Abortion restrictions prompt international activists to provide care in America

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Across the nation, women's access to reproductive care has been protested, shuttered, legislated and sometimes strictly limited. So much so that an international organization has stepped in to provide abortion consultations and medications to women who face high barriers to care.

AidAccess was recently founded by Dutch doctor Rebecca Gomperts to provide American women with access to abortion medication. The contentious program operates online, and offers women consultations and mail-delivered abortion medication.

The legality of AidAccess is still undefined. The FDA has said it is investigating the program for any potential legal violations. Currently, the administration mandates that mifepristone, one of the two drugs necessary for a successful medical abortion, must be sold through a tightly-controlled distribution channel.

The Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) employed by the FDA on mifepristone bars the sale of the drug online or through retail pharmacies. Advocates for abortion access argue that REMS is typically used for drugs much more dangerous than abortion pills.

Studies on the abortion pill cocktail found that it was overwhelmingly effective and exceedingly safe. A 2017 study published in the Obstetrics and Gynecology medical journal found that of over 8,700 patients who obtained abortion pills through telemedicine services, only .18 percent of them had any complications - none of which resulted in death or even surgery.

Women in the United States have had trouble accessing telemedicine abortion services that competently meet their care needs. Abigail Aiken, an assistant professor at the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin, studied online abortion options.

"If you have money and resources, you can access these medications. If you're a poor woman, you can't."

Aiken's work found that many online options either can't sell the medication online, or if they do, are woefully short on instructions and information. She said women turn to online options for a variety of reasons. Some prefer their privacy, others don't have access to clinics, and some face financial and logistic limitations to meeting their state's requirements for a legal abortion.

"From a public health perspective, there is a harm-reduction justification for helping people to avoid resorting to ineffective or unsafe abortion methods," she wrote in the study.

Particularly at risk for unsafe self-managed abortions are economically and geographically marginalized women. In this sense, she said she has noticed parallels between her research on abortion access in Ireland and in the United States.

"The actual options available to people in the two countries are strikingly similar," Aikens said. "That problem of access continues."

She said the country is effectively living in a post-Roe v. Wade world, where access to abortion care is severely limited for women in much of the country and varies greatly from state to state.

Aiken sees parallels for women in rural Texas or Ireland. She said obtaining a safe abortion in both places often means traveling hours to a clinic and paying hundreds of dollars out-of-pocket. Texas state law doesn't allow the use of Medicaid or other public funds to pay for an abortion. A 35-year ban on the procedure was recently overturned by a national referendum in Ireland, and before that, women had to leave the country to terminate an unwanted pregnancy.

This gap in access and affordability is what Gomperts and her multiple abortion care services aim to fill. In the United States, women can obtain consultation and, after a screening process, abortion medication for just $95.

Gomperts could not be reached for comment, but she detailed her new efforts in a recent story in The Atlantic, which reported AidAccess had already served some 600 American women.

Gomperts' first foray into medical care activism came nearly two decades ago. In 1999, she founded Women on Waves, which sailed international waters on a Greenpeace ship providing women with access to reproductive care, abortion education and services - all while skirting local laws.

That venture pushed Gomperts to found Women on Web, an online service for women seeking abortion medication nearly anywhere on the planet - except the United States. The Dutch doctor worried that serving American patients through Women on Web would jeopardize the entire operation. Instead of taking the risk, she started AidAccess.

Aiken said Gomperts' organizations provide women with the correct doses, proper instructions, warnings and appropriate after-care procedures to safely self-manage their abortions at home.

Of course, not everyone is satisfied with the efforts. Eric Scheidler, the executive director of the Pro-Life Action League, said the program poses problems for women.

"Telemedicine abortions are kind of more sinister in some ways," Scheidler said. "They make every location in the world effectively an abortion scene."

His organization, which primarily focuses its efforts on "public square" advocacy, is staunchly opposed to any kind of abortion. He took issue with arguments that AidAccess helps with issues of the accessibility and affordability of reproductive care.

