I'm going to be blocking off probably the first two lanes, inside lanes, of E-501. He did get the driver out. Driver is out and he's on the opposite side of the Interfa. 47. I'm going to be in route. I'm about three, four miles away from St. Leisure, there's a major accident on high 30 wetbound. I believe it's going to be between somewhere around the 5, or 5 to the 3, put the cars on fire. I see the smoke. I'm in route. 47. 24, 14, 14, 40. It's going to be right there before State Line, where that accident occurred yesterday. Okay, ten-four, look beneath the field on fire because I'm passing the nine and it looks like it's just right. Ten-four, I can view it on the R not camera. It's just west of the one-mile marker, just west of Jefferson exit. Ten-four. Forty-eight, eleven, little ground. Eleven. I'm about a 27 mile worker now. He's still not stopping.
