He started to get out of the vehicle, and the Police Department announced over their pa for him to stay in the vehicle because it was a safe place with the ignition turned off. We waited for pg and e to clear the scene and a lot my crews to go in and safely remove him from the scene. He was transported to a local hospital with non lifethreatening injuries. This wasnt easy.

I dont want to hear anything morph you are taking the roads to your spring break destination, leave early. Because 80 is a mess right now, we are taking 80 to where we need to go. Im bracing for this traffic and more traffic as schools start to roll into their spring break schedule, it takes a good amount of people off the roads, that is something to look forward to. Absolutely, it is going to be as a matter of fact these last few days have been lighter, people are out doing their things, michael. All right. But its still busy out there.
