DOT shuts down another driver after fatal accident
In the second imminent hazard out-of-service order issued to a driver this month, the Department of Transportation s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has shut down South Carolina-based trucker Arnold Bradford Williams after he was charged with reckless homicide and possessing an open alcohol beverage container.
The charges follow an arrest made after Williams crashed his truck and trailer on I-526 into four stopped vehicles. One person was killed and three were injured.
The imminent hazard order was issued based on the violations of federal regulations that prohibit drivers of trucks to operate under vehicles under the influence of alcohol.
Hit & Run Driver Kills Poodle And Nearly Kills Owner CBS Miami

FORT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) Carla Rescia sobbed, weeping the tears of a mother who has lost a child. She feels she has.
Rescia s salt and pepper poodle mix, Pasta, was struck and killed by a hit and run driver Sunday who also hit the dog s owner.
Rescia had just pulled into her drive on Northeast 18th Avenue in Fort Lauderdale. She and her dog hopped out of the car.
Pasta the poodle stepped ever so slightly into the street. Rescia reached to pick up the dog, and they were both struck by a car speeding southbound on the avenue.
I can t believe he drove away. I can t believe he drove away, Rescia said Monday, tears coursing down her cheeks. He stopped because he hit me, and then the moment I held the dog in my arms, picked him up, he just drove off.
Pasta died in his owner s arms. Rescia, who caught a more glancing blow from the car, was treated for scrapes and bruises at a nearby hospital.
Pasta was my baby, he was happy, just a happy boy, Rescia said. I saved his life 13 1/2 years ago and he knew it. He was a happy dog, she said of the doe-eyed pup she rescued from the animal shelter. It never should have happened. The guy was going way too fast.
Fort Lauderdale Police believe the hit and run driver was behind the wheel of a newer model Mercury Montego, black with four doors.
I want him to turn himself in, Rescia said. Even a simple I m sorry, I m so sorry would be something.
Rescia, a dog groomer by trade is a lifetime dog lover. A small sign by her front door reads, No home is complete without the pitter-patter of little doggie feet.
Rescia s bruises and abrasions from her near death experience will heal. She says her heart, broken by the loss of her beloved Pasta, will not.

Owner/driver Ed Carpenter claims Indy 500 pole | The Salt Lake …
Indianapolis Ed Carpenter turned Pole Day into a family celebration.
The stepson of IndyCar founder Tony George became the first member of the Hulman family to win the biggest pre-race event in the series the Indianapolis 500 pole.
Carpenter produced a stunning finish to a day that was rife with suspense. His four-lap average of 228.762 mph was quick enough to break up what appeared to be a Team Penske-Andretti Autosport lock on the front three rows.
Somehow, Carpenter, who owns his team, beat out the big-name guys.
“To be a single-car team in this Chevy shootout, I am going to call it fighting with the Penske and Andretti guys,” said Carpenter, whose pit crew carried him off pit road on their shoulders after an agonizing wait to see if his time would hold up.
The soft-spoken Carpenter grew up around the world-famous 2.5-mile Brickyard, dreaming of the moment he could stand in Victory Lane. Perhaps that will happen May 26.
For now, Carpenter will savor the highest-profile achievement of his career and during a month in which he has strengthened his area ties. His sponsor, golfer Fuzzy Zoeller s Fuzzy s Vodka, is based in Indiana and this week Carpenter added decals to his car from his alma mater, Butler University.
After producing the fastest lap in the opening practice session last Saturday, Carpenter gave away his tickets to watch the Eastern Conference semifinals between the hometown Pacers and New York Knicks so he could spend some time with his wife before another working Mother s Day.
“I felt like, coming in, that we had a chance to be on the pole,” Carpenter said. “To sit on the pole for this race is really a dream come true, and I hope it is a start to what has already been a great month of May. The car has been great and I can t thank my team enough. The sponsors, a lot of great people helped us get here. This is just the first part of what we are here to do.”

