Non-injury crash blocks northbound lane at Hoback Junction.

Ignoring the hook suggestion — this task involves no hardware and no shell tool is available here; it's a plain transcript-to-brief job. Also noting the transcript already provides everything needed, so no tool calls are required. Here is the brief:

Two-vehicle crash briefly blocks northbound US-89/191 at Hoback Junction; fire crews clear scene, no injuries

Top stories

  • Non-injury crash blocks northbound lane at Hoback Junction. At 15:08 dispatch reported a white Ford truck vs. white Jeep Cherokee collision at the junction, both vehicles leaking fluids, the truck blocking the northbound lane. Engines 31 and 71 were paged at 15:09 (TG 1807); Engine 71 was stood down at 15:21, a trooper was on scene by 15:22, and all fire personnel cleared by 15:31. Sheriff's units and WHP coordinated the report handoff.
  • Woman found unresponsive at Whole Foods. At 17:22 Medic 10 and Engine 11 were paged to the Whole Foods on South US-89 for a woman, roughly 20, found face-down and not responding. By 17:26 she was conscious but "not responding normally"; the call was upgraded to a delta response. No transport was explicitly logged for this call.
  • Possible heart attack on Powderhorn Lane; crews briefly couldn't reach the patient. At 17:40 Medic 10/Engine 11 responded for a 45-year-old man with chest symptoms and a diabetic history. Crews initially couldn't locate the apartment — dispatch relayed at 17:46 that the caller could hear them banging on his door — before making patient contact; at 17:59 MD-1 reported one patient transported emergent to St. John's.
  • Possible rolling domestic on Highway 22. At 17:46 a tan GMC Sierra westbound from Wilson was reported swerving with a passenger hanging out the window yelling at passing cars; the 17:51 mutual-aid rebroadcast (TG 113) flagged it as a possible rolling domestic with dogs in the vehicle. WYDOT units asked about further calls at 18:06; no contact or stop appears in the log.
  • Deer struck and killed on South US-89. At 18:22 dispatch broadcast that a white SUV struck and killed a deer near mile marker 145, with the carcass in the southbound lane; at 18:30 the county was asked to take the collision report from WHP.
  • Statewide officer-safety BOLO (not Teton traffic). At 22:14 WHP's statewide channel (TG 109) broadcast an officer-safety bulletin for Sweetwater/Uinta counties about a man who reportedly threatened to shoot any law enforcement he contacts and was said to be planning a mass shooting; no vehicle description. Included for awareness — this is not a Teton County incident.

Also on the air

A busy but routine Sunday: 38 medical exchanges (many of them Fremont County pages — see caveats), including a lethargic 75-year-old with diabetic issues on East KDC Lane at 07:31 and a 74-year-old who fainted in an apartment above Sidewinders on West Broadway at 09:16, both handled by Medic 10/Engine 11. Roughly two dozen records checks and 27 plate checks, with evening traffic stops mostly ending in verbal warnings (stop sign, speed, cell phone). Six alarm calls — four residential, one commercial, one panic — all resolved as false or secure. Two hot-car dog complaints (13:10 West Simpson, two dogs "in distress"; 14:38 Home Ranch lot), cows on Highway 390 in fog at 09:41, a stolen-bike cold report, two destruction-of-property reports, an illegal-camping check at Powderhorn Park (no violation found), and a trespass report at the middle school. Transit chatter included a school bus limping home in first gear with a transmission warning, a bus with a cooling glitch (closed heater valves), and a kindergartner's missed stop resolved by a relative. One person was booked into jail just before 01:00 after a late-night records check.

By the numbers

  • 1,893 transmissions across 626 exchanges (329 short status-only exchanges omitted from the log).
  • Busiest talkgroup: TG 1801 Teton County law dispatch, 1,158 transmissions.
  • Busiest hour: 17:00–18:00 with 234 transmissions; a broad afternoon peak from 14:00 on.
  • Categories: medical 38, plate-check 27, records-check 22, traffic-complaint 17, transit 12, crash 9, alarm 6, fire 5, animal 5, traffic-stop 4, welfare 2, suspicious 2, noise/parking 2, hazard 1 — plus 217 status and 257 unclassified.

Caveats

  • Out-of-county traffic mixed in: TG 13751 (59 transmissions) is Fremont County EMS paging — Lander/Riverton/Shoshone medical calls and a late-night injury accident at Clothesline/Marlatt Road are not Teton events. TG 109 is statewide WHP (mostly I-80/Rock Springs complaints), and TG 113 carried Riverton and Dubois broadcasts. These inflate the medical, crash and traffic-complaint counts.
  • Transcription quality: Whisper garbled many unit numbers, plate letters and street names; lines marked [suspect] are low-confidence. Plate and name details are deliberately excluded here, and some outcomes (e.g., whether the Whole Foods patient was transported) are ambiguous in the transcript.
  • Coverage gaps: very light traffic 01:00–06:00 (3–14 transmissions/hour), so overnight activity may be under-captured; TG 1812 is unidentified but its content reads as school-bus/transit operations.
