County, 1561. 1561. 1561. Clever in or out. Clear, 1561, this is going to be the 69-mile marker I-29 northbound. The initial call came in as a van that was pulled over with smoke or steam coming from the engine compartment. A mail was walking away from the vehicle. Now, we've gotten a second call from the 70-mile marker, while Missouri Valley and route for a mail that... has collapsed on the shoulder. We believe it to be the driver of this vehicle. He's going to be about a half a mile north of where the vehicle is. Again, the vehicle's at the 69, I-29 in our jurisdiction. Apparently he collapsed in Missouri Valley's area just to the north. I'll be advised. Claire. 1444. 161-5-9. Go ahead. Further on this incident north of where the vehicles parked, the mail possibly had a seizure. We had a citizen stop by to check on him. He came to and apparently ran into the weeds or wooded area, stating that he had a possible warrant from Idaho, I believe, Idaho or Oregon. So just be advised us. He's wearing a plaid shirt. Claire. 1448. And obviously 561 we do have ISP en route. Looks like there's a trooper just about six miles out. Claire, we'll check on the vehicle first and let us know if they're rally needs any assistance. Claire, well do 156114 for you.
