Train derailment that killed 3 in Germany apparently was caused by landslide
BERLIN (AP) — Investigators believe a landslide, brought on by heavy rainfall, likely caused a regional train to derail in southern Germany, killing three people and injuring 41 more. More than 100 people were aboard the Deutsche Bahn train when at least two carriages derailed Sunday evening in a forested area near Riedlingen, about 158 kilometers (98 miles) west of Munich. The train's driver, another employee and a passenger were killed, police said early Monday. Some of the 41 injured were seriously hurt. Police said the downpours in the area caused a sewage shaft to overflow, likely triggering the landslide of an embankment where the derailment occurred. There was no evidence of an external influence that could have caused the derailment, police said.

Tesla camera captures video of suspects stealing safe from Woodland Hills home
Cameras on a Tesla captured the moments that two suspects allegedly took off with a safe they stole from a home in Woodland Hills on Sunday. Los Angeles police say that the burglary was reported just after 7 p.m. in the 4800 block of Canoga Avenue. The video shows two men, one wearing a black hoodie and black jeans, and the second wearing a gray sweatshirt with red pants, as they hurry away from a block of homes towards a black Mercedes-Benz. The second suspect can also be seen hauling what looks to be a safe. After they load the safe into the back of their vehicle they began to flee, but the Tesla driver followed them for a short distance, according to the driver. They said that once the suspects appeared to notice they were being followed, they performed a quick u-turn, which caused them to clip another vehicle. A neighbor who witnessed the crash said that the suspects sped from the area despite the tire being damaged in the collision. "He literally took off full speed, skidding with the tire track," said the neighbor. No injuries were reported in the incident and no arrested have been announced by police.
