Horse rescued after falling into a hole in Baltimore County, fire officials say
A horse was rescued Thursday morning after falling into a hole in Baltimore County, according to fire officials. Crews were called to the 133300 block of Old Hanover Road in Reisterstown for an animal rescue around 9 a.m. Once they arrived, crews learned that the horse had walked over a wooden plank, which gave way, causing the horse to fall into an 8- to 10-foot hole. The horse did not appear to be injured, officials said. The horse was sedated before it was lifted from the hole using a crane provided by a local tow company. A veterinarian was on the scene to evaluate the horse, officials said. Nearly 30 firefighters from the Baltimore County and Howard County fire departments were on scene to assist with the animal rescue. While this was a unique occurrence, Baltimore County Fire crews are familiar with high-pressure rescue situations. In July, crews responded to a construction scene in Owings Mills after a worker became trapped in a partially collapsed trench. The trench dropped a large amount of dirt on 50-year-old Luis Medrano, who died after being extracted from the hole. A similar incident in Catonsville killed two construction workers in February after a brick wall fell onto them. Baltimore County Fire crews worked for nearly seven hours to reinforce the trench to prevent dirt from caving in before they were able to remove the workers. Despite the efforts, 24-year-old Emerson Amestica and 32-year-old Wilmer Barzallo were pronounced dead.

Car found in Mississippi River near central Minnesota town could be tied to 1967 missing persons case
There may be a break in a more than half-century-old cold case after central Minnesota authorities discovered a car submerged in the Mississippi River on Wednesday. The Stearns County sheriff says someone fishing Sunday on the Mississippi River near Sartell spotted what looked like a car on their sonar. The Stearn-Benton County Sheriff's Office Dive Team searched the area and located a car in the river bottom around 10 a.m. Wednesday. Though the car was half full of sediment, the sheriff's office says the dive team was able to determine the car appeared to be from the 1960s era. The sheriff's office contacted a tow company to help remove the car, which remains in the river as of Wednesday afternoon. Authorities are investigating the possibility that the car could be connected to Roy Benn. Benn lived in Sauk Rapids, but was last seen in Sartell on Sept. 24, 1967, driving a blue 1963 Buick Electra. He allegedly had been carrying a "large sum of money" when he was last seen, according to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. Benn, who was 59 when he went missing, was declared dead in 1975. However, the case remains unsolved. There are no other missing person cases of interest in the area that authorities are aware of, officials say. The Sartell Police Department, sheriffs' offices for Benton and Stearns counties will be investigating the matter further.
