Crews are still clearing away one of those accidents near milemarker 109 in the northbound lane. It all started when the axle on a tractor trailer broke, leaving it stranded on the side of the road. That backed up traffic and ended up causing another tractor trailer to run off the road. Then, a tractor trailer and car collided and two more trucks ran into each other. Police say it could take SEVERAL more hours to clean up the original tractor trailer with the broken axle.

Police say the incident began as officers chased a suspected stolen car early today.
At some point, the suspect abandoned the Toyota Camry and ran. After a short foot chase, he appeared to surrender to an officer. The officers forced the suspect to the ground, then hit him at least ten times with the flashlight in the upper body.

News footage shot from a helicopter shows at least one police officer hitting a suspect with a long flashlight while the man is on the ground. Several other officers were on the scene.

THROUGH A TRANSACTION CALLED "LOAN CONSOLIDATION" THEY CAN DRAMATICALLY LOWER THEIR MONTHLY PAYMENTS ON THEIR STAFFORD AND PLUS LOANS BY REFINANCING THESE VARIABLE RATE STUDENT LOANS INTO A SINGLE LOAN THAT IS LOCKED INTO ONE OF THE LOWEST FIXED INTEREST RATES SEEN IN GENERATIONS. UNDER A FEDERALLY SUBSIDIZED PROGRAM, IN JULY OF EACH YEAR, THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION SETS THE FIXED RATE FOR THE FOLLOWING 12 MONTHS, WHICH IS NOW AT 3.37 PERCENT FOR STAFFORD LOANS AND 4.17 PERCENT FOR PLUS LOANS. BUT NOT ALL STUDENT LOANS SHOULD BE CONSOLIDATED, SUCH AS FEDERALLY SUBSIDIZED PERKINS LOANS, WHICH LOSE THE BENEFIT OF GOVERNMENT LOAN-FORGIVENESS IF CONSOLIDATED. ALSO, LOAN CONSOLIDATION IS PROBABLY NOT FOR ACTIVE STUDENTS WHOSE LOANS ARE IN A GRACE PERIOD, BECAUSE LOAN CONSOLIDATION TRIGGERS THE REQUIREMENT TO TO BEGIN PAYMENTS. BUT RECENT GRADS, WHO HAVE LOANS IN A GRACE PERIOD DO HAVE A SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY TO CONSOLIDATE THEIR LOANS DURING THE GRACE PERIOD AND LOCK IN AN EVEN LOWER RATE OF 2.77 PERCENT. THERE ARE NO COSTS, FEES OR CREDIT CHECKS FOR LOAN CONSOLIDATION, SO THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO LOCK IN A LOW RATE AND A LOW PAYMENT ON YOUR STUDENT LOANS.
