Hot Dog Truck Crash on Highway Makes Mess That Surprises Fire Chief: ‘Hot Dogs Are Very Slippery — I Did Not Know That'
'Once those [hot dogs] leave the truck and hit the road, that's all garbage, and it's still pretty warm,' said Shrewsbury Fire Company Chief Brad DaubermanNEED TO KNOW A multi-vehicle accident involving a tractor-trailer that was carrying thousands of hot dogs on Interstate 83 in Pennsylvania on Aug. 1 resulted in the hot dogs spilling all over the highway, according to the Shrewsbury Volunteer Fire Company State police said the tractor-trailer had an unspecified mechanical problem, which caused the accident 'I can tell you personally, hot dogs are very slippery — I did not know that,' the Shrewsbury Fire Company chief saidA multi-vehicle crash on a Pennsylvania highway turned into a frank disaster after thousands of frozen hot dogs spilled across the highway. The Shrewsbury Volunteer Fire Company shared on Facebook that they responded to a multi-vehicle accident involving a tractor-trailer, which left four people injured and tons of debris on the road. The fire crew said the incident occurred on Interstate 83, a few miles north of the Maryland line, at around 9:30 a.m. local time on Friday, Aug. 1. They stated that four people were transported to nearby hospitals after the incident, though they did not disclose their conditions. The fire crews also said that the interstate had to be 'shut down' as crews cleared the debris and vehicles. Several fire crews responded to the incident to help reroute traffic. A photo shared by Shrewsbury Volunteer Fire Company showed several crew members wearing safety vests and holding what appeared to be rakes as they headed to clean up dozens of broken boxes and hot dogs laid out on the highway. On the opposite side of the interstate, the large tractor-trailer could be seen with its left side bent outward. In the photo, the concrete divider between the roads could be seen looking damaged. The tractor-trailer that was involved in the crash reportedly was carrying thousands of hot dogs that spilled onto the roadway, per NBC News. 'I can tell you personally, hot dogs are very slippery — I did not know that,' Shrewsbury Fire Company Chief Brad Dauberman told the outlet. He added of the cleanup: 'Once those leave the truck and hit the road, that's all garbage, and it's still pretty warm.' State police told NBC News that the tractor-trailer had an unspecified mechanical problem, which led it to push into another car and scrape the interstate concrete divider. When it did this, the truck opened up and boxes of hot dogs fell out and scattered onto the highway. Dauberman said a front-end loader had to be used to scoop up the piles of hot dogs on the road and drop them into a dump truck in order to clear the highway. The highway was eventually reopened several hours later. Read the original article on People

Construction Worker and 'Loving' Father of 3 Dies After Being Buried Under Dirt at a Building Site
"No one goes to work expecting not to come home that night," police said of the tragic incident that claimed the life of Ronald Andrew Baquera TO KNOW A construction worker in Arizona has died after being buried under dirt in an open trench Emergency crews were called to a construction site in Goodyear, Ariz., on July 28, after 44-year-old Ronald Andrew Baquera Jr. became trapped six feet underground and was buried by the dirt 'The problem was, as they pulled dirt out more dirt was collapsing in, which really made this rescue almost impossible,' Goodyear Police Deputy Chief Jose Gonzalez said of the tragic incidentA construction worker in Arizona has died after being buried under dirt in an open trench. According to reports from the Arizona Republic, AZFamily and ABC 15, emergency crews were called to a construction site in Goodyear — a suburb of Phoenix located about 20 miles west of the city — on Monday, July 28, at around 1 p.m. local time. Ruben Real, a spokesperson for the Goodyear Fire Department, told ABC 15 that police, fire officials and Southwest Gas workers arrived at the site, located near Citrus and Lower Buckeye Roads, to find 44-year-old Ronald Andrew Baquera Jr., a father of three, stuck in the hole, about six feet underground. Fire crews began attempting to dig Baquera out from underneath the dirt. 'The problem was, as they pulled dirt out, more dirt was collapsing in, which really made this rescue almost impossible,' Goodyear Police Deputy Chief Jose Gonzalez told AZFamily. 'Our hearts go out to the family of the individual who's trapped, as well as to the partners who are here working with this individual." "No one goes to work expecting not to come home that night," Gonzalez added. The rescue operation was also slowed down due to crews coming close to nearby gas lines, and police said that the operation was eventually transitioned to a recovery effort. Rubicon Companies, which did not employ the worker, told the outlets that its crews assisted in the rescue operation. Crews continued digging overnight, and Baquera's body was recovered at around 2 a.m. on Tuesday, July 29. Baquera's friends and family have opened up about the loss of their loved one. Speaking with ABC 15, Melissa Prado, the mother of two of his children, described Baquera as a great father whose "hobby was his children." "My daughter is really torn up. She spends almost every day with him. She's a little distraught, and my son's angry,' Prado said. "They're not really coping too well." Nate Costly, Baquera's childhood friend who organized a vigil to honor him on Friday, Aug. 1, affectionately called the father-of-three "Ronnie," per the Republic. In an invitation to the vigil, Costly described Baquera as a "loving father and a loyal friend" who was "brutally honest, endlessly caring and unforgettable." Costly wrote that Baquera was survived by his two sons and a daughter, and his vigil was attended by more than 80 people in the local Arizona community. "He will be deeply missed," Costly said. Renisha Williams, a close family friend who said Baquera was like a brother, remembered him as a someone who lived for helping others and was 'always ready to lend a helping hand,' per the Republic.

