WAUKESHA, Wis. (AP) — A joyous scene of marching bands and children dancing in Santa hats and waving pompoms turned deadly in an instant, as an SUV sped through barricades and into a Christmas parade in suburban Milwaukee, killing at least five people and injuring more than 40 others.

The typical California first-time house hunter had 37% less affordability than a U.S. home seeker this past summer.

Kenneth Donnell Thomas, 31, was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected, said the CHP, which encouraged motorists to buckle up.

Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva told attorneys for Vanessa Bryant under oath that he encouraged deputies to delete photos taken at the scene of the helicopter crash that killed Kobe Bryant, the couple’s 13-year-old daughter and seven others.

Add up fuel, repairs and insurance and California was the priciest among the states to drive. Based on a mashup of infrastructure conditions and commuting stats, California was seventh-worst.

“We are devastated to hear of the sudden passing of Glen de Vries,” Blue Origin tweeted Friday. “He brought so much life and energy to the entire Blue Origin team and to his fellow crewmates. His passion for aviation, his charitable work, and his dedication to his craft will long be revered and admired.”

The collision, which claimed an Ontario woman’s life, happened just after 7 a.m. in the southbound lanes near Box Springs Road.

Los Angeles County attorneys had tried to block the sheriff from having to face a deposition, stating in court papers that he has nothing to add to information Vanessa Bryant’s lawyers don’t either already have or cannot find elsewhere.
