___ Dispatcher, 10-X-1. 10-X-1. 10-X-1. 10-X-1, can you head to the area of 468 West Street, a little bit past the speedway, heading towards town, for a motor vehicle accident with injuries. RV is on the phone saying that while he’s driving, a deer came out, hit his car. He… Right now, he says there’s no airbag deployment, but he’s leaning on the side of his head and ear. And he’s going to be in a 2005 Saturn Ion, color gray. 10-X-1. 10-X-1. ___ I’m going to search the special miles pretty quickly. Go ahead.
