WOOLWICH, N.J. - The owner of a local farm stand says he doesn't know how long he will be out of business after a dump truck smashed into a building on his property and drove away.

The crash happened overnight Sunday at Murphy’s Farm Market on Route 322 in Woolwich Township. Owner Jacob Steicher said he arrived to work and found his building destroyed. "I saw the front of the building was on the ground, I went inside and called the cops and told them there was an accident here, Steicher said. "I saw the tire tracks on the asphalt, you can still see them." The Woolwich Township Police Department is investigating the incident, but they have not made any arrests.

A store surveillance camera partially captured a shot of the truck and Steicher hopes someone will recognize the vehicle and come forward."They had to know - the whole building shook - they tore out and the whole building went straight down," Steicher said.

In Colorado River talks, still no agreement about water cuts
BOULDER CITY, Nev. - The Biden administration released an environmental analysis Tuesday of competing plans for how seven Western states and tribes reliant on the dwindling water supply from the Colorado River should cut their use but declined to publicly take a side on the best option.On one side is California and some tribes along the river that want to protect their high-priority rights to the river’s water, which they use for drinking and farming. On the other side are the other six states — Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming and New Mexico — who say it’s time to come up with an approach that more fairly shares the river.The Interior Department did not say how states should get to deeper water cuts, but defended its authority to make sure basic needs such as drinking water and hydropower generated from the river are met — even if it means setting aside the priority system."Failure is not an option," Interior Deputy Secretary Tommy Beaudreau told The Associated Press.The 1,450-mile (2,334-kilometer) powerhouse of the West serves 40 million people across seven states, which span tribal land, and Mexico, generates hydroelectric power for regional markets, and irrigates nearly 6 million acres (2,428 hectares) of farmland.A multi-decade drought in the West intensified by climate change, rising demand and overuse has sent water levels at key reservoirs along the river to unprecedented lows.
