MADISON – Wisconsin quarterback Joel Stave went 2-2 for 55 yards, including a 17-yard touchdown pass to Rob Wheelright, as Team Gasser defeated Team Dukan 35-7 in the annual Badgers football Spring Game Saturday afternoon at Camp Randall Stadium.

With star running back Melvin Gordon on to the NFL, Dare Ogunbowale shinned on the field, carrying 11 times for 89 yards and two touchdowns.

Wheelright had the top day as a receiver, hauling in six catches for 67 yards and two scores.

Wisconsin basketball players Josh Gasser and Duje Dukan served as the honorary captains for the game, which was attended by 9,630 fans.

The scrimmage was the first game action for new head coach Paul Chryst, who took over the program after Gary Andersen abruptly left for Oregon State after last season. The former offensive coordinator says he enjoyed what he saw on the field.

“I liked getting to spend the spring with these guys,” Chryst said. “In a game like this, you’re going to see some good and some bad. I thought a lot of guys made the most of their opportunities, it was good.”

The Badgers open the Sept. 5th against Alabama at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

MILWAUKEE (AP) – St. Louis lost ace Adam Wainwright to an ankle injury, and then got a boost from Mitch Harris that helped the Cardinals to a 5-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday night.

Wainwright was helped from the field by a trainer after injuring his left ankle while stumbling out of the batter’s box on his popup to first leading off the fifth inning. He allowed three hits in four shutout innings.

The 29-year-old Harris then tossed 1 1/3 scoreless innings in his major league debut after serving five years of active duty in the U.S. Navy following his graduation from the Naval Academy.

Matt Holliday hit a three-run drive in the seventh for St. Louis, which has won four in a row. It was Holliday’s first homer of the season.

The Brewers lost for the 10th time in 11 games to fall to 3-15. Every other team in the majors has at least six victories.

Milwaukee scored three runs with two outs in the eighth on an RBI single by Adam Lind and a bases-loaded double by Aramis Ramirez, but Hector Gomez bounced out to third to strand the tying runs.

Matt Belisle (1-0) got five outs for the win and Seth Maness pitched 1 1/3 innings for his first save.

Holliday’s 26th career homer against the Brewers put the Cardinals up 5-0. Matt Carpenter, who extended his hitting streak to 12 games with a fifth-inning single, doubled with one out in the seventh and Jason Heyward drew a walk.

Brewers manager Ron Roenicke was ejected during the pitching change to Jeremy Jeffress, whose first pitch was hammered over the wall in right-center by Holliday.

St. Louis grabbed a 2-0 lead in the second when Kolten Wong had an RBI triple and came home on a wild relay throw to third by shortstop Jean Segura.

Wainwright will be re-evaluated when the Cardinals return to St. Louis. The Cardinals complete a six-game trip with a Sunday afternoon game at Miller Park.

Milwaukee right-hander Wily Peralta (0-3) allowed seven hits in six innings in his third consecutive loss. He struck out four and walked two.

UP NEXT

Cardinals: RHP Lance Lynn (1-1, 1.56 ERA) has allowed one earned run in each of his three starts this season. He is 6-2 in his career against the Brewers, including 4-1 with a 1.85 ERA in six starts at Miller Park.

Brewers: Mike Fiers, who gave up two grand slams in his last outing, has yet to make a quality start in three outings. Fiers, who hit Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton in the face last September, is 0-3 this season with a 6.75 ERA and opponents are batting .333 against him.

TRAINER’S ROOM:

Cardinals: C Yadier Molina, forced out of Friday’s 3-0 win over the Brewers after being struck on the right knee guard by a foul tip, was out of the lineup. Tony Cruz started in place of Molina. “We’re still hopeful that we’re talking a day or so. We’ll adjust as we need to,” manager Mike Matheny said.

Brewers: With starters Carlos Gomez (CF), Jonathan Lucroy (C) and Scooter Gennett (2B) all on the disabled list, Roenicke has been forced to mix-and-match, using 16 different lineups through the first 17 games. “I guess what it tells you is that, if you’re changing all the time, something’s not working,” Roenicke said.

