you get to the Cleveland exit. One possible 48, two cars involved, second driver take off on foot. But the driver stalled in the left lane. Witness stated that and she was outside the car and I think the second vehicle rear-ended the car and struck the victim and like I said, a possible 48. Unit 2.

John, make sure you don't respond to that. You can continue to go to the precinct. All right? I copy. He's limping, so he may be the guy. All right, just give us a description of the location where you had somebody falling on. I want you to react to it. 13-12, he should be in gray shirt and possible black sweatpants. He should be bleeding from his arm and from his ears. He's got cuts on his hands. I copy, and that wasn't him there.

96, it's a 93 radio. You said somebody walking down the highway? That's affirmative. Hispanic male, white or gray shirt, unknown color pants, that caused the accident. Also thinking that somebody may be ejected from the vehicle as well. Is there another unit to back up 1304? 1312, you can show me code 12 and show me en route. 1312, I copy. Alright, I copy that traffic. What's the location again? It's going to be 75 Northbound at Cleveland. 75 Northbound at Cleveland.
