Jackknifed tractor trailer blocking highway lanes

Okay. I just got a call on my personal phone that there is a tractor in the ditch, jackknife blocking lanes of traffic in that 3400 block of 136. Ten four, Law Center, you're ready to come in route. Copy. Mind just helping me swing out there quick just to check for traffic and we can decide if I need two of us. Yeah, we'll. Law Center, 24, we're out. Copy. 32 from 17. It sounds like (name withheld) is pretty backed up and it's on a curve, so I'm gonna start heading that way from Elwood.
