Arizona woman arrested for keeping dozens of dogs in squalor, others dead in freezer

FOX News

'The Big Sunday Show' panelists discuss how artificial intelligence could turn your pet's thoughts into reality. An estimated 55 dogs were rescued from an Arizona woman's home for special needs dogs after they were discovered to be living in filthy conditions, as well as those reportedly found dead in a freezer. Police in Chandler responded to April Mclaughlin's home on Friday and found dozens of dogs living in squalor with no water. Mclaughlin had been running a shelter for special needs dogs, but the reality had spiraled into such filthy conditions that firefighters had to wear special equipment to stand breathing in the home, according to AZ Family. Officials began investigating on Sept. 8 after a vet reached out to police that some of Mclaughlin's dogs were not in healthy conditions.

TEMPE, ARIZONA – Video of a deadly self-driving vehicle crash in suburban Phoenix shows a pedestrian walking from a darkened area onto a street just moments before an Uber SUV strikes her. The lights on the SUV didn't illuminate 49-year-old Elaine Herzberg on Sunday night until a second or two before impact, raising questions about whether the vehicle could have stopped in time. The crash Sunday night in Tempe was the first death involving a full autonomous test vehicle. The Volvo was in self-driving mode with a human backup driver at the wheel when it struck Herzberg, police said. The video shows the human backup driver in the SUV looking down until seconds before the crash.

A woman died of her injuries after being struck by a Uber self-driving vehicle in Arizona, police say, prompting the ride-hailing company to suspend ts autonomous-vehicle programme across the US and Canada. Monday's accident in Tempe, Arizona, marked the first fatality from a self-driving vehicle, which are still being tested around the globe, and could derail efforts to fast-track the introduction of the new technology in the US. At the time of the accident, which occurred on the night between Sunday and Monday, the car was in autonomous mode with a vehicle operator behind the wheel, Tempe police said. "The vehicle was travelling northbound ... when a female walking outside of the crosswalk crossed the road from west to east when she was struck by the Uber vehicle," police said in a statement. A spokesman for Uber Technologies Inc said the company was suspending its North American tests.
