The crash happened in the Elm Square area of Andover back in May. Olson’s parents spoke to 7NEWS on Friday, remembering their daughter and discussing their efforts to prevent similar tragedies. “I want Sidney’s life to really have meaning and for us, we think about her every day,” said Sidney’s mother, Mary Beth Ellis. “She’s in our hearts every day.” “I miss her hug attacks,” said Sidney’s father, Eric Olson. “She would just jump up and wrap around me and I would do anything for that.”Sidney’s parents have created a charity in her honor.

LUCKNOW, India (AP) — Forty workers were trapped in a collapsed road tunnel in northern India for a seventh day Saturday as rescuers waited for a new machine to drill through the rubble so they could crawl to their freedom. On Friday, the drilling was interrupted when some machine bearings became damaged by the breaking of rocks and clearing of debris, officials said, adding a new challenge to the long-drawn rescue efforts. A new machine was expected to reach the accident site later Saturday, allowing rescuers to start drilling again, said Vijay Singh, an officer at the control room. Authorities began drilling into the rubble and debris on Thursday and have so far covered a stretch of 24 meters (79 feet), said Devendra Patwal, a disaster management official, said. It may require up to 60 meters (197 feet) to enable the trapped workers’ escape, Patwal told The Associated Press on Friday.Earlier, the rescuers had hoped to complete the drilling by Friday night and create an escap...No. 3 Westlake builds big halftime lead, advances to third round with 45-28 win over SA Reagan

Ryan Bischel has put up amazing numbers in the net for Notre Dame in nearly every place he has played over the past four-plus seasons. But even he admits there is something special about stopping pucks and winning games in his home state.Before the Fighting Irish came to Minneapolis for a weekend series versus Minnesota, their coach reminded Bischel, who is from Medina, Minn., that the two games would likely be his final opportunities to win games at 3M Arena at Mariucci. On Friday, Bischel didn’t let that opportunity pass him by.“It’s a ton of fun coming into this building, for sure,” said Bischel, who had 33 saves in Notre Dame’s 4-2 win over the Gophers on Friday in the opener of their Big Ten series. “The D did a good job of letting me see the puck and things are coming together offensively. It helps when we’re scoring goals.”The graduate-student goalie, who was named the Big Ten’s first star of the week, helped Notre Dame come from behind to extend its unbeaten streak to seven ...The Loop Fantasy Football Update Week 11: Don’t dither replacing injured Burrow or Andrews

UPDATE: 10:17 p.m. FridayMany fantasy mavens were shaken Thursday night when two top players saw their seasons come to a sudden end.Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow (wrist) and Baltimore tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) are finished for 2023. Sharp fantasy players will move immediately to find waiver replacements and not wait for next week’s pickups. This would also be a good time to pick at the carcasses of rival teams that may have given up on the season.There’s some news regarding running backs. Houston’s Dameon Pierce is out again, so Devin Singletary is definitely worth grabbing if you can. And Miami rookie sensation De’Von Achane is expected to return this week and could be running at full speed through the Las Vegas defense.ORIGINAL POST: 11:59 a.m. WednesdayIt’s often been said that fantasy football bears only the faintest resemblance to actual football, and that success in one does not necessarily mean certain success in the other.Case in point: Buffalo quarterback Josh Alle...High School Football State Semifinal Roundup: Edina dominates Eden Prairie in 6A stunner