"I don't see this falling under the same banner of making healthcare more affordable, because having an abortion isn't healthcare," he said.

Aiken's research shows that the reasons for women seeking a self-managed medical abortion are as myriad as the women themselves. Beyond their choices, she said programs like AidAccess provide an unmistakable benefit for marginalized women who have trouble overcoming the barriers to access.

"If you have money and resources, you can access these medications," Aiken said. "If you're a poor woman, you can't. ... AidAccess is trying to provide a way for women to do this at home."

Records: Delaware man killed grandma to be alone, get high

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Court records say a Delaware man told police he strangled his 69-year-old grandmother because he saw an opportunity to be alone and get high.

The News Journal of Delaware reports 30-year-old George A. Bailey III was charged Monday with first-degree murder. Court records say police found Lorraine Bradley dead Saturday, more than a week after she died. She was found fully-clothed, lying face down on a bed with her purse.

An autopsy determined she was strangled. Police then questioned Bailey, who had been living with Bradley since he was released from jail for theft. He told police they were heading to a probation check-in when Bradley tripped and he strangled her. He said he saw a chance to be alone and get high.

It's unclear if Bailey has a lawyer.

A teenage boy in a clown mask scaring students was caught by the school principal.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Halloween came early this week when a juvenile in a clown mask and hoodie frightened middle school students in a Denver-area neighborhood before being caught Tuesday, ending the boy's reign of clowning around.

The unidentified boy chased students walking home from Horizon Middle School in Aurora on Monday, FOX 31 Denver reported. The Aurora Police Department issued a tweet Tuesday warning of the prankster.

"This sort of harassment will not be tolerated," the department tweeted.

A short while after the police warning, the clown-masked boy returned to the same intersection for a second round of scares. This time the school's principal and a security staffer were ready and caught the boy, a school spokeswoman told the Denver Post.

The juvenile was turned over to police, who reportedly gave the boy a ride home.

Police said that while the juvenile won't be charged, they told him his clown act was canceled, Denver's KMGH-TV reported.

Meanwhile, the city of Oak Park, Mich., this week reversed a ban on clown costumes from its Halloween festivities after community backlash, FOX 2 Detroit reported.

Recreation Director Laurie Stasiak told the Oakland County Times the ban was proposed because many clown costumes have a "very scary and evil look," affecting people with clown phobias and anxiety.

"About three years [ago] there were national incidents in the news where people were dressing up as clowns and scaring people and in some cases assaulting them. ... It's because of this that we asked people not to dress up as clowns for this community event," she said.

PHOENIX - An Arizona animal shelter is once again trying to find a home for a dog they say was returned ... for being too well-behaved.

The Arizona Animal Welfare League & SPCA said "Binx," a 1-year-old male dog, was returned "because the dog was considered by its erstwhile new owner as being 'too good.'"

"No Seriously! I was adopted and returned within 48 hours, with notes saying I'm potty trained, good with kids, fun to play with, and good with dogs in the home!" the shelter posted on Facebook. "They decided they wanted more of a challenge."

Many commented to ask if Binx was still available, while others were outraged that the pup had been dropped back at the shelter.

"Hopefully you didn't let those ridiculous adopters get another dog," one woman wrote.

"It boggles my mind how people take pet adoption so flippantly!" another posted. "A pet is a living breathing thing, not a disposable item."

For more information about Binx, see the Arizona Animal Welfare League & SPCA website.

BOSTON -- You would be hard-pressed to create a more alluring World Series Game 1 pitching matchup than Chris Sale versus Clayton Kershaw. You might also be hard-pressed to understand why, as the game unfolded, the pedigrees of the starting pitchers felt so irrelevant.

A slow double-play turn here. A missed pop-up there. They might not seem that big on their own, but add these miscues up and they're why L.A. is in an early World Series hole.

