1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: If you want to know what's happening on the local

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: political landscape, Kay Wolf has it covered on three sixty.

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 2: Every one is listening Mixed one oh four point nine.

4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: Joining us on the line right now, though, is Craig Garaway,

5
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: the manager of the Emergency Communications Center for Saint John.

6
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:17,080
Speaker 2: Good morning to you, Craig.

7
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 3: Good morning Katie.

8
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 2: How are you very well? Mate? A busy weekend by

9
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 2: the sounds of it, flat out.

10
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, look at WAT was flat out considering a lot

11
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 3: of events were canceled over the weekend, but our other

12
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 3: workload really picked up and kept our parently, it's busy

13
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 3: right across the territory.

14
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 1: And I know your crew's told us ten crashes and

15
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: eight people taken to hospital across the territory.

16
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 2: That's I mean, that is quite a large number, isn't it.

17
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 3: Well, yeah it is, but you know, it seems to

18
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 3: be the average at the moment for crashes over a weekend,

19
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 3: you know, ten to fifteen, and which is disappointing obviously

20
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 3: that we're averaging that probably on the weekend, whether they

21
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 3: be minor bengals or more serious incidents than a couple

22
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 3: of the ones that we'll talk about are a little

23
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 3: bit more serious than the Bengals.

24
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, let's go through those.

25
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: Two thirty in the morning on Gorge Road in Catherine,

26
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: a single vehicle rollover, three people involved. Two of them

27
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: had to be transported to Catherine District Hospital.

28
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 3: Yeah they did. And this obviously happened a little bit

29
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 3: out of town there, and two of the people were

30
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 3: seriously injured, but they are recovering. The third person wasn't

31
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 3: injured at all, So very lucky there. But it wasn't

32
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 3: a good start to our weekend right across the territory.

33
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 2: Two thirty in the morning. I mean, were they tourists

34
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 2: or do we?

35
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: I guess there's probably not a huge deal of information

36
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: that you can go into, but two thirty in the

37
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:45,839
Speaker 1: morning is.

38
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: Not a good time.

39
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 3: I believe they were locals, know what I understanding, as

40
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 3: they were locals, but I don't have all that information

41
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 3: in front of me. But I don't believe they were

42
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 3: in the tourists, not all.

43
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 2: Right.

44
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,919
Speaker 1: Seven thirty then in the morning on Saturday on Tiger

45
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: Brenn and drive in Pinelands, are you went off the

46
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: road and into the median strip? Yeah?

47
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 3: Look, I came across this one about nine o'clock. I

48
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 3: was a fever. The damage there, it's just as you

49
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 3: go under the fly over there on Tiger Burne Drive

50
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 3: near Palmerston, a car has gone off the road into

51
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 3: the mediumship collide with quite a large tree actually, and

52
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 3: I believe has rolled over. The information I have is

53
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 3: that the first involved was thrown out of that vehicle

54
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 3: and sustaining a number of serious injuries, and paramede, fire

55
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 3: and plaere all responded to that and obviously got into

56
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 3: the hospital in a timely fashion so he could be

57
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 3: treated appropriately at the hospital.

58
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, good, lucky, lucky that that is the case.

59
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 3: It was was thrown out of the car.

60
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, bloody hell.

61
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: I mean when you think of it like, that's pretty

62
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: that's a pretty horrific thing that's happened there. And lucky

63
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: that he is in a situation where he's now recovering in.

64
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 3: RDH yeah, lot one hundred case speed limit there, so

65
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 3: obviously you know, large impact and obviously when you've been

66
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 3: thrown out of vehicle at that speed, you're lucky that

67
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 3: you're able to get to hospital and recover. I suppose

68
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 3: probably the best way for it.

69
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: Yep, Hey, I know that there's been a lot of

70
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: tourists on the highway. There's a lot of cars around,

71
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: but lots of caravans and that kind of thing as well,

72
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: something that Saint John's pretty you know, sort of urging

73
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: people to just slow down and be patient about.

74
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

75
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 3: Look, I went down Alice the other week income on

76
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 3: the way down back and a lot of traffic on

77
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 3: the road that you said, Katie, and it does interrupt

78
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 3: your trip a fair bit. And I did notice a

79
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 3: lot of people becoming frustrated and probably taking on the

80
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 3: moves that they should never have taken on. So slow down,

81
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 3: you know, get there in one piece, and you don't

82
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 3: want to have anything bad happen to you on the way,

83
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 3: and you just need to be more patient.

84
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.

85
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: Craig Garaway from Saint John's always good to catch up

86
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:51,720

91
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. But but yeah, you know the

92
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: fact that ten crashes over the weekend, eight people taken

93
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: to hospital across the territory, and that's sort of you know,

94
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: that is something that's that's a fairly normal weekend.

95
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 2: It's a it's a concern
