Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The railroad underpass on South Kollett Street Slash four Demanda
Road remains closed this morning. The closure became necessary when
a semi truck got stuck underneath the underpass yesterday morning.
The City of Lima has now closed that underpass to
allow CSX time to conduct a safety inspection of the

(00:20):
railroad bridge. The duration of the closure is undetermined. We've
learned more about a Wednesday night triple murder, suicide, and Tiffin.
Police say that a woman was removing personal items from
her home following multiple domestic issues when her husband, forty
two year old Ryan Egan arrived armed at the scene,

(00:40):
Egan fatally shot both the seven month old son he
shared with the victim and the woman's seven year old son,
before fatally shooting the woman's ex who had come to
help her move. Egan then turned the gun on himself.
Ohio House Bill two forty seven, known as Avery's Law,
has passed both the Ohio House and Senate and will

(01:00):
soon be headed to the Governor's desk. Back in June
of twenty twenty four, Avery was attacked by two pitbulls
during a playdate at a friend's house. The attack left
her in a coma and resulted in the loss of
both ears. Avery's law will increase the minimum jail time
for owners whose dogs attack from thirty days to six months.

(01:22):
The law will also grant additional authority to animal control
officers and dog wardens. Federal investigators have released a preliminary
report on the crash of the UPS flight in Louisville.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Paul Miles has more.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
The report includes still images from an airport surveillance video
showing the left engine and pylon separating from the wing
as the plane began to take off from Runway seventeen R.
A fire ignited on the engine as it flew above
the fuselage and then landed on the ground. The NTSB
reports as investigators found evidence of fatigue cracks in addition

(01:58):
to areas of overstressed failure on parts of the pylon
that attaches the engine to the wing. There were no
missed inspections or scheduled maintenance. Fourteen people were killed in
the crash, three crew members and eleven people on the ground.
A final report with a probable cause of the crash
is not expected for at least a year.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
On Pole Miles, the National Federation of Independent Business Ohio's
leading small business advocacy organization is applauding the Ohio House
for passing HB one p fifty. It will require third
parties that finance litigation to register with the Ohio Attorney
General and disclose their funding agreements.

Speaker 2 (02:37):

Speaker 1 (02:39):
Litigation is costly and time consuming, especially for small business.
They add HB one point fifty established as a common
sense framework that will increase transparency, enhance consumer protection, and
protect against foreign influence in Ohio's courts. A judge will
decide today if a man accused of setting a woman
on fire on a shop Icago train earlier this week