Powered by Andrew Benintendi's four-hit night and Eduardo Nunez's pinch-hit blast, Boston burned L.A. in the World Series opener.

From the wild-card round through the World Series, we'll have the 2018 postseason covered.

Neither starter was wholly responsible for the game's outcome, an 8-4 Red Sox win over the Dodgers. L.A fans, after watching Boston roll up its run total, might experience some queasy flashbacks to last year's seven-game loss in the World Series to the potent Houston Astros. Sale labored through four innings as the velocity on his fastball degraded with each passing inning. He was effective enough, allowing just two runs, but he failed to get an out in the fifth.

That also true for Kershaw, who was getting by for the most part while struggling with his command. He didn't get much help from his defense, making his final line -- five runs allowed in four innings -- uglier than it might have been. As ugly as the Boston weather on a cold, wet night. Not that that was what plagued Kershaw.

"I didn't pitch very well, but I don't think the weather had anything to do with it," Kershaw said.

No, neither ace carried their team in Game 1, yet we still had a one-run game in the seventh that was very much in doubt. The course of the game said as much about the Red Sox and Dodgers as a whole as it did about anything Sale and Kershaw did. These are two teams that utilize their full rosters and, for all the high-dollar stars in the matchup, the team that wins any given game is likely going to be the one that gets positive contributions from every facet of the club. On Tuesday, that team was Boston.

"They are going to be a hard team to beat," Kershaw said about the Red Sox. "They do a great job all the way around. They hit homers, get balls in play for singles, doubles, stolen bases. All sorts of things."

That's not as sexy as Kershaw and Sale going the distance, combining for about 30 strikeouts and throttling each other's lineup. Baseball, circa 2018, rarely works that way anyhow, but it's especially not how Boston and Los Angeles operate. Yes, big-name players on both teams put up numbers. Manny Machado drove in three runs for L.A. Justin Turner had a big night. For Boston, Andrew Benintendi had a career night, becoming the third Boston player to have a four-hit game in the World Series. Mookie Betts got things started. J.D. Martinez drove in a pair.

"Man, both lineups can spit on pitches, can work counts," Dodgers first baseman David Freese said. "I don't know the last time I faced the team where the right side of the infield saw three balls in the air right out of the gate. That shows that those guys are working the inner half of the baseball. That's what they do. Their squad going up against Kersh, honing in on their skills, not trying to do too much."

In fact, both teams put up early runs with their powerful lineups, despite the presence of Sale and Kershaw in the mound. Later, both teams got as many innings from their relievers as they did their starters. Both teams looked to their bench in key situations. The Red Sox and Dodgers both have multiple starters capable of producing a gem in any given outing. It's also just as likely that every game will be decided by tiny little moments, and the constant turnstile of substitutions. And, don't forget, all those managerial levers being pulled, which leads to "clarification" questions in the postgame interview room, and second-guessing from pundits from coast to coast.

It wasn't about the aces, or even the stalwarts. It was about everybody.

"You look at both rosters, there's a lot of depth," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. "You look at the position players on both sides, grinding at-bats, and both teams have the ability to work pitch counts and get pitch counts higher, so you're going to have to go to the pen and play matchups. That's kind of how we saw it."

These teams are so good, and typically execute so well, that little mistakes in this series could result in outsized consequences. In Game 1, a mostly well-played contest in less-than-ideal conditions, all of the mistakes seemed to fall on the Dodgers' side, and it's why they head back to their hotel with a deficit on their hands.

A couple of the miscues came after Kershaw departed with two men on base -- a wild pitch and a missed double play chance that led to the fourth and fifth runs on Kershaw's tab.

"I don't think he had the fastball command that he typically does, missing up in the zone," Roberts said. "I don't think his slider had the depth that we're used to seeing. And those guys, to their credit, they put some good at-bats on him. We didn't play the defense that we typically do. I thought we left some outs out there. And it didn't make Clayton's job any easier."

