It went off the road and into a small drainage canal before hitting a fence. No word on what caused the driver to lose control. Authorities say 38 people were on the bus when it crashed, two people were seriously hurt. The others only had minor injuries. Police in petaluma are sill sitching for a driver suspected of crashing a pedestrians skull with a pipe. It started as a verbal fight when the driver nearly hit a 47 yearold man crossing the street.

On friday, a federal judge ruled that utahs ban on same sex marriage is unconstitutional. Based on the Supreme Court ruling that struck down californias proposition 8.

Because the decision is based on a United States Supreme Court precedent, i think its very likely that it will be upheld by the 10th circuit and then by the United States Supreme Court. If the judges ruling stand, utah becomes the 18th state where samesex marriage is legal. Were gonna send it over to Tara Moriarty in for sal. I heard there is a problem in redwood city.