Owner-driver Ed Carpenter steals Indy 500 pole from Andretti …
The lone owner-driver in the field stole the pole for the 97th Indianapolis 500. Ed Carpenter emerged from the “Fast Nine” ahead of the five Andretti Autosport and three Penske Racing entries.
Rain delayed Saturday’s Pole Day qualifying and limited Fast Nine teams to just one attempt at the first starting spot for the historic race. One attempt was all Carpenter needed to win the Verizon P1 Award, scoring 15 IZOD IndyCar Series championship points and a bonus of $100,000.
Rookie Carlos Munoz and Marco Andretti fill out the front row, both driving for Andretti Autosport. E.J. Viso (Andretti), AJ Allmendinger (Penske) and Will Power (Penske) line up on the second row with Ryan Hunter-Reay (Andretti), Helio Castroneves (Penske) and James Hinchcliffe (Andretti) finishing out the top nine.
For Carpenter, starting ahead of the powerhouses of Andretti and Penske probably means more than the points and cash do. This is the start of a dream come true. This is just the first part of what we want to do. To fight with the Penskes and Andrettis is an accomplishment in itself.
The first owner-driver to win the pole since the legendary AJ Foyt did it in 1975, Carpenter is also the first American driver to do so since Sam Hornish Jr. in 2006.
Munoz became the youngest driver in race history to qualify on the front row, and the first rookie since fellow Colombian Juan Pablo Montoya in 2000. The young Andretti Autosport driver has been on the pole for all three Firestone Indy Lights Series races this season and won two of them.
Fourteen other drivers qualified for the 97th running of the 500. On Sunday, Old National Armed Forces Bump Day allows the remaining nine drivers to attempt to qualify for the 32-car field. Only one will go home.
The 2013 Indy 500 is scheduled for Sunday, May 26, and will be broadcast on ABC.
Owner-Driver Ed Carpenter Wins The Pole For The …
Brian Spurlock-USA Today Sports Images
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway saw the return of speed on Pole Day.
The 2012 four-lap average pole speed was a whopping 226.484 mph set by Ryan Briscoe. This year, the speedway saw drivers flirting with speeds around 229 mph.
Provisional pole winner Will Power was on the fringe of 230 mph with two laps at 229 mph each that contributed to a four-lap average of 228.844 mph. But the speedway s new Pole Day format spices things up with the fast-nine competition that pits the top nine qualifiers from the day on a shootout for the pole position.
Due to rain, though, the fast-nine was pushed to 6:30 p.m. instead of 4:30 p.m. Each driver was left with only one attempt to re-qualify as opposed to the usual go-for-no run until the closing gun. The winner of the pole position receives $100,000 and 15 championship points. The idea was to create some excitement among the first three rows in the last 90 minutes of qualifying; on Saturday, fans at the track got just that.
Ed Carpenter, the Butler graduate who is now a self-financed driver-owner, recorded a four lap average of 228.762. Carpenter removed Power from the pole to take his own pole position in the Indianapolis 500 the first time in his career.
I knew we had a shot, Carpenter Said. I felt like coming in that we had a chance to be on the pole or inside the top ten To be on the pole for this race is a really big start of a dream come true and I hope it s a big start to a great month of May.
Rookie Carlos Munoz of Andretti Autosport blazed the field, qualifying second with a four-lap average of 228.342. The Indianapolis 500 will qualify positions 25 through 33 tomorrow.
Ed Carpenter wins 2013 Indy 500 Pole Position
Ed Carpenter won the Fast Nine Shootout on Saturday, and in doing so won the pole for the 2013 Indianapolis 500.
Indianapolis’ own Ed Carpenter will start on the pole in the 2013 Indianapolis 500 after winning the Fast Nine Shootout on Saturday. Carpenter, the only owner/driver in the 2013 field, knocked off the favored drivers from Andretti Autosport and Team Penske.
Carpenter posted the fifth-fastest time during regular qualifying, but took the pole with an average lap speed of 228.762 mph. He was the only driver in the Fast Nine Shootout to not be affiliated with either Andretti Autosport or Team Penske.
Carlos Munoz will start in second position in his Indianapolis 500 debut, while Marco Andretti secured the final spot on the front line by qualifying third. Will Power dominated the regular qualifying session, but dropped to sixth during the shootout. Ryan Hunter-Reay also struggled, dropping from second after regular qualifying to seventh.
Three-time Indianapolis 500 winner Helio Castroneves will start the 2013 Indy 500 from the eighth starting spot.
Here are the complete results from the Fast Nine:
1. Ed Carpenter – 228.762
2. Carlos Munoz – 228.342
3. Marco Andretti – 228.261
4. EJ Viso – 228.150
5. AJ Allmendinger – 228.099
6. Will Power – 228.087
7. Ryan Hunter-Reay – 227.904
8. Helio Castroneves – 227.762
9. James Hinchcliffe – 227.070
2013 Indy 500 qualifying: Full results from Pole Day
Pole Day from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is in the books, and it will be Ed Carpenter on the pole for the 2013 Indianapolis 500.
Team Penske and Andretti Autosport drivers were the favorites heading into Pole Day at the 2013 Indianapolis 500, but it was owner/driver Ed Carpenter who came away victorious on Saturday.
Carpenter, who was born in Indianapolis, finished fifth during the regular qualifying session, but won the Fast Nine Shootout to secure pole position. He was the only driver in the shootout who wasn’t affiliated with either Team Penske or Andretti Autosport.
Indianapolis 500 rookie Carlos Munoz secured the second position, while Marco Andretti qualified third. Will Power finished first during regular qualifying, but will start sixth after a disappointing shootout. Ryan Hunter-Reay dropped from second during regular qualifying to seventh after the shootout.
There was plenty of action as teams attempted to secure their spot in the race. Townsend Bell had one of the more interesting days of qualifying as he went from in the field, to out, only to work his way back in. Bell qualified in 20th position on his first attempt, but scrapped the spot for another attempt. On his second attempt, Bell fell out of the top 24. He made a third and final attempt during the last few minutes of qualifying and was able to get back into the field in 22nd position.
Several drivers shuffled spots during the final few attempts of qualifying. Ryan Briscoe went from out of the top 24 to No. 23 on his final attempt, but he and other drivers near the bottom aren’t safe yet. Bump Day is set for Sunday as drivers who failed to qualify on Saturday will attempt to gain one of the 33 spots. Drivers currently in the top 24 could be in jeopardy if faster times are posted Sunday.
Here’s a look at the current top 24 following qualifying and the Fast Nine Shootout.
1. Ed Carpenter – 228.762
2. Carlos Munoz – 228.342
3. Marco Andretti – 228.261
4. EJ Viso – 228.150
5. AJ Allmendinger – 228.099
6. Will Power – 228.087

