Truck spills cheese ball containers onto California highway

Traffic on a Los Angeles-area freeway faced a salty obstacle when a truck lost a pallet of cheese ball containers into the roadway.

The California Highway Patrol confirmed the pickup truck lost about 120 containers of cheese balls on the 105 Freeway in Lynwood shortly after 5 p.m. Tuesday.

Video from the scene shows Utz cheese balls littering the westbound lanes.

CHP officials said extra traffic delays were caused by drivers stopping on the freeway to find and retrieve undamaged cheese ball containers.

Ring lost in New York lake found by metal detectorists 28 years later

A pair of metal detecting hobbyists found a class ring at a New York lake that turned out to have been lost during a day on the water 28 years earlier.

Michael Siegle and Dylan LaPort said they were treasure hunting at the Great Sacandaga Lake when they found the Red Creek High School ring from the Class of 1988.

"We heard the tone on the metal detector and then just flipped over a rock, and it was just sitting there," LaPort told WRGB-TV.

LaPort posted photos of the ring on Facebook in the hopes of finding its owner.

After some time went by without any leads, the men contacted Red Creek High School and spoke with a secretary, who quickly identified the ring's owner as a former classmate, Kim Rasbeck.

Rasbeck said she had lost the ring during a day out on the lake with friends 28 years ago.

"I told them, I said, I will Venmo you, whatever it costs to send me the ring back," Rasbeck said. "And they wanted no part of that. They're like, no, we just want to get the ring back to you."

The men said they enjoy being able to reunite people with their lost items.

"Glad I could get it back to her," Siegle said. "I mean, that's what we do out here. Find rings, give them back, and anything else along the way is just a bonus."

S.C. man amasses collection of over 2,000 pairs of socks

A South Carolina man attempting to break the Guinness World Record for the largest collection of socks said he has surpassed 2,000 pairs.

North Augusta resident Darryl Parker, a retired firefighter and paramedic, said his sock collection started with a Father's Day gift, and then he started receiving more pairs for occasions including birthdays and anniversaries.

"My wife was like, 'Yo, listen, you got so many socks here...' my grandkids came and told me... 'how about we try for the Guinness World Record?'" Parker told WRDW/WAGT. "I was like, 'You know what? Let's do it.'"

The current record is held by retired CBS Philadelphia news anchor Jim Donovan, whose collection was tallied at 1,531 unique pairs in 2025.

Parker said he already has over 2,000 pairs, but he is planning to continue collecting until the end of the year before submitting his socks to Guinness World Records for official verification.

He said new socks donated from members of the public will be given to local shelters once he has secured the record.
