Go ahead, bud. Hey, Colin, you were already aware of the ones that I put on flash. The one at Westerville and Sandridge was very difficult to get open. It's got some rust in it, so you might have to work with it a little bit to get it open and get it slammed closed. Okay. Copy that, I appreciate it. Then I'll check the Thorn Apple one afterwards. 50 to 64, it's back to normal cycle. And like I said, ODOT's out there. There's no reason for you to come down here and fight this traffic. Perfect, so if you want to hit the other one, that'll probably be easier.

Traffic cones are being removed, but units will remain in position until the area is clear.

S18 to all the cars on Morse Road, you can take any tape down and pick up any of your cones, but stay in position until traffic has come by and gotten all their cones. 672. 672. Yeah, for those units with those posts, just stand by until I advise to clear. I'm with ODOT to pick up all the cones, so just stand by. Copy.

ODOT is at the intersection, possibly working on the traffic lights.

64, I'll slide down there. Okay, 64, thank you. 9050 to Channel 1. 9050. I just came through Westerville and Sandbridge. ODOT's actually there at that intersection. I don't know if they're working on that light, but I think they put it on flash. Okay, can it go back to normal? I'll let them know. I don't know, it's just one south of us. We're at Morris and Westerville, and the ODOT truck's sitting there off to the side with his flashers on, so I don't know what he's doing with the light.

For cars out there, Morris, on that Morris, or Morris Road accident, did anyone put the lights at Westerville and Sandridge in flashing mode? 181, that was me. We figured that maybe freeway would be able to put them back with their keys before they took off. If not, I'll head over that way. Is anyone still in that area that can head over there to Westerville and Sandridge?
