One person was killed and two others injured in the rollover crash of a tanker truck on the northbound Harbor (110) Freeway at Manchester Boulevard that spilled 500 to 1,000 gallons of aviation fuel onto the roadway, the Los Angeles Fire Department said Sunday. The crash was reported at 10:55 p.m. Saturday and responding personnel found one person dead under the tanker truck, LAFD spokeswoman Margaret Stewart said. The driver of the tanker was reportedly transported to the hospital by private vehicle and had no contact with LAFD responders, she added. A 30-year-old woman was transported by paramedics to a hospital with minor injuries. Firefighters used a redwood plug to stop a leak in the tanker, where an estimated 8,000 gallons of aviation fuel remained, Stewart said. LAFD crews assisted CalTrans with laying down an absorbent to contain the fuel hazard, authorities said. Firefighters drilled four holes into the tanker to give access for the fuel offload operation, which was conducted by the owner of the truck company. Private wreckers were at the scene to upright the tank trailer and prepare it for removal. Firefighters

Harris, Trump hold dueling North Carolina rallies Trump, Harris make play for North Carolina, polls show tight race in the Tar Heel State 04:01 With such a close presidential race estimated in the battleground races , a host of factors could tip the 2024 election. We focus on two that have the potential to cause the key states to break toward Kamala Harris or Donald Trump. The first has to do with infrequent voters, and the second depends on how successful the Harris campaign is at peeling off Trump’s previous supporters. In order to see how these scenarios could play out, we tweak specific parameters in our Battleground Tracker model  that is trained on tens of thousands of survey responses collected during the campaign. The resultant estimates below illustrate a range of possibilities to be on the lookout for this week… Scenario 1: Infrequent voters show up big, driven by Trump-leaning men The swingiest segment of the electorate — and most challenging to estimate in polling — consists of infrequent voters. We define them here as registered voters who didn’t cast a ballot four years

At stake on Election Day: The reality of the presidency At stake on Election Day: The reality of the presidency 03:46 Presidential campaigns can get abstract, petty and diversionary. But the reality of the presidency hits the instant a president takes the oath. In 2009, as President Barack Obama gave his first inaugural address, he carried a secret in his jacket pocket. A terrorist threat loomed over the ceremony; if the attack took place, he was prepared to pull out evacuation instructions and read them to the nearly half-million standing before him on the National Mall. For voters who have not yet cast their vote, here’s what the president you pick will face: The next commander-in-chief will control thousands of nuclear warheads, and command troops in more than 150 countries. They will confront Russia and China — adversaries working in tandem to dismantle the international order created and nurtured by America.  Russia threatens NATO countries; China threatens Taiwan. America is pledged to protect both, and so the next president will be. In the Middle East, there are multi-headed challenges, as President Joe Biden learned. Those

Need a little help understanding the Gen Alpha kids? You’re not alone, according to a new ranking of the most Googled slang words of 2024. Our lexicon is constantly growing – Merriam Webster added 200 new words this year alone – with some already-existing words such as demure and sigma, for instance, taking on new slang meanings. But why do we feel the need to create new words with so many existing options? Lisa Morgan Johnson, an assistant professor of linguistics at BYU, believes the slang is something of a secret code that creates a sense of togetherness. What starts among a group of friends or a geographic community, for example, can create feelings of solidarity and improve communications. “Over time, they [slang words] become used by a wider public and are not necessarily associated with that group anymore,” Johnson told one interviewer. “Some of those things might die out, so you can hear somebody using slang from two years ago, and it can sound really dated sometimes, right? And other things just become part of the everyday lexicon and don’t seem like slang anymore.

Debt can be a heavy burden, and not everyone can repay their dues in their lifetime.   Nearly half of American adults expect to die in debt and worry their loved ones will inherit the balance, according to the Policygenius 2024 Financial Planning Survey. Although debt isn’t automatically forgiven when someone dies, it may go unpaid, depending on the circumstances. Money from their estate The money and properties a person leaves behind often go toward the balance. If there’s no money in a person’s estate or there is no estate, however, debts typically go unpaid, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFB). Who else might be responsible for the debt? Surviving family members, including spouses, usually aren’t responsible for paying off their loved one’s debt unless they were already legally responsible for it. Examples could include if they are a co-signer on a loan, share a joint credit card account or live in a state where the law requires spouses to pay certain kinds of debt. Some states require surviving spouses to use jointly held property to pay off their partner’s debt. Those include Arizona

One person is dead and two others injured after a crash involving a fuel tanker that shut down all lanes of the 110 Freeway in South Los Angeles Saturday night.  The crash occurred on the northbound side of the 110 between Manchester Avenue and Century Boulevard just before 10 p.m., according to preliminary information.  Around 100 gallons of jet fuel spilled onto the roadway due to the collision, which involved two other vehicles in addition to the tanker, and video obtained by KTLA shows fuel spilling out of the overturned truck, which came to rest on top of a black sedan.   Motorists were seen standing in the freeway, completely stuck, and one man who witnessed the crash said he saw the tanker suddenly swerve left while he was driving.  Southern California father killed in crash while protecting his family “I don’t know what happened, but I saw [the truck] going towards the left,” said the unidentified man. “The truck was the one that caused the entire accident…I don’t know if somebody hit him, but from what I know, the truck [swerved left].”  One person
