Oregon: A trestle bridge collapsed while a freight train was crossing on Saturday, sending a railcar carrying urea into Mary’s River, according to the Portland & Western Railroad (PNWR).

Residents are asked to avoid the area.

The Garland Police Department, Texas sadly announced the death of K9 Diesel.

Early this morning, Diesel was rushed to an emergency veterinarian hospital after showing signs of discomfort. Tragically, it was discovered that cancer had spread throughout his body and his condition was rapidly declining. In an incredibly difficult decision, Diesel was allowed to pass peacefully to relieve him of his pain. Diesel served from March 2017 until his retirement just days ago on December 28, 2024.

Prayers for his partner, their family and the agency. 🙏🏽
