Worker injures leg at KU construction site A construction worker fell about 15 feet at the Learned Hall construction site yesterday. Deputy Chief Mark Bradford of Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical said emergency workers had responded about 4:15 p.m. yesterday. A construction worker working at the excavation site had fallen 15 feet and had hit some scaffolding during the fall, Bradford said. Because of the nature of the fall, additional units were used, he said. Emergency workers used ropes and other rescue equipment to remove the worker from the excavation site. Bradford said the construction worker had suffered a broken leg from the fall. He was transported to Lawrence Memorial Hospital. Two students injured in collision with bus Two KU students were taken to area hospitals late Wednesday after their vehicle rear-ended a charter bus on Iowa Street, Sgt. Mike Pattrick said. Roger Barnes, resident of Kansas City, Mo., was stopped in the southbound lane on Iowa Street waiting to turn left onto University Drive at 11:22 p.m., Patrick said. A green 1996 Saturn, driven by Jason Anthony Barker, struck the charter bus in the rear, he said. Barker, Wichita freshman, was taken bvair ambulance to the University of Kansas Medical Center, where he was in critical condition yesterday. His passenger, Jasitjan Dhaliwal, Cove Burr, Ill., freshman, was taken by ambulance to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, where he was treated and released. The charter bus, which had no passengers, is owned by Kincaid Coachlines, Kansas City, Kan. The driver, Barnes, was not injured. Michelle Burhenn Patrick said the Lawrence Police Department was investigating whether alcohol was a factor in the accident. WORLD Prestige oil tanker spill threatens northwest Spain NOIA, Spain — With high winds and Atlantic Ocean currents carrying another "black tide" of sludge from a major fuel oil spill toward shore, residents of northwest Spain worked yesterday to minimize possible damage. Authorities deployed more oilblocking barriers outside ports and rivers open to the ocean. Soldiers, environmentalists and volunteers cleaned beaches from last week's spill The fuel oil leaked from the Bahamas-flagged tanker Prestige in several spills starting Nov. 13 when it cracked its hull during a storm. The ship broke in half and sank Tues day about 150 miles off Cape Finisterre, carrying most of its 20 million gallon cargo to the ocean floor. Spain's environmental minister on Wednesday estimated economic damages so far at $42 million. Fishing in the area generates about $330 million annually, and has been banned since earlier this week. Defense Minister Federico Trillo disclosed Wednesday that Spain had considered bombing the ship with military jets, the aim being to sink it or burn the fuel. Now officials say they're hopeful the oil sank intact with the Prestige and would solidify in the frigid cold and high pressure 2.2 miles below sea level Prestige's cargo was more than twice the amount of crude oil spilled by the Exxon Valdez off Alaska in 1989, one of the world's worst environmental disasters. Tens of thousands of sea birds and other wildlife died in that incident. The Associated Press NEWS AFFILIATES KUJH-TV News Tune into KUJH-TV at 5:30, 7 and 11 p.m. for more news.
