By Travis Loller | Associated PressNASHVILLE, Tenn. — Alyssa Milligan was someone who intuitively knew when another person needed help, encouragement or a kind word. Although she was new to Tennessee, the 23-year old physical therapy student, whose mother called her “Sweet Alyssa,” had already made many close connections, especially within the tight-knit cycling community around Nashville — before she was killed this month, struck by a pickup truck while cycling with a friend.Roadway deaths in the U.S. are mounting despite government test data showing vehicles have been getting safer. While the number of all car-related fatalities has trended upward over the last decade, pedestrians and cyclists have seen the sharpest rise: over 60% between 2011 and 2022.It coincides with a steep increase in sales of SUVs, pickup trucks and vans, which accounted for 78% of new U.S. vehicle sales in 2022, according to Motorintelligence.com.Current U.S. ratings only consider the safety of ...

At site of San Lorenzo house fire, cops find clandestine ketamine lab

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:45:18 GMT

SAN LORENZO — A home that caught fire here earlier this month was being used to manufacture large amounts of ketamine, according to Alameda County drug task force agents assigned to investigate the blaze.The fire occurred on Sept. 6 at a home on the 15000 block of Via Media in San Lorenzo, according to police. Inside, authorities reportedly found large flasks, sifters, bags of chemicals and other evidence indicative of a clandestine drug lab.Authorities initially weren’t sure whether they were dealing with a cannabis honey oil manufacturing facility, or something out of Breaking Bad, the TV crime drama about methamphetamine production.

Users commonly refer to it colloquially — but not accurately — as “hor...
