You call GSP and advise them of the incident that we do have here at MOK and 285.

See the 5 for 13. When they open, once they move those cones past, they take that lane over there. We'll reposition it needed just so nobody sneaks fast.
04:37
It's a proper receiver.
04:44
14 command. So it does look like they're reopening that lane number one that they had shut down.
04:52
So they're out of the way now. They've already moved all the cones. They're knocking it out pretty quick.
04:57
So it should be shut down completely after Agent (name withheld) locates over.

Very safe, thank you.