A big fulcrum moment came in the top of the seventh. Three straight Dodgers reached base against Red Sox reliever Ryan Brasier, loading the bags for Machado, who hit a sacrifice fly, narrowing the game to 5-4. Roberts had Cody Bellinger at the plate, so Cora summoned Eduardo Rodriguez from the pen. Normally a starter who over the course of his career has had reverse platoon splits, Rodriguez got a ball up in the zone where Bellinger struggles. The slugger flied out meekly to center to end the threat.

Finally, the balance of the game was turned conclusively in Boston's favor next to another Eduardo in the bottom half of the seventh. With two on and two out, Roberts pulled Pedro Baez, who again flashed the dominant stuff he's had all through the postseason.

Lefty Alex Wood came on, so Cora sent Eduardo Nunez to the plate as a pinch-hitter. Wood, who, like Rodriguez, is also normally a starter, threw Nunez two straight breaking pitches and Nunez crushed the second one, hammering the hardest-hit home run ball he's had in two years. The ball just cleared the Green Monster, but it was a game-breaking home run just that same.

"In the beginning I thought it was going to be a single, because the wall is so high and I know it was a low ball," Nunez said. "When I see the ball is going, I was excited, because I didn't expect the ball going (out)."

All of this happened after Sale and Kershaw had returned to their clubhouses to ice their arms. One missed double play opportunity, one lefty starter-turned-reliever who comes through, and another one who does not. The Red Sox played an airtight defensive game, the Dodgers did not. The Dodgers made the one big pitching mistake, the Red Sox did not.

"I mean I love it," Boston manager Alex Cora said. "I love it. It's a challenge. They're going to mix and match. They're going to pinch-hit, they're going to bring their relievers. You know how I say I hate managing the other team, but actually you have to manage them and see who they have, and where they're going to come in, and when is going to be the point that the matchup is going to benefit us."

From the first pitch of every series to the last out of Game 7, you can catch the entire MLB postseason on ESPN Radio. Listen "

Neither the Red Sox nor the Dodgers are just about their aces, nor their stars, nor any one phase of the game. They are about all of it, and it gives us plenty to keep track of. These little sub-matchups are just as likely to decide the series as anything that happens with the headliners. To win a game, much less the series, both teams need all of their disparate parts to work together. Because if they don't, the other side has the weapons to take advantage.

"I really don't care if they second-guess me," Cora said. "I prepare. We prepare as a group, and you make decisions. And honestly when I'm done here, I shower, I get in that car, I might get a text that says, 'Go to the pharmacy and get some diapers for the kids.'"

In Game 1, it was the Dodgers who fell short in ways that were small, but had consequences so large. In Game 2, it's entirely possible that the roles will be reversed, and it will be the Red Sox who are left ruing a missed double play, or a curveball that doesn't bite.

But we will hopefully also get a game or two where none of these facets fail for either team. When that happens, we'll see the two best teams in the sport right now help keep the classic in Fall Classic. We might even get a game decided by the stars.

The Mega-millions prize of about 1.6 Billion dollars was won by someone is South Carolina

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A very lucky and very rich Mega Millions ticket owner has won the record $1.537 billion jackpot - and we may never know the winner's identity.

Mega Millions officials say a ticket purchased in South Carolina matches all six numbers in Tuesday night's drawing. The massive jackpot is the game's largest-ever grand prize and fell just short of the nation's biggest prize, a $1.586 Powerball prize that drew three winning tickets in 2016.

Mega Millions officials had forecast a U.S. record $1.6 billion prize, but the final number fell just short of that mark. The jackpot did set the Mega Millions record.

"The moment we've been waiting for finally arrived, and we couldn't be more excited," said Gordon Medenica, director of the Mega Millions Group and head of Maryland Lottery and Gaming. "This is truly a historic occasion."

South Carolina, however, is one of several states that does not require lottery winners to publicly reveal themselves.

