Five things you need to know
1. Yogurt is causing a real mess on a Toronto highway
Toronto commuters were delayed today, but not by your typical accident. A transport truck carrying a full load of yogurt crashed on Hwy 401 and when it did, out came the yogurt. The busy highway was littered with yogurt. Unsurprisingly, there were huge delays for hours as crews scrambled to clean up the mess.

It’s been a difficult month for the family of Kate Spade. The 55-year-old took her own life earlier in June and, on Thursday, the family announced that her father, Earl F. Brosnahan, had died as well at the age of 89. Brosnahan “had been in failing health of late and was heartbroken over the recent death of his beloved daughter.”
