Linton (NDHP) The North Dakota Highway Patrol reports, a car school bus crash Friday morning about 7-O’Clock injured the car and school bus drivers, along with three student passengers on the bus.
The crash occurred on U.S. Highway 83, a mile and half north of Linton, during snow fall.
The report says, the bus operated by 63 year old Paul Benedict of Linton was traveling south on Highway 83 and slowing to make a right hand turn into a driveway. The 1998 Buick LaSabre driven by 27 yer old Alexis Wangler of Linton, was traveling south on Highway 83, heading to Linton. The Bus’s 8-Way lights were activated along with turn signal to make its right hand turn and was below 20mph. Due to white out conditions behind the bus, the Buick was not able to slow or stop to avoid the crash. The Buick went underneath the bus and was stuck under the bus. The Fire Department needed to conduct extraction on the Buick to remove Wangler. All parties were transported to the Linton Hospital.
Benedict and Wangler were wearing seat belts.
The students on the was were 12, 13, and 18 years old.
Charges are pending against the drivers.
Assisting at the scene were the Emmons county Sheriff’s Office, Linton Ambulance, and the Linton Fire Department.

Bismarck (NDDOT) The North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) and the North Dakota Highway Patrol (NDHP) are requesting that landowners not push snow into rights-of way and ditches on state highways. This practice can exaggerate the drifting problems experienced on state highways. These drifts can create obstructions for motorists. State law prohibits a person from obstructing, or causing to be obstructed, any public highway or right-of-way.
Landowners are asked not to push snow within the limits of the right-of-way which includes the roadway, ditch bottom, and backslope of the roadway.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s first medical marijuana dispensary opened for business Friday in a Fargo mini-mall and several of the dozen or so people who showed up in the first hour said they’re relieved they can finally get the drug.
It took the state more than two years to build up a regulatory structure after voters approved medical marijuana in 2016. Marcus Schumacher, 23, who suffers from cystic fibrosis, showed up in the cold and snow and said it was worth the wait.
“It was a little bit slow but it’s day one,” said Schumacher, who spent about an hour filling out forms and looking through the offerings. “I’m very relieved, in all honesty.”
Schumacher said he’s happy he can get cannabis and “won’t feel like a criminal.”
Schumacher, of Fargo, said he found several products he believes will help him, primarily the cartridges for vaping because he prefers that over smoking. Others, such as Lanei Groshong, who suffers from severe arthritis, were disappointed because the shop does not yet have forms of the drug that aren’t tailored to smoking, like edibles.

In world and national news…
ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan has handed over an Indian pilot captured after his plane was shot down by the Pakistani military this week amid a dramatic confrontation between the two nuclear-armed rivals over the disputed Kashmir region.
Pakistani officials brought the pilot, identified as Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, to the border crossing with India at Wagah and handed him back to India on Friday.
On the Indian side of the border, Indian officials greeted the pilot who was in a dark blue suit, accompanied by a representative of the International Committee of the Red Cross.
Islamabad has said that the handover was a gesture of peace that could defuse tensions and avoid another war between India and Pakistan.
Varthaman was shot down on Wednesday in Pakistani-held Kashmir.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. is adding six high-ranking Venezuelan security officials on its international sanctions list as it steps up pressure on the government of President Nicolas Maduro.
The six include officials with the National Guard and police blamed for their roles in blocking humanitarian aid convoys into Venezuela. They were announced by the Treasury Department on Friday.
The sanctions freeze any assets the people may have under U.S. jurisdiction and prevent anyone in the U.S. from conducting financial transactions with them.
It’s part of a campaign to pressure Maduro to step down and turn over power to opposition leader Juan Guaido (gwy-DOH’).
The U.S. recognized Guaido as interim president last month. Maduro was re-elected last year in an election widely viewed as illegitimate, but the security services have remained loyal.
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — The global chemical weapons watchdog says it has found “reasonable grounds” that chlorine was used as a weapon in an attack on the Syrian town of Douma last year.
The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons issued a final report Friday of its Fact Finding Mission’s probe into the attack on April 7, 2018.
The United States, Britain and France blamed Syrian government forces for the attack and launched punitive airstrikes. Syria denied responsibility.
The Fact Finding Mission’s mandate does not include laying blame for the attack.
HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — President Donald Trump said he walked away from his second summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un because Kim demanded the U.S. lift all of its sanctions, a claim that North Korea’s delegation called a rare news conference in the middle of the night to deny.
So who’s telling the truth? In this case, it seems that the North Koreans are. And it’s a demand they have been pushing for weeks in lower-level talks.
Trump’s meeting with Kim ended abruptly and without agreements. Trump told reporters soon after the dispute over sanctions was the deal breaker.
But a senior State Department official who briefed the media acknowledged what Pyongyang was seeking was the lifting of sanctions that impede the civilian economy and people’s livelihood — as the North claimed.