The winning numbers were 5, 28, 62, 65, 70 and Mega Ball 5. No details on where the winning ticket was sold were immediately available.

The jackpot has been growing since July, when a group of California office workers won $543 million.

The lucky player overcame miserable odds. The chance of matching all six numbers and winning the top prize is 1 in 302.5 million.

The sales frenzy also produced an amazing 36 second prize tickets - each matching the five white balls drawn Tuesday night. Eight were in California, four in Florida and New York, two in Massachusetts, Michigan, North Carolina, New Jersey and Virginia, and one each in Arizona, the District of Columbia, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wisconsin.

Those tickets are worth a cool $1 million, except for the ticketholder in Texas and one in Florida. They bought the optional Megaplier, so those two tickets are worth $3 million each.

This would be the first Mega Millions jackpot winner in South Carolina, according to a historical listing on the MM website.

"We're so happy for the winner, and we know the South Carolina Education Lottery can't wait to meet the lucky ticket holder," Medenica said.

Mega Millions is played in 44 states as well as Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Lottery fanatics can now turn their attention to Wednesday night's $620 million Powerball prize.

Meghan Markle visit to Fiji market cut short by crowd management concerns

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Meghan Markle's visit to an indoor market in Fiji was cut short Wednesday over concerns about the location's security.

The Duchess of Sussex was hurried through Suva Market in the nation's capital, where throngs of greeters filled the enclosed and relatively dark space. The large crowd spilled out into surrounding streets.

Spending only about half of her allocated 15 minutes in the market, Meghan chatted with one vendor and briefly greeted others in the crowd before security personnel whisked her away. The Duchess' visit was rushed due to crowd management issues, a Kensington Palace spokeswoman said.

Meghan had visited Suva Market to meet some of the female vendors who have been involved in the U.N. Women project "Markets for Change." Vendors were selling watermelons, pineapples and other fruit at the market, as well as handicrafts and fans.

As Meghan, who is four months pregnant, toured the market, her husband, Prince Harry, was unveiling a plaque at a forest home to species such as the Fiji tree frog. The couple were on the ninth day of their 16-day tour of the South Pacific.

On Tuesday, the Duchess and Prince were welcomed to the island in the same way Harry's grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, and her husband, Prince Phillip, were welcomed in 1954. The couple attended a state dinner at the Grand Pacific Hotel later that night.

"This visit is particularly nostalgic for us as a young married couple," Harry said. "My grandparents stayed in this very hotel, the Grand Pacific, a number of times over the years. But this visit is also an opportunity to learn more about the future of Fiji, your economic growth, sustainable tourism development and social enterprises."

The couple was scheduled to visit Tonga on Thursday before making a return trip to Sydney. The Duchess and Prince will then close their trip with a four-day visit to New Zealand.
Fox News' Morgan M. Evans and the Associated Press contributed to this report.

James Taylor's performance at game 1 of the World Series was extremely "underwhelming" and he is now being mocked on social media

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
James Taylor sang the national anthem before the first pitch of the first game of the World Series on Tuesday night, but not all baseball fans were enthused by his performance.

Taylor, 70, sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" in front of a packed crowd at Fenway Park before the Boston Red Sox took on the Los Angeles Dodgers. Some social media users took exception to the legendary singer-songwriter being tabbed for the performance.

"'How (do) we sell baseball to a new generation?'" one user wrote in a mocking tweet. "'James Taylor?'"

"Nothing calls up that killer instinct like James Taylor on his acoustic guitar. -Nobody, ever," another user wrote.

"Sorry. Game 1 of the World Series. You can do better than James Taylor," according to one user.

Not everyone hated the Taylor performance. Some thought it was fitting for the Boston native to have the opportunity to sing at Fenway.