Arizona's worker-safety agency, Arizona Division of Occupational Safety and Health (ADOSH), told ABC 15 and the Republic that it is investigating whether there were safety violations at the construction site. The agency declined to name the company that was employing the construction workers and said that the safety report could take four to five months to be completed. After the report is finished, ADOSH typically recommends citations and penalties to the state board. Prado said she and her children still have questions about what led to Baquera's accident. 'I'm sure it will come out,' she told ABC 15. 'But I don't care to know right now." Read the original article on People

New witness leads to arrests in 2003 fatal shooting tied to Arlington nightclub fight, police say
Two men have been arrested in connection with the 2003 fatal shooting of a man found in a bullet-riddled truck after an altercation at an Arlington nightclub, police said. Authorities arrested John Wayne Biddle, 52, on Thursday and Raymond Malone, 55, on Friday on murder charges. Both were taken into custody in Fort Worth and are being held at the Tarrant County Jail, according to the Arlington Police Department. Police say Terrick Rutherford was shot and killed on June 23, 2003, after being confronted by a group of men at a nightclub in the 700 block of North Watson Road. The confrontation between Rutherford and the group escalated into a fight in the nightclub parking lot. Security broke up the altercation, and Rutherford left the scene, driving northbound on North Watson Road. As he approached the traffic light at Six Flags Drive, multiple shots were fired at his vehicle. Rutherford was struck by gunfire and collided with another vehicle at the intersection. A relative, following in a separate car, witnessed the shooting, police said. Later, officers responded to the intersection of Randol Mill Road and Web Street, where they found Rutherford in a pickup truck riddled with bullet holes. His relative had attempted to drive him to the hospital. Rutherford was unresponsive and suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was transported to a nearby hospital, where he was later pronounced dead, according to police. Malone and Biddle, identified by police as documented gang members, were named as suspects at the time but weren't charged due to a lack of evidence. Both were previously arrested for engaging in organized criminal activity but were later "no billed," meaning a grand jury declined to indict them on the charges, police said. According to police, a new witness came forward in July with information that aligned with the original investigation. Detectives re-interviewed witnesses from the 2003 case and corroborated the new details. After consulting with the Tarrant County District Attorney's Office, investigators obtained murder warrants for Malone and Biddle. "When someone does the right thing and comes forward with information, that can be the difference between solving a case and it remaining unsolved," Arlington Police Chief Al Jones said in a news release. "I'm grateful these new details came to light. I'm proud of our current detectives for tenaciously pursuing these new leads and following up on the outstanding investigation the original detectives did on this case to put two suspected killers behind bars." Members of the U.S. Marshals North Texas Fugitive Task Force participated in the arrests of the two men.
