Somebody needs county roads out here. I have a large tree that's landed on top of a tractor trailer, no injuries. It is blocking the entire road, and the trees don't need to be lit off in or out of the neighborhood or down to Springbrook High School. And I do not need the county police because the road is shut down. It's very low traffic. Okay, Permanentower, 724 are you going to need a tow truck also to get the three off? A tree that landed on top of the tractor trailer. Looks like it may have crushed the cap. I don't know if he's going to be able to drive it or not once the tree is removed, but I believe county roads does take care of this road. or what equipment they have to take care of this or anybody's available today. Okay, we'll notify and also let county police make that determination on the toes. Okay, it's their discretion if they want to come out or not, but I don't believe I need them for traffic control, but they could come down here. We're not going to remain on the scene. The driver is here with his vehicle and it's not leaving, so they can speak with him when they get here.
