He made a game-sealing interception of Packers quarterback Jordan Love on a deep throw for receiver Samori Toure with 1 minute, 40 seconds remaining.“He threw it and I didn’t hesitate,” Locke said. “I saw the ball in the air and I was like, ‘It’s mine.’”Simmons ended up one-on-one with Toure, but had to turn and run in a trail position.

Colorado looks to re-establish passenger rail line into the mountains

Published Tue, 19 Nov 2024 04:23:46 GMT

The Colorado Department of Transportation will begin exploring the possibility of re-establishing passenger rail from Denver to Craig utilizing funds from a federal transportation package, the agency announced Monday.The $5 million study will provide data and suggest service options for this corridor, CDOT said in a news release.The 191-mile rail line would operate along the existing Union Pacific route and would pass through the towns of Steamboat Springs and Hayden, among others. Union Pacific lines already serve Winter Park ski trains from January through March and Amtrak’s California Zephyr, but implementation of a line from Denver to Craig would mark the first time since 1968 that the route would include passenger rail.“We’ve always looked at that corridor as one that would be a potential for passenger rail,” said Timothy Hoover, CDOT communications manager for Front Range passenger rail and innovative mobility. “But it’s only been in the las...

Model's death in DTLA was accidental, not murder, medical examiner says

Published Tue, 19 Nov 2024 04:23:46 GMT

The County of Los Angeles Medical Examiner has released the results of the autopsy of model Nichole Coats, and it appears to back up claims made by police that her death was unrelated to that of another model.Coats, 32, was found dead on Sept. 10 in her South Grand Avenue apartment, two days before 31-year-old model Maleesa Mooney was found in her South Figueroa Street apartment. Deaths of 2 models not related, LAPD says Mooney's death was deemed a possible homicide by the LAPD, but despite reports that Coats, who went by Nikki, was found amid a bloody scene at her home, authorities have determined her death was the result of an accidental overdose of cocaine and alcohol.About a week after the two deaths, police publicly stated that the incidents were not related, despite the women's similarities in profession and location.No arrest has been made in the killing of Mooney, who was two months pregnant at the time of her death.
