812. Yeah, for the two squads, the truck was able to back up thanks to everybody's help, so thank everybody and the intersection is now clear. Alright, 10-4. So he doesn't need a paper car or anything?

Is there which X-ray unit? Yeah, squad, X-ray 845. Could you let my sergeant and lieutenant know that I'm over here on Central Park assisting with the trailer backing up?

812. Yes, but I'm going to need a car at 63rd and Central Park here. We got a trailer that hit the viaduct here and the cars can't get through right now. I'm going to have to send them to any other car over here. Okay, 811 or 823, anybody in 8 can head over to Central Park, 63rd Street.