UPON FURTHER REVIEW

The Brewers successfully challenged a call at first base in the sixth inning, negating what would have been the Cardinals’ fourth double play. Pinch-hitter Elian Herrera opened with a walk and Jean Segura followed with a bouncer to second. Segura was originally called out on the end of 4-6-3 double play, but the call was overturned after a review estimated at 49 seconds. The Brewers are 4-0 in challenges this season.

MILWAUKEE (AP) – Jerryd Bayless made a layup at the buzzer off an inbounds pass, lifting Milwaukee to a 92-90 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Saturday, drawing the Bucks within 3-1 in their Eastern Conference playoff series.

With 1.3 seconds left, Jared Dudley threw a high-arcing pass toward the basket from side court. Bayless caught the ball and quickly threw up the layup for the game-winning basket.

Bulls guard Derrick Rose walked away in frustration after trying to guard Bayless as green and white streamers descended from the Bradley Center rafters. The Bucks had won their first playoff game in five years.

Chicago had a chance to win with the game tied at 90. But Milwaukee’s Khris Middleton tipped a dribble away from Rose to force a steal. Bucks coach Jason Kidd called a timeout to set up the final play.

Game 5 is Monday in Chicago.

Jimmy Butler had a playoff career-high 33 points for the Bulls. Rose finished with 14 points, while Pau Gasol had 16 points and 10 rebounds.

The Bulls just couldn’t contain Bayless and Dudley at the end.

The veterans were a calming influence off the bench on a team known more for rising stars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Michael Carter-Williams, both starters.

But it was the bench that ignited Milwaukee’s second-half push after the Bucks lost a 12-point lead in the first half. The Bucks’ reserves outscored Chicago’s 47-13 for the game.

O.J. Mayo finished with 18 points, including a 3-pointer with 1:42 left while Dudley had 13 points and five assists – including the one on the game-winner – while Bayless had 10 points.

The Bucks forced 28 turnovers, eight by Rose.

TIP-INS

Bulls: Nikila Mirotic returned after missing Game 3 with a bruised left knee and strained quadriceps. The rookie, who got hurt going for a loose ball on Sunday in Game 2 in Chicago, finished with five points in 20 minutes.

Bucks: Antetokounmpo finished with 10 points and eight rebounds, while Carter-Williams had eight points and five assists.

ASHWAUBENON – Hundreds of families and business leaders took part in the March of Dimes annual March for Babies in Ashwaubenon Saturday.

It is the nation’s oldest walk fundraiser honoring babies born healthy and those who need help to survive and thrive.

Funds raised by the March for Babies help support research grants, family support programs, and more.

Students in Ashwaubenon helped in the fundraising effort.

Their principal says the experience helps them learn things they can’t in the classroom.

“Our students do so much, they just get so excited, and it’s students from different friendship groups, all grade levels. We get parents involved and our teacher led the charge on it,” said Kris Hucek, Parkview Middle School Principal.

The March of Dimes is committed to funding research to find the answers to problems that threaten the lives and health of babies.

KIMBERLY – More than 40 thousand people attended the Fox Cities Walk for Autism in Kimberly Saturday.

It was the biggest crowd in the 10-year history of the event.

The walk, which begins and ends at Tanner’s Grill and Bar, has become an annual tradition for hundreds of families.

Families can enjoy vendor booths, inflatable slides, and more.

The money raised is used to support both medical research and families affected by autism.

Officials say the turnout shows just how important this cause is to the community.

“It means the community really cares and they turn out in record numbers, but it also means this is a very serious condition and it continues to be a concern to everyone,” said organizer Elizabeth Jones.

FOX 11’s Michelle Melby helped kick off the 5K walk.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) – A Lake Mills area facility hit by a highly contagious bird flu virus will become productive again after they euthanize all 800,000 chickens, the company president says.

“We’re committed to a safe work environment for our employees, the health and welfare of our hens and to produce wholesome, affordable food for the country to eat and consume. That doesn’t change because our facility unfortunately tested positive (for the virus),” William Rehm, president of Lake Mills-based Daybreak Foods Inc., told the Wisconsin State Journal.

The facility owned by one of Wisconsin’s largest egg-production companies immediately started testing its flock every day after learning of another Jefferson County facility testing positive for the virus about 10 days ago, Rehm said. Every test turned up negative until dead birds were found this week, he said.

The egg-laying facility with 60 employees will become productive again after a difficult and emotional cleanup process is finished, Rehm said.

