80 to the units down there, do we want to just stop Austin Prep from dismissing right now, or at least from exiting the parking lot?
00:11
97080, so it looks like I'll be able to get people from Austin Prep down Willow Street to Lowell Street, and I believe they already did the dismissal.
00:28
Okay, if you think it will help, I can call over there and we can have one of their campus security guys come down and block the road for them.
00:36
Yeah, it will definitely help.
00:38
Yeah,
00:39
please, that would be great.
00:43
Reading, can you just make that call and see if somebody can come down and stop Austin Prep students from leaving the driveway until we get this cleared out?
00:49
Right, we'll do.
00:57
9-7, can I help anywhere?
01:04
I'm all set at the Austin Prep entrance.
01:06
I'm not sure if the deputy could use a hand, but I think Mike should be all set at the summer outside.
01:14
Receipts.
01:17
Bye, mate's running.
01:19
Five, mate.
01:21
I'm out at Summer by Willow, locked in Austin.
01:26
People can't go up toward the school.
01:29
All right.
01:35
86, Rodney.
01:38
86. All right, do we have an officer in the vicinity of Austin Prep?
01:46
Right, they're out there for a crash.
01:49
All right, I just got a second call from the dean of students reporting an additional crash right in front of the sign.
02:03
Right,
02:04
if any of you are available out there.
02:11
All right, 9-7.
02:12
I'm directing traffic right at the entrance.
02:15
No one has flagged me down or said anything.
02:18
8-7 did they give any more specific?
02:23
I told them we were handling a crash and he said, okay, because there's a crash in front of the sign.
02:29
I mean, if you're in front of the sign, you don't see one.
02:32
I'll give him a call back.
02:35
This could be...
02:36
I need to be dealt with now.
02:38
I guess you can wait.
02:41
This could be because my partner just spoke to the headmaster about directing traffic and explaining an accident, so maybe they weren't aware and they were talking the same one.
02:51
We're trying to get them to block the driveway.
02:58
8-6-3-safe.
02:59
I'll give them a call back, try to straighten up.
