Officials in Ross Township said Mail fell from a tractor-trailer as it pulled out of the U.S. Post Office on McKnight Road Thursday morning.

The incident, which was reported shortly before 7 a.m., sent the mail onto the busy roadway.

After Police arrived the mail was loaded onto carts and returned to the post office.

Dylan Bornschlegel said “Everything was fine.” when he was picked up by an Uber early the morning of Dec. 12 from the intersection of 12th and Carson streets.

Bornschlegel said the driver wanted a drink so they stopped at CoGo’s. “I must have accidentally left my phone in the car. And when I came out, the driver was gone.”

Panicked, he ran inside the store and called his mother, Kim Sommers whose credit card information is in her son’s Uber account. While talking, she was getting updates on her phone saying that the driver was continuing to accept rides. Eventually, Sommers put a stop on the phone and the credit card, but the driver had racked up hundreds of dollars of charges.

The pair contacted Uber, which almost immediately refunded the money. They say they tried calling the driver to get the phone back, but when the number they dialed called back, it was a woman who said she had never been in an Uber her whole life.

Pittsburgh police cannot corroborate the details of this story, as they’re still investigating.

Uber issued a statement saying: “What’s been reported is unacceptable. The rider reported this to us and we immediately issued a refund and removed the driver from the app.”

Uber says they’re also looking into this and says they have stringent background requirements for drivers.

A West Virginia University student has a traumatic brain injury and cannot communicate with his family after he fell down a flight of stairs. He has been fighting to survive for six weeks.

According to investigators, 22-year-old David Rusko’s friends didn’t call 911 for more than two hours after the fall.

Doctors have told the family they can’t do anything more for him and he needs to be admitted to a different hospital in Atlanta. His UPMC health insurance was accepted, but the health plan denied the transfer saying “the medical records they’ve received do not indicate a need for this service,” basically saying the level of care he’s getting there is the same as he’d get at another facility. In a statement to Channel 11, a spokesperson for UPMC said they could not provide specifics on this case, but they are seeing what can be done.

Rusko’s fall happened at the SAE fraternity, which has been suspended.

Allegheny County leads the state for the highest number of retail theft offenses, according to a December report by Pennsylvania’s Unified Judicial System.

“People steal for a lot of reasons,” said Sgt. Aaron Scott, from the Frazer police station within the Galleria at Pittsburgh Mills . “Maybe they need food or diapers for their kids. But then you have people who are pushing out four TVs. Some people are addicted to drugs and are stealing things to pawn off.”
This is in contrast to reports that retail theft is down across the state of Pennsylvania. “It might be down because it’s not being reported or because retailers are not reporting it because the court system is doing nothing about it,” said Barbara Staib, director of communications for the National Association for Shoplifting Prevention, an organization that maintains that “shoplifting has become one of the most prevalent crimes in the U.S.” with roughly 550,000 incidents happening per day.

Shoplifting costs retailers nearly $778,000 per every billion dollars in sales.
