And just a heads up, it took about four or five minutes to extract where the female was by talking to her.
02:16
I had to get her to call 911.
02:19
She was unable to tell me what street she was on, what type of car she was in,

and she didn't know what the hazard lights were in the car.

I do have her mapping stationary, though, at the intersection provided Franklin and Shea, so just check her well-being as well.
