lil’ wreck

I responded to a little reck out in the country recently. The scanner said that a woman drove her car into a river. I called dispatch to get the location (I missed the original transmission) but she shut me down, saying that they don’t divulge that information. Three seconds later, and Oregon State Police trooper radioed, “where was that crash on Highway 42 South?” Dispatch told him to 12-4, which is radio speak for “give me a call on your cell.” She knew I was listening, but it was too late, the trooper inadvertently gave me the info I needed.
