427-60-68.Chopper to radio, just FYI, traffic is now completely stopped, and it's just north of 270 southbound. It's all jammed up just north of Morris Road. I copy, chopper. And I've got a Kahani unit responding to 161 west to 270 south. They're going to 5-4 that until freeway supervisor clears them out. And excellent work.Andexcellentwork. We'll be clear for now.

Alright, Chopper, Gehanna's looking good up here, and we'll be clear, so monitoring the freeway supervisor, you can just let them know when you need them to open this up. We're 100%% diverting to 161 at this point. We do not have anybody on 161 westbound at 270 southbound, though. Chopper, if you have contact with Gehanna, tell them to stop sending people their own way on the freeway. This is completely unsafe, and they're creating a horrible situation here. I immediately notified them.
