Driver Wedges Dump Truck Under Highway Overpass After Forgetting to Lower Its Bed
The latest car news, reviews, and features. A Florida man behind the wheel of a dump truck was unaware that the truck bed was raised. But don't worry, friends. An overpass reminded him. Traveling northbound on Florida State Road 285, a 54-year-old man from nearby Crestview was in for an impactful drive. Somehow oblivious to the fact that the dump bed of his truck was in the 'up' position, the raised rear hit the underside of the Interstate 10 overpass as the truck drove underneath. Or attempted to. According to WALA Fox 10 , the impact caused the bed to completely dislodge from the truck frame. The posted speed limit along that stretch is 55 mph, but it probably doesn't take much to behead something too tall for the ride. And like a beacon of idiocy, the bed remained wedged and upright in the left lane of the two northbound lanes. A Florida Highway Patrol incident report noted that the dismembered truck bed stayed stuck for 'a short while,' said WKRG News 5 . The incident occurred at 2:20 a.m. on Friday. Neither the driver nor his passenger was injured, but they're definitely a couple of lucky ducks. A similar incident last year (also in Florida) resulted in serious injuries to the driver. CDL Life reported that the dump truck veered off the highway and crashed into a wooded area. Another vehicle traveling behind was hit with the debris, but the driver was not hurt.

DigitalBridge-led group pushes forward with potential deal for WideOpenWest, sources say
NEW YORK, March 21 (Reuters) - A group including DigitalBridge (DBRG.N), opens new tab and Crestview Partners is attempting to clinch a deal to acquire WideOpenWest (WOW.N), opens new tab, in what would cap a year-long effort to take the broadband and cable services provider private, according to people familiar with the matter. The deliberations between the bidding group and WideOpenWest have progressed in recent weeks and a deal could come together in the coming weeks, if the talks don't hit a snag, the sources said, requesting anonymity as the discussions are confidential. The two sides are yet to agree on all the terms and it's possible that no deal will be signed, the sources added. The latest offer price could not be learned. In May, WideOpenWest received a non-binding offer worth about $406 million from DigitalBridge and Crestview, which currently holds a 37% stake in the company. The offer represented a 32% premium over the company's closing price on May 1. WideOpenWest's shares were trading at $4.85 on Friday, close to the offer price from the DigitalBridge-led group. On its post-earnings call in August, Chief Executive Teresa Elder said that the offer was being reviewed by a special committee of independent directors. WideOpenWest, Crestview, and DigitalBridge declined to comment. Englewood, Colorado-based WideOpenWest provides broadband and cable services to nearly 2 million residential customers and businesses in 19 states across the Midwest and Southeast, making it one of the largest cable operators in the United States. In October, the company struck a deal with lenders to raise about $200 million and restructure its debt. As of Dec. 31, the company held roughly $1.02 billion of long-term debt.

Crestview can't overcome Colonel Crawford's explosive first half in Div. VI district final
ONTARIO − In a rematch of both teams first game of the season in late-November (a Crestview 56-48 win), No. 12 Division VI ranked Colonel Crawford was just too hot for Crestview to handle on Friday night at Ontario High School in a Division VI district final. Colonel Crawford (23-1) won their 23rd straight game and were too much for Crestview (17-7) in their 61-39 district title win which Crestview never led in. Asked what their gameplan was against Colonel Crawford this time around and the answer was obvious. More: Colonel Crawford relentless in district championship win against Crestview "We knew we had to stop Holt. He can do everything," said Crestview junior guard Karter Goon. "The big guys they usually do stuff in the paint. They had two shooters. They don't really drive but we knew we had to contain Holt." Holt, as in Brayden Holt, Colonel Crawford's point guard and the Division VI District 6 Player of the Year. Like Goon touched on, everything on offense basically ran threw him and the Eagles feasted off his play. Whether he was probing his dribble into the paint area, finding his shooters on the perimeter for 3's, running the team offense at his own pace, getting inside to score off pull-up jumpers, leaners or hitting the occasional three-pointer (3 three-pointers made in game), Holt and his game-high 25 points had his hand in everything. "Holt gets in the paint and if you sink down with too many guys, he's able to pop out and find players in the corner," said Crestview head coach John Kurtz. Colonel Crawford made six 3-pointers in first half and took a 36-10 lead into halftime. "They were really hard to stop because they were able to find the open man for 3's," Goon said. "They were hitting." If struggling on defense wasn't enough for the Cougars, then the Eagles' defensive effort was evident too. While defending two-time All-Ohioan Justice Thompson, the Eagles were able to smother him on defense, as the 1,000 career point scorer had just five points in the first half and finished with 16. Off the ball, Colonel Crawford's John DeGray denied Thompson the ball often, and when he did get it, there was always a Eagles player or two there to help on drives. "It was real difficult to get him going," Kurtz said on Thompson's offensive game. "Teams have given him those different looks all season and it's been tough at times." For Crestview, winners of the Firelands Conference the past two seasons, they didn't exactly finish the season the way they wanted. They held first place in the Firelands Conference for most of the season, until a slide towards the end the year where they finished in second behind St. Paul. They came into the district tournament having dropped four of their previous five games, but did manage to get two wins by double-digits to finish as district runner-up, the deepest postseason basketball run Crestview has had in a long time. "The season, we kind of lost the wheels," said Goon. "We thought we were easily going to win the league but other teams outplayed us and we didn't come ready to play." "We had some kids out sick for some games. We bounced back and had two straight wins," said Kurtz. "Made it to district finals. Furthest this team has made it in 60 years I think. It's a milestone for us but you hate ending on a loss." jsimpson@ Twitter/X:@JamesSimpsonII This article originally appeared on Ashland Times Gazette: Crestview loss to Colonel Crawford in a Division VI district final
