He's in very bad shape, head injury.
00:06
I'll call that in because they may want to auto-lift for that.
00:14
Say he went out,
00:16
he got him a little bit responsive again.
00:21
Do you by chance have a crossroad?
00:25
Oh,
00:27
I am out in the middle of nowhere, like I say, I'm on Highway 7.
00:31
I'm not familiar with the area.
00:33
All I know they're by the creek.
00:36
It's guardrail, flipped.
00:39
It's bad.
00:45
If I can see maybe any more else, KB9 can you.
00:55
So I'll let's carry on, I'm pulling into my stop here.
00:58
So that'll be a zero-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a.
01:02
All right.
01:07
Jeff,
01:10
I think sometimes
01:12
People don't forget years ago, this is the kind of stuff that happened from time to time on the radio.
01:17
Someone would call something.
01:18
I had a couple times or twice.
01:23
Too many cases people have, so they're having a diabetic coma, I'd call ambulance form before his cell phone error, you know.
01:31
So you don't hear that happen too much anymore.
01:37
All right, yes, KB9TQJ.
01:40
Is the roadway blocked?
01:42
I can answer that.
01:48
It's not blocked.
01:49
He went back to see if you can help the patient somewhere there, but it's not blocked.
01:53
It's overturned it off the roadway.
01:55
Struck a guardrail, flipped over the top of it and off the road.
02:05
All righty, they've been updated on the situation there.
02:15
The aim of the star is always appreciate having as much information as they can before they get there.
02:20
So I'm sure they'll appreciate getting an update on his status.
02:25
Maybe they'll expedite a little more if they aren't already.
02:32
Just cleared he made it to his destination there.
02:36
Yeah,
02:39
I heard, and I'm not sure how Pulaski does it, but I know if it's CMH, Mercy, or Cox, they would have auto-lifted because of the unknown situation,
02:49
so they would have probably auto-lifted a bird.
