Three dead in Kennedy Expressway crash spree
Rain and an oil slick turned parts of the Kennedy Expressway greasy, triggering five crashes involving five trucks and a bus. A lone bus driver was unhurt as it struck a guard rail. A grain truck skidded into a wall at Addison Street, oil from another truck may have leaked. A second semi hit a guard rail near Irving Park Road and veered into reversible lanes. A meat truck overturned, scattering cargo. All inbound lanes remained closed for over an hour while cleanup and sand spread.

Mobster Uses Prison Fame To Expand Narco Network
Ex mobster Gary Bowdach testifies to a Senate subcommittee that prison life fed his narcotics racket, revealing contract murders and smuggling inside Atlanta Federal Penitentiary. Bowdach, under 15 years for loansharking and firearms, has immunity for crimes since cooperating since last fall. The panel probes Atlanta penitentiary lapses as nine inmates have been slain since 1976, prompting extra protections and armed security for Bowdach’s testimony.