“We’ll follow the proper protocol to (euthanize the hens) and we’ll be very humane,” Rehm said. “It’s unfortunate and we feel bad for the animals and we feel for our team members at that location that they have to work through this process with us. It’s not a good deal for anybody.”

Daybreak has 13.5 million hens at egg-laying facilities in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Ohio.

State and federal agriculture officials say the virus has affected more than 7 million turkeys and chickens since March in Midwest states. That includes 1.2 million turkeys and chickens on six commercial farms in four counties in Wisconsin. A flock of 90,000 turkeys in Barron County was the latest casualty in Wisconsin, the state Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection said Thursday.

Experts believe the virus is spread by fecal material or oral secretions from migratory waterfowl flying over commercial poultry facilities located in the Mississippi flyway.

WASHINGTON (AP) – The United States is sending a disaster response team and $1 million in aid to Nepal following a devastating earthquake felt in neighboring countries.

The White House and Secretary of State John Kerry are offering condolences along with pledging the support.

The magnitude 7.8 earthquake outside the capital Kathmandu killed more than 1,000 people in Nepal and several neighboring countries. It also toppled buildings and triggered an avalanche on Mount Everest.

Kerry says in a statement that the United States stands with the people of Nepal and sends heartfelt sympathies.

He says USAID is preparing to deploy the disaster assistance response team and is activating an urban search and rescue team.

National Security Council spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan says the U.S. stands ready to provide further assistance in the region.

Nepal’s devastating earthquake was the disaster experts knew was coming.

Just a week ago, about 50 earthquake and social scientists from around the world came to Kathmandu, Nepal, to figure out how to get this poor, congested, overdeveloped, shoddily built area to prepare better for the big one, a repeat of the 1934 temblor that leveled this city. They knew they were racing the clock, but they didn’t know when what they feared would strike.

“It was sort of a nightmare waiting to happen,” said seismologist James Jackson, head of the earth sciences department at the University of Cambridge in England. “Physically and geologically what happened is exactly what we thought would happen.”

But he didn’t expect the massive quake that struck Saturday to happen so soon. The magnitude 7.8 earthquake killed at least 1,180 people and caused widespread destruction.

“I was walking through that very area where that earthquake was and I thought at the very time that the area was heading for trouble,” said Jackson, lead scientist for Earthquakes Without Frontiers, a group that tries to make Asia more able to bounce back from these disasters and was having the meeting.

A Kathmandu earthquake has long been feared, not just because of the natural seismic fault, but because of the local, more human conditions that make it worse.

The same size shaking can have bigger effects on different parts of the globe because of building construction and population and that’s something the U.S. Geological Survey calculates ahead of time. So the same level of severe shaking would cause 10 to 30 people to die per million residents in California, but 1,000 maybe more in Nepal, and up to 10,000 in parts of Pakistan, India, Iran and China, said USGS seismologist David Wald.

While the trigger of the disaster is natural – an earthquake – “the consequences are very much man-made,” Jackson said. Except for landslides, which in this case are a serious problem, “it’s buildings that kill people not earthquakes,” Jackson said. If you lived in a flat desert with no water, an earthquake wouldn’t harm you, but then few people want to live there.

“The real problem in Asia is how people have concentrated in dangerous places,” Jackson said.

Kathmandu was warned, first by the Earth itself: this is the fifth significant quake there in the last 205 years, including the massive 1934 one.

“They knew they had a problem but it was so large they didn’t where to start, how to start,” said Hari Ghi, southeast Asia regional coordinator for Geohazards International, a group that works on worldwide quake risks. Ghi, Jackson and Wald said Nepal was making progress on reducing its vulnerability to earthquakes, but not quickly or big enough.

Ghi’s group on April 12 updated a late 1990s report summarizing the Kathmandu Valley risks.

“With an annual population growth rate of 6.5 percent and one of the highest urban densities in the world, the 1.5 million people living in the Kathmandu Valley were clearly facing a serious and growing earthquake risk,” the report said, laying out “the problem” the valley faces. “It was also clear that the next large earthquake to strike near the Valley would cause significantly greater loss of life, structural damage, and economic hardship than past earthquakes had inflicted.”

