SUMMARY: A head-on crash on I-44 in Eureka claimed the life of 62-year-old Lane Rocco, who drove east in westbound lanes, causing a multi-vehicle pileup including an 18-wheeler. Additionally, a family in O’Fallon, Illinois, is advocating for a change in the Illinois High School Association (IHSA) rules after their freshman son was banned from his cross-country team for participating in a charity race. The IHSA enforces strict eligibility rules to maintain equity, but the family argues that participation in charitable events should be exempt. An online petition for rule change has gathered over 1,000 signatures.

O’Fallon Township High School freshman Cole Deering loves running. He was devastated when his cross-country coach told him he was currently ineligible to compete because of a charity run Deering recently participated in.

SUMMARY: Three road workers are charged with assault, kidnapping, and armed criminal action following a September 26th incident in a work zone that involved an off-duty police officer. The workers claim the officer initiated the confrontation. During court proceedings, defense attorneys argued for bond reductions, asserting that racial language was irrelevant to the assault, while civil rights leaders push for hate crime charges. The judge will rule on the bond requests soon; current amounts are $250,000 for the worker accused of racial slurs and $100,000 for the others. The hit-and-run driver involved in the case remains unidentified.

Three road workers face charges of assault, kidnapping and armed criminal action following an altercation with an off-duty police officer in their work zone. Prosecutors allege one of the defendants also yelled racial slurs during the incident.

SUMMARY: Sure! Please provide the content you’d like me to summarize, and I’ll be happy to help.

Video shows a woman stealing Halloween decorations from a south city home, changing clothes, and then coming back for more the same day.

The first incident happened around noon Sunday on Michigan Avenue in the Tower Grove East neighborhood. Rose Thompson’s home surveillance camera captured a woman backing her car up in the middle of the road and then making two trips to her porch in the first visit, stealing items each time and then driving off.

Thompson said she couldn’t believe what she was watching.

“Someone pulls up, clearly likes what they saw, throws it in reverse, comes back and starts shopping like our porch is a HomeGoods,” she said.

During the thief’s first visit, you can see she looks directly into the camera before she starts grabbing Thompson’s property. Thompson says what makes it even more brazen is she and her husband, Drew, were home at the time in their living room with their three dogs on the other side of the front door.

She said once they realized what had happened, the woman was already gone. They thought they’d never see her again.

But three hours later, she was back.
