The Department of Public Works suspended solid waste services Wednesday and Thursday due to the inclement weather. For much of the next week, trash pickups will be delayed by a day, with no pickups scheduled for the Jan. 1 holiday. “We know it is a bit of inconvenience for residents to hold that trash,” said Department of Public Works spokeswoman Lesley Malone.

A woman says she struggled to hold her 5-year-old daughter above water before pushing her to a man who jumped into a frigid lake to help after their SVU left a suburban Indianapolis road.

Her SUV went out of control and into an old quarry. Multiple bystanders jumped into the water to help rescue the pair. Mattingly and her daughter were taken to an area hospital as a precaution.