And for years there were no building codes and rampant development so homes and other structures could be built without any regards to earthquakes, the report said. There are now building codes, but that doesn’t help the older structures, and the codes aren’t overly strong, Ghi said.

It’s actually even made worse because of local inheritance laws that require property be split equally among all sons, Jackson said. So that means buildings are split vertically among brothers making very thin rickety homes that need more space so people add insecure living space on additional floors, he said.

“The construction is appalling in Kathmandu,” Jackson said.

Poverty and pollution make the problem worse, Jackson said. That’s because people don’t spend time worrying about some future earthquake because they have more pressing problems.

“If you live in the Kathmandu Valley you have other priorities, daily threats and daily nasty things happen to you in terms of air quality, water quality, pollution, traffic and just poverty,” Jackson said. “But it doesn’t mean that the earthquakes go away.”

FOND DU LAC – A Fond du Lac hospice nurse climbing Mt. Everest is reportedly safe, after a massive earthquake rocked the Asian country of Nepal and four others, causing deadly avalanches on the mountain.

“I’m just going to cling to the no news is good news,” said Andy Land’s wife, Mary Sue. “There’s nothing else I can do.”

Andy Land, 53, was set to leave the Everest Base Camp (EBC) with International Mountain Guides at around 1:30 a.m. Nepal time Saturday (about 2:45 p.m. CST Friday). He was scheduled be gone for several days, climbing up the mountain to Camps 1 and 2, according to his wife and posts on a Facebook page detailing his trip. The 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck shortly before noon local time.

In a post on its website, International Mountain Guides Partner Eric Simonson spoke with expedition leaders Greg Vernovage and Ang Jangbu Sherpa several times by satellite phone from the Everest Base Camp (EBC), saying that “All the IMG members and Sherpas are all safe. The many climbers up at Camps 1 and 2 from several different teams are all doing well and we feel there is no rush to bring them down to the current situation in Base Camp until things have stabilized and we have had a chance to re-evaluate the Icefall route.”

In an interview with FOX 11, Mary Sue Land says despite not hearing from her husband, she believes he’s safe in one of the camps, waiting to reassess the next step in the frequently perilous journey to the summit. The earthquake and avalanches on Everest come one year and one week, to the day, of a deadly 2014 avalanche on the treacherous Khumbu Icefall that killed 16 Sherpas.

FOX 11 profiled Land in preparation for his trip earlier this year. The experienced mountaineer is using the climb to raise money for hospice care awareness.

FOX 11’s calls to IMG’s Seattle, Washington-area office to verify the well-being of Land and the other climbers have not been returned, nor have calls by Mary Sue.

“I’m hoping that they’ll call me back, I don’t know if it’s a Monday through Friday office, I don’t know,” Land told FOX 11’s Bill Miston. “It didn’t say that on the answering machine. I would think that if they were there, they would be calling me. I can’t imagine that they wouldn’t.”

According to Simonson’s post, news coming out of the EBC is “quite bleak,” as the earthquake caused a large block of ice to fall, creating an avalanche and air blast that struck the upper part of the base camp and “blew many tents across the Khumbu Glacier…(and also caused) many big rocks to shift around as well, which were the cause of some of the crushing injuries suffered by climbers in the upper base camps.”

Simonson goes on to say base camps further down the glacier, like IMG’s, were untouched and the IMG (and two others) have become triage centers, with dining tents being used as a hospital tents.

Vernovage told Simonson, according to the post, that 14 people have died and 50 people are injured.

“It is worth noting that over many expeditions we have never seen an avalanche from this area that was even remotely of this scale. It was truly a freak event caused by a tremendous earthquake,” said Simonson.

Snowfall has hampered helicopter flights and mountain rescue efforts.

Another group of IMG climbers heading down the mountain reached Kathmandu before the quake struck and are safe.

“It sounds like a real mess down there too,” Simonson said in the post. “Everyone is doing the best they can to deal with a very difficult situation.”

FOX 11’s Bill Miston is working on this story and will have more on FOX 11 News at Nine.

WAUNAKEE, Wis. (AP) – A month after a white Madison police officer shot and killed an unarmed biracial man, the sheriff’s department is trying to build understanding of the training it gives on how to deal with split-second life and death decisions.