"It's fitting that in the 100th anniversary celebration of the Red Sox winning the world series that James Taylor, whose family built Fenway, sings the anthem," legendary baseball writer Peter Gammons tweeted. "And John Henry now owns the newspaper Taylor's family owned and hired a lot of us, including me, 50 years on."

"After all the over-the-top nonsense we've seen lately with the national anthem, the simplicity of a James Taylor rendition is just what we needed," another fan added.

In 2013, Taylor was tapped to sing the national anthem before Game 2 of the World Series at Fenway Park before the Red Sox took on the St. Louis Cardinals. Taylor started to sing "America the Beautiful" before transitioning to "The Star-Spangled Banner."

The Red Sox would pull out a win over the Dodgers in the first game of the World Series. Boston is trying to win their first title since 2013.

This isn't the first time Taylor has faced flack for a performance. The singer-songwriter came under scrutiny in 2015 after he was invited by then-Secretary of State John Kerry to sing "You've Got a Friend" in Paris after the French city was hit by a string of terrorist attacks. Many on social media called the performance "cringeworthy" and "awkward" considering the seriousness of the attacks.

Mysterious gold relic finally Identified by scientists after over 150 years

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The origin of a mysterious golden relic has been identified after leaving archaeologists baffled for almost 150 years.

The small, flat golden plate was uncovered alongside a female skeleton and a coin at a grave site beneath York station in 1872.

After more than a century of intrigue, a team at Yorkshire Museum - alongside experts from around the world - have revealed it is a Roman mouth plaque dating from the third century.

The 1,800-year-old plaque is the only example of its kind in Britain, and one of only 23 discovered worldwide.

The plaque would be used to cover the mouth of a dead body, and experts said it would usually be used by a person of high status.

But mystery still surrounds how and why it was used, with theories including it being a magical or medicinal amulet to protect the person in death, or a sinister talisman to silence or restrain them.

Yorkshire Museum assistant curator of archaeology Adam Parker said he is planning to carry out more tests on the female skeleton to shed more light on the mouth plaque itself.

This could include ancient DNA testing and stable isotope analysis to try to establish where the woman was from.

Mr. Parker said most of the other mouth plaques were found in the far eastern parts of the former Roman Empire in Syria, Turkey and Crimea, apart from one found in France.

He added: "The hope is if the skeleton could be proved to have an eastern link, where the other examples of the practice are, that would show a level of mobility of this unusual practice from one end of the empire to the other."

The woman is believed to have been between 18 and 30 when she died, and along with the mouth plaque she was buried with a fake silver coin dated between 202 to 210.

The coin, which was made of copper with a silver wash over the top, had the face of Septimius Severus on one side and Fortuna, the goddess of luck on the other.

Severus was Roman Emperor from 193 until his death in York in 211, but it is not clear whether the woman was buried during this period or later.

INDEPENDENCE, Mo. -- A Independence mother is furious after kids were caught on video bullying and holding a gun to to her son's head.

Independence police have a 17-year-old and two minors in custody after a video showing someone pointing a gun at a 13-year-old circulated on social media.

The 17-year-old turn himself into police Tuesday. Detectives are questioning him and the others about the video.

The boy held at gunpoint was a 13-year-old boy in the seventh grade. His mother, Emily Bridges, said he's on the autism spectrum.

Bridges didn't know why her son Darren came home with bruises on his face Saturday. She didn't get answers until her younger son showed her a video.

"I was hurt," Bridges said. "I was angry. I was crying. I was mad. I was upset because he didn't defend himself."

The video shows Darren kneeling. Other kids are yelling at him to kiss their feet. They use racial slurs. And then, someone pulls out a gun and holds it against Darren's head.

"It`s sad that other kids think it`s OK to treat people that way," Bridges said. "I don`t want my kids to treat people that way, and I don`t allow them to."

Bridges went to police Monday and said, at first, they didn't seem concerned about what happened to her son.

"He just really said that they're minors. There`s not a lot that happens to them," Bridges said. "They have to do community service. There's not a lot. I should just keep Darren away from there and keep him at home."

