There has been no agreement Tuesday but there has been a commitment to come by Wednesday and try once again. The South Korea defense ministry tells CNN that the working level military talks between north and south Korea ended this Tuesday just after 7 p.m. local time. But they wouldn’t say much more.

It is a terrifying crash caught on cell phone video. A truck was speeding down the wrong side of a California freeway. The 83-year-old driver hit the median and then was struck by an oncoming car of a chain reaction right close to northbound lanes of interstate 5. Investigators say the driver was confused, couldn't really explain how he ended up on the wrong side. He did get a ticket for driving the wrong way and with a suspended license, but again, thankfully no major injuries.