Police officers can use deadly force to protect their lives or the lives of others in imminent danger but must be able to justify why they didn’t use a less lethal option in the aftermath, Dane County sheriff’s deputies told reporters this week during a four-hour training session on use-of-force policies.

The session came as District Attorney Ismael Ozanne continues to weigh whether to file criminal charges against city of Madison police officer Matt Kenny, who shot and killed 19-year-old Tony Robinson last month. Kenny was responding to calls that Robinson had assaulted two people and was running in traffic. Police said Robinson attacked Kenny inside an apartment house.

The shooting prompted multiple protests in Madison, with activists calling for Kenny to be charged with murder. Anger over police brutality is simmering in a number of cities across the county where white officers have killed black men in recent months, prompting calls for police to re-examine their use of force polices and accusations of racism.

Several other police associations and departments across the country, including the Dallas Police Association, the Maricopa County, Arizona, sheriff’s department and the San Antonio Police Department have run similar use-of-force sessions for community leaders and activists in recent months.

“The impetus is what’s happening around the country,” said Ron Pinkston, president of the Dallas Police Association. “People don’t understand and aren’t trained like police officers. We will shoot if we can’t see your hands or if we’re in a deadly force situation. It’s not our job to get hurt or get killed.”

Brandi Grayson, a spokeswoman for the Young, Gifted and Black Coalition, the group that has been leading the Robinson protests, said she knew little about the Dane County session or how it was presented. But she said it appeared to be an attempt to generate sympathy for the police.

“They’re trying to move us away from the root conversation, which is a black child who was unarmed was murdered,” she said.

No Dane County deputies were involved in Robinson’s death. But instructors at the department’s training complex in Waunakee, just outside Madison, said they want to educate the public about how police operate and how they must make split-second life-or-death decisions.

“We can’t just run away. We have to return the situation to normal. That’s what we’re hired to do,” said Deputy Dawn Brooks, one of the instructors. “If this is something the public won’t accept anymore, we need to have those conversations.”

Under state training standards, police do not have to wait to be attacked to use deadly force. They can fire their guns if they reasonably believe they or someone else faces an imminent threat of great bodily harm or death. But they must be able to explain why that level of force and not a lesser option was reasonable. Everything depends on each situation’s individual circumstances, Brooks said.

Officers are not taught to empty their magazines at a suspect once they make the decision to fire, the instructors said. Instead they’re taught to shoot until they stop the threat and to fire at the center of a person’s body. People who believe police should shoot to wound have seen too many movies, they said. In a high-stress situation it would be almost impossible to hit someone in an extremity such as an arm or leg, they said. Someone who is wounded can still fight, they added.

The Green Bay Police Department needs help in locating a missing “at risk” person.

CRISP POINT, Mich. (AP) – Two sisters say they survived in a remote part of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula on love for their family, melted snow and the Girl Scout cookies and cheese puffs they had in their snow-crippled SUV.

Leslie Roy and Lee Marie Wright said in a statement Saturday that “through the days and nights while in the woods” those and other things helped them “to stay alive for 13 long days.”

The 52-year-old Roy from Nebraska and 56-year-old Wright from Oklahoma were found Friday by a police helicopter pilot who noticed a reflection off their SUV.

The area has no cellphone service.

The sisters got stuck about 3 miles from Lake Superior after visiting relatives. They wore layers of clothing and drank melted snow during the ordeal.

MILWAUKEE (AP) – Milwaukee police say an officer shot and wounded a 15-year-old boy who allegedly had a semi-automatic handgun.

According to a police news release, two officers responded to an alert from a gunfire location system at about 4:50 p.m. Friday and they stopped a 15-year-old boy and a 16-year-old boy.

Police say an officer ended up shooting the 15-year-old, who they say had a semi-automatic handgun. The teen ran but police found him and arrested him. The 16-year-old was also arrested.

Police didn’t immediately release any details on what led to the shooting.

The teen was taken to a local hospital and was in stable condition as of Friday evening.

Police say the 42-year-old officer with 13 years of service wasn’t injured and was placed on administrative duty, per protocol.

MANITOWOC – Hundreds of volunteers are spending the entire day building a new community garden in Manitowoc Saturday.

The project is spearheaded by Grow It Forward, a non-profit organization geared towards increasing awareness, availability, and accessibility to healthy grown food in the community.