But on Tuesday, Bridges went back to police looking for someone to take responsibility.

After the gun was pulled, another person in the video threw punches at Darren. Bridges said the people who assaulted her son also stole money from him.

"I`m a parent and a mom, so I do feel bad for them to an extent," Bridges said. "I do think that all kids should suffer the consequences."

Bridges said her sons have been victims of violence before, and she wants other parents to step up.

"I think a lot of them don`t have parents that care," Bridges said. "Not that they don`t have them but just aren't around and don`t care."

The video of her son's assault made the rounds on social media. Bridges thanked the community for their concerns -- and wants the video to send a message to other kids and teens.

"I hope the other kids see this and see that those actions and those behaviors are not OK," Bridges said.

Jospeh Lee, the medical director at the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation Youth Continuum, deals with youth bullying and said adults need to set a good example for acceptable behavior.

"As a child psychiatrist, I know that the impacts of this don't go away quickly," Lee said. "These situations can impact people for a lifetime. We have a responsibility to teach young people to treat other people as fellow human beings. It's obvious that we are failing them too often when it comes to situations like this."

Almost a dozen passengers on a school bus were injured Tuesday night when it slammed into a passenger vehicle, killing someone inside, authorities said.

The yellow bus was carrying members of a school football team along Interstate 20 in Talladega County, Alabama, police said.

The identity of the passenger in the car who was killed has not been released. The circumstances leading up to the crash were not immediately clear, according to police.

Chuck Marcum, superintendent at Roanoke City Schools in Alabama, said 26 football players and three coaches on the bus were returning from a game when the crash happened. Police said the driver of the bus was airlifted to a local hospital. Three total adults and eight students were hurt, but none seriously.

Eyewitness video from the scene showed smoke billowing from the bus, with smoke in a grassy area near a highway. The front portion of the bus was severely damaged, and the passenger vehicle "was bent up like a pretzel," the witness said.

"We just passed the Lincoln/Talladega Exit 168 and saw this terrible accident. It just happened, the bus was smoking and all the children looked to be safe on the hill," Crystal Drake, who shared video from the scene, wrote in a Facebook post. "I saw a bunch of football players, but the car in the ditch was bent up like a pretzel."

Marcum, who announced the crash via Facebook, asked the community to pray in support.

"One of our buses that was transporting members of our football team tonight home from Leeds was involved in an accident on I-20," Marcum wrote. "All players and coaches will be transported to a hospital for evaluation. Please pray for our players and coaches."

Authorities are investigating the cause of the crash, which temporarily closed down traffic in both directions.

A thief was mistaken for a 'Friends' star David Schwimmer. Police in Blackpool, England posted the picture of the thief and people started to make 'Friends' jokes.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A photo of a suspected thief went viral Tuesday because the man bears a shocking resemblance to "Friends" star David Schwimmer.

Police in Blackpool, England, posted the photo on their Facebook page after a theft from a restaurant on Sept. 20. Authorities were asking the public to help identify the suspect.

Fans of the 1994-2004 sitcom said they knew exactly who the alleged thief was - Ross Geller. Many people began making "Friends" jokes because the suspect looked like Schwimmer, who played Ross on the show.

"I don't think it's been this guy's day, his week, his month or even his year," one fan wrote in one of the 101,000 comments that were left on the post, according to the BBC. (Many of the comments made references to the show's theme song, "I'll Be There For You," by the Rembrandts.)

"I'm surprised you've not found him... it's like you're always stuck in second gear," another person wrote.

However, Blackpool police confirmed that Schwimmer is off the hook. He was in the U.S. at the time of the theft.

"Thank you to everyone for your speedy responses," police said. "We have investigated this matter thoroughly and have confirmed that David Schwimmer was in America on this date. We're so sorry it has to be this way."

The post has generated more than 13,000 reactions and 66,000 shares.
