Okay, on a 32's crash, it looked like the vehicle struck a dumpster that was in the street from a dumpster company, and it's now blocking the street between Parnell and Normal.
00:16
We're going to try to get in contact with the dumpster company, but do you think you could reach out the streets and sand and see if they have, like, a whirl-off truck that could possibly do us and just get moved off to the side?
00:29
So what kind of a dumpster is it? Is it just like, I mean, like how big would you say it is?
00:37
It's one of those roll-off truck dumpsters.
00:39
I'd say it's about 20 feet and length,
00:45
probably about five feet standing tall.
00:51
And it's not on...
00:52
It's one of those assumptions that you would see use for, like, home renovations and demolition.
00:58
Okay, and it's not on any kind of wheels, right?
01:02
It's got the roll-off wheels that comes off the bed of a truck, but no real, like,
01:09
wheels, I would say.
01:12
All right, I'll call streets and stands and see if they can, I don't know what they'd be able to do, but I mean, we can always call and find out and see if they have any ideas.
01:20
We'll try it.
01:22
Okay, I mean, either way,
01:25
despite our individual running into this object,
01:29
it is bright yellow and visible.
01:30
I'm sure in the daylight people should be able to see that they can't get around it.
01:36
Okay, and it's actually blocking 70th Street, right?
01:40
Yes, it's on 70th Street, between Parnell and normal.
01:44
Okay.
01:50
Moverages.
01:56
732.
01:58
Can I please get a RD for 99, boy?
02:05
It's going to be John John (number withheld).
02:10
(number withheld) on event 01554, 11554.
02:20
730 on.
02:25
30, Adam.
02:28
I contacted the streets and stand and they said they don't have anyone that can assist with it.
02:34
They are so short stuff.
02:38
99 worth a try.
02:40
We did try to call the number on the side of it, but nobody picked up.
02:44
I'm sure they'll see the question about when they can get in.
