[Scan-DC] Vsp trooper in 10-50, citizen using radio

Thu Sep 9 18:31:57 EDT 2010

I haven't found a RR archive yet for VSP Culpeper, but I did find the RR 
archive for the Fauquier County police/fire/rescue. The audio is bad, and 
the original dispatch appears to have been covered by another transmission, 
but at 3:58 into the 5:51 - 6:22 archive, they are working a rescue call for 
a single-car accident on Brent Town Road, which is what I heard (below) as 
the location of the trooper's 10-50. They also talk about locating a 
motorcycle in a ditch farther down the road, which is also consistent with 
the radio traffic I describe below on VSP CULP 1.

If you have a paid account on RR, you can access the archive. I believe I 
can also download the file and send it to those who are interested. The 
detail on the Fauquier system is nowhere near as much as what I heard on the 
VSP channel. However, I did learn that the trooper's injury is BLS, based on 
the Fauquier traffic.

So, this incident did indeed occur, on Brent Town Rd, in Fauquier county, on 
Friday, September 3rd, starting around 17:50. I'm not going crazy. Why would 
VSP not confirm it?
