PM Scanner Traffic — 5/14/09

Update (to 2:52 p.m. "accident): Sgt. Christie Wood said it was strange that that information (possible fatal accident @ Hanley & Ramsey) came over the scanner because there is no accident at that intersection but it will be the location of a "mock accident" scenario at the end of this month. In that scenario, two vehicles will be involved and there will be two fatalities. Wood is looking into it and wondered if someone was practicing for the pretend accident scenario in advance for some reason.