The Best Place To Get Started
How did you get your start?
I had been in a taxi once. I thought, I will try it. It was different. I like talking to people. I liked it and thought I would keep on doing it, and it paid the bills.
How did you train for the job?
When I started, a dispatcher rode with me to get me more familiar for a while and to show me around. Now, we let the new hires ride with us for four hours and learn how to take money1 and credit cards and let them know what you can talk about and what not to talk about. I like to be able to talk about anything, but you can t. My safe topic is food. A lot of customers get in and they do all the talking, and that is good.
What essential skills are required?
A valid driver license. We are fingerprinted and background checked, and it should be because we are putting someone s life in our hands. And because we drive for the school board. We transport children to and from school, too.
My first pickup is 5:45 a.m. in Turkey Point. I take a gentleman to work and pick up the phone on the way. I also answer the phones, dispatch and drive around and pick up people all day long. I usually get done between 3 and 6 p.m. It just depends on the day. We have four full-time drivers and two part time drivers.
What s the best part of the job?
Meeting people and talking to them and finding out their backgrounds. We have a lot of people from New York, and I like finding out about what life is like in other places. I do not drive like a New York taxi driver2; I drive like a granny.
What s the biggest challenge?
To do it all and go home sane. Sometimes people complain so much they don t realize how lucky they are to have a roof over their head or money in the bank. There are so many people are out of work and don t have a home. I am so happy just to have this job. The economy is not the best;I could be unemployed and sleeping under a bridge but I am not and I am thankful for that.
What advice would you offer someone looking to go into this field?
You have to like people or at least like to talk to people of every walk of life. You have to try and interact with them. Even if it is a three-minute ride, it is the longest three minutes of your life if no one is saying anything. You have to try to get them where they need to go.

Sometimes that is hard if there is a language barrier. The friendlier you are, the better the tips are. Once you get in this for a while, you have regulars and see the same people a lot and you are helping them.
