628 to 5A. Go ahead, 628. Hey, where was that crash at Freeway Zone on Zone 5? Looks like it's at 71 South and 70 East Flip. I copy. It's still, like, blocking number 2 lane or something like that?
Tow trucks may require the closure of the number two lane on the shoulder.

6-4-6. Go ahead. Hey, are we going to need to shut this entire ramp down for tow trucks or no? I shouldn't. Maybe, if anything, the number two lane that's off on the shoulder. Copy.

629, what's your traffic, sir? 29 to 46, what's your, are you guys in the number one lane? We're in the two. We don't need the lane taken. We're on the shoulder. I just wanted to let traffic see them so they don't run up on us. I got you. So you don't need everything diverted to 70 West? No, I just wanted somebody around the curve so cars don't run up on us. I got you. Cool, we're going to let number one lane traffic flow and we'll be behind you in number two.

22-23, channel 5. Go ahead, sir. I'm on my way home from special 71 south to 70 east, right under the bridge there. I think it's maybe Broad Street Bridge. There's two cars got in a five. Okay, I'll get someone out there for them. Are they blocking the roadway, sir, on southbound? The one car is facing the wrong way, but it's in the berm or off to the side. The other car just limped itself off the side of the road. There is a bunch of debris in the middle of the street there. Okay, got it.

161 and car 164. 161, go for both. Yeah, both cars until I can race freeway. I could just start out 71 southbound there at the split, maybe under the Broad Street Bridge. Got two cars at least involved, one facing the wrong way, some debris in the roadway. We're getting some calls now and on 911, but getting that same location. I should have freeway over here pretty soon. 6105, I copy. You can have me go with you. Oh, 646, okay. I'll put you out there. 769, copy. Thank you. 646, do you need more cars? If you want to keep the patrol cars on just for a little bit, I think some other freeway cars about to clear up from this mess we got, I'll do it for us. Okay. 161 and 164, if you could just go out there and assist him, please. We copy. Appreciate you. 629, I'm heading that way from 270 at 670. Thank you, sir.
