Authorities are investigating, and local community members are calling for safety improvements along the corridor. Now here is Chloe with the forecast. In other local news, mostly sunny with a high near 74 and a low about 56. North winds near 16 with gusts to 26, so it will be breezy. Now over to Maya. Turning to the arts, 'Garrison Keillor Tonight With Erica Rhodes' is scheduled at the Florida Theatre for Tuesday, October 20 at 7:30 in the evening. Find details on the Florida Theatre events page. And if you are heading out Saturday, the Riverside Arts Market is under the Fuller Warren Bridge on Saturday, October 24, starting at 10 in the morning. It runs every Saturday.
