Man dies in crash with semi-truck in Minneapolis
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – One man died after the automotive he was driving collided with a semi-tractor trailer in Minneapolis late Thursday night time.
The Minneapolis Police Division says the crash occurred round 10 p.m. on the intersection of thirty ninth Avenue North and Lyndale Avenue North.
When responders arrived on the scene they discovered an injured 59-year-old man and took him to the hospital.
That man later died.
The preliminary investigations signifies the semi-tractor-trailer was touring north on Lyndale when the automotive swerved into its path. Additional components that would have been concerned are nonetheless below investigation.
A Delta Air Lines plane bound for Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport nearly hit a military jet on Friday above the Ronald Reagan National Airport on Friday. This is close to where 67 people were killed in a mid-air collision with a military helicopter in January.

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – A Minnesota woman is grieving the death of her father – legendary boxer and heavyweight champ George Foreman – after he died in Texas last week.
Daughter remembers Joe Foreman
What we know:
Most of us knew him from moments like The Rumble in the Jungle.
But Michi Foreman who knew him as simply as “dad.”
“He was a big kid, he played with us like he was one of the kids and all of a sudden try to be serious,” Michi Foreman tells FOX 9.
Final moments with her father
What they’re saying:
Now Michi is mourning the loss of her father, who she says lived an extraordinary life.
“The last time I saw my father, the life was sort of just not there,” said Foreman.
She tells FOX 9 her father was more than just someone who took on Muhammad Ali.
He was a pillar in her life, a preacher, and someone who often gave her wisdom. She believes his cause of death was from all those years in the ring.
“I told my brothers and sister, I said he’s tired. And they were like, yeah, but he’s still fighting. I said, sit back and let God do his work. And two hours later, he was gone,” said Foreman.
Foreman fighting as dad
A daddy’s girl:
Michi says she has known her father to be a fighter since she was little. She went to see her father fight during his comeback, but it wasn’t easy.
“You can’t see someone you love like that get hit,” said Foreman.
She remembers when he became the champ once again.
“Everybody was cheering for him, and he won the second time the championship of the world. Went straight down to his knees after the fight, and prayed and thanked God,” said Foreman.
Michi also talked about how her father was sensitive and cared about people.
Whenever a celebrity was going through adversity, he’d give them a call to check on them.
Naming of the sons
Dig deeper:
Foreman has seven daughters and five sons. All of the sons are named after him.
“He was like, well, I don’t want any of my sons to feel like they’re less than the other one,” said Foreman.
In 1971, both Minneapolis and St. Paul began enforcing the rule in earnest.

The practice faded away in city and suburban neighborhoods. In the 1980s, state lawmakers passed a statute that gave some farmers an exemption to burn or bury their trash as long as their county didn’t have an ordinance banning it.
A later statute, however, banned the burning of “plastics, chemically treated materials, or other materials which produce excessive or noxious smoke.”
Since that definition applies to most household garbage today, burning it is “illegal in nearly all cases, even if a county has not passed a resolution to ban it,” according to MPCA spokesperson Michael Rafferty. People can get permits to burn plant material or untreated wood, though.

According to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency research, burn barrels are the nation’s top source of a carcinogen called dioxin, and can also produce carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides and a host of poisonous chemicals.
In Hennepin County today, a sizable percentage of residents’ trash is still being burned. Not in driveway barrels, but in a municipal trash incinerator called the Hennepin Energy Recovery Center (HERC) on the edge of downtown Minneapolis. For years, environmental activists have been pushing for the center to be closed.
