So far that was 319.
01:32
He's 23 at the 46. He advised the debris in cars at 15 and 147.
01:43
Is the debris south of 147 or north of 147?

03:00
319 past it.
03:02
Again, he's 23 at the 46th. I don't believe anyone is on the scene at bed.
03:09
Okay, well, that's unfortunate because it looks like there's a 1050 here that he blew by.
03:18
Go ahead and check on these cars and see if we can get anybody over the left shoulder. It looks like they struck down into the center median. Let's get traffic off at Lake Bede here.

We let the OT know that took out the exit sign here in the door.
04:10
Rocks all over the roadway. We've got to get clear before we get traffic going again.
04:16
It looks like the 1050 car is going to be up there at Lake Me or just north of, but we've got rocks all over the off ramp as well.

04:38
Are you prepared for Nevada 28th?
04:43
Yeah,
04:44
well,
04:45
following the tracks, it looks like the car left the roadway into the core and then walked down into the center medium.
04:54
Yeah, it looks like we have three cars over here. There's a car that I'm out with, the Franté's out with one, just north to me, and then there's another car north up him?
05:04
Copy. Is there any way we can get them to the right shoulder so we can open up the 15th?

Eastbound on Lake Mead off the ramp here that he believes is the one that plowed through the gore and may have initiated this.
