Yes, I have traffic, traffic cars on the station right now. I got this car, northbound 71 at the 1 over 6. It's in a bad spot, a lot of debris in the roadway, and the other cars keep hitting the debris.

296. 296, go ahead. I didn't see any activity in or around the run address there. I copy. You can show me 26 and investigate it and leave it open for repeat. Copy. Can you see if you can locate a crash on the highway? It's going to be on East 5th Ramp getting off to northbound 71. 293, I'll take care of that. Okay.