Together with the United Way Day of Caring/Comcast Cares, hundreds of volunteers will build a shed, fence, garden beds, kiosk, little libraries, arbor, benches, and planting of trees.

The nearly 2 acre site off South 14th Street will be used to help supply Manitowoc residents with fresh produce. Community members will have the opportunity to learn basic growing techniques and plant, tend and harvest their own plot.

The community garden will be strictly organic.

FOX 11’s Pauleen Le spent the morning learning more about the project.

The suspect used what police say was either a BB gun or a dart gun during the robbery.

A Green Bay Police K9 unit found the man in a dumpster across the street.

Police recovered his weapon and the cash that he allegedly stole.

No one was injured and police say the public is not in danger.

 

KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) – A powerful, 7.9-magnitude earthquake shook Nepal’s capital and the densely populated Kathmandu Valley before noon Saturday, collapsing houses, leveling centuries-old temples and cutting open roads in the worst tremor in the Himalayan nation in over 80 years.

Dozens of people with injuries were being brought to the main hospital in central Kathmandu. There was no immediate estimate on fatalities. China’s state broadcaster said one Chinese tourist was killed in Nepal at the Nepal-China border.

The earthquake also shook several cities across northern India, and was felt as far away as Lahore in Pakistan.  The epicenter was 80 kilometers (49 mile) northwest of Kathmandu.

Several buildings collapsed in the center of the capital, the ancient Old Kathmandu, including centuries-old temples and towers, said resident Prachanda Sual. Among them was the Dharahara Tower, one of Kathmandu’s landmarks built by Nepal’s royal rulers in the 1800s and a UNESCO-recognized historical monument. It was reduced to rubble and there were reports of people trapped underneath.

Old Kathmandu city is a warren of tightly packed, narrow lanes with poorly constructed homes piled on top of each other.

Sual said he saw people running through the streets in panic. Ambulance sirens blared and government helicopters hovered overhead.

National radio warned people to stay outdoors and maintain calm because more aftershocks were feared. A 6.6-magnitude aftershock hit about an hour after the initial quake.

Dozens of people were gathered in the parking lot of Kathmandu’s Norvic International Hospital, where thin mattresses had been spread on the ground for patients rushed outside, some patients wearing hospital pajamas, while doctors and nurses were treating people. A woman with a bandage on her head sat in a set of chairs pulled from the hospital waiting room.

Doctors and nurses had hooked up some patients to IV drops in the parking lot, or were giving people oxygen.

Nepal’s Information Minister Minendra Rijal told India’s NDTV station that there are reports of damage in and around Kathmandu but no immediate word on casualties. He said rescue teams were on the scene.

The Kathmandu Valley is densely populated with nearly 2.5 million people, and the quality of buildings is often poor.

An Associated Press reporter in Kathmandu said a wall in his compound collapsed and there was damage to nearby buildings.

The U.S. Geological Survey revised the magnitude from 7.5 to 7.9 and said the quake hit at 11:56 a.m. local time (0611 GMT) at Lamjung a shallow depth of 11 kilometers (7 miles).  An earthquake’s magnitude increases by 10 times with each increase in the number. A magnitude 7 quake is capable of widespread and heavy damage while an 8 magnitude quake can cause tremendous damage.

Mohammad Shahab, a resident from Lahore, Pakistan, said he was sitting in his office when the earthquake rocked the city near the border with India.

He said the tremors continued for a while but now the situation was normal.

The sustained quake also was felt in India’s capital of New Delhi. AP reporters in Indian cities of Lucknow in the north and Patna in the east also reported strong tremors.

Nepal suffered its worst recorded earthquake in 1934, which measured 8.0 and all but destroyed the cities of Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Patan.

REDGRANITE – Wisconsin State Patrol officials say seven people were injured when a dump truck crashed into a restaurant around 7 p.m.

It happened at Elmer’s Place, on Highway 21 at W. Main Street near Redgranite.

Officials say the dump truck was headed west when it struck another vehicle from behind. It kept going and ended up in the restaurant.

The driver of the truck was flown from the scene to a hospital.

Five people inside the restaurant, as well as a passenger in the other vehicle were injured.

The conditions of the injured are unknown at this time.

Officials are investigating.
