U.S.: Six killed after tour bus rolls over near Phoenix

  • Jesus, that looks awful. This crash, which definitely shook the riders of this bus awake, took place at 5:27 a.m. PST just south of Phoenix. Beyond the six riders killed, the other fifteen passengers were taken to local hospitals, including five with injuries so severe that they had to be transported by helicopter. Our prayers go out to the people riding on this bus. source

Culture: Tiger’s neighbor says he was “snoring,” not running from his wife

  • I saw Tiger laying on the ground. Elin was talking to him. And from that point, I immediately ran back to the house, got the phone, called 911 and ran back out of the house again to see if she needed any assistance or whatever the case was going on. … At that point, he was snoring.
  • Jarius Lavar Adams • Tiger Woods’ neighbor, who called 911 and helped the golfer after the incident. If Adams’ account is correct, Woods potentially has a case against all the gossip sites – especially TMZ – about the attack. Because that means that Woods – while he may have cheated – wasn’t being run after by his golf-club wielding wife. Unless he was sleep-running. source
