Dramatic Rescue
A Norwich woman survived a wild accident when her SUV slid off a snowy road, through a fence, over a wall and landed on a street below.

Unimaginable Tragedy
The mother of three children found dead in a Phoenix home told police that she smothered her young children, police said.

Grocery Store Gripe
Ever since the plastic bag ban took effect last summer, grocery stores have seen their shopping baskets disappear. It seems customers are walking out to their cars with the baskets and then not returning them. The head of the Connecticut Food Association calls it an "unintended consequence" of the state's new law that adds a 10-cent tax for every single-use plastic bag. See what grocery store managers are saying about their disappearing baskets here.
