TOLDEO (OHIO): A northwest Ohio sinkhole has swallowed a car travelling down a street and briefly trapped the driver, who climbed out after authorities gave her a ladder.  Toledo police Sgt. Joe Heffernan says a water main break beneath the road may have caused the sinkhole on Wednesday.  The hole is estimated to be at least 10 feet deep.  Police say driver Pamela Knox didn't appear hurt but was shaken and was taken to a hospital as a precaution.  Heffernan says Knox saw the vehicle in front of her start to slip into the hole but drove beyond it. He says Knox couldn't avoid it. Officials used a crane to pull the car from the hole. Repairs to the road are expected to take days. </div>

Don't 'besmirch' Mandela name, Tutu tells fueding family

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
JOHANNESBURG: South Africa's Nobel Peace Prize laureate Desmond Tutu Thursday pleaded with Nelson Mandela's family not to "besmirch" his name after they engaged in a public spat fuelled by a legal dispute over a burial site. The family of the global icon has been involved in a bitter legal squabble over the reburial of Mandela's three children whose remains were exhumed from a family graveyard in Qunu in 2011 and reburied in Mvezo.  The remains were dug out by Mandela's oldest grandson Mandla, without the family approval. On Thursday the remains were reburied in Qunu, Mandela's childhood village, after more that a dozen family members led by Mandela's daughter Makaziwe, applied for an urgent interdict forcing Mandla to return them.  "Please, please please may we think not only of ourselves. It's like spitting in Madiba's face," said Tutu in a statement.  In dramatic scenes on Wednesday, authorities forced open the gates to Mandla's estate to exhume the remains, following a heated legal battle.  Mandla said he had been surprised by the court order and publicly lashed out at his family, accusing Makaziwe, who is his aunt of "trying to sow division and destruction" in the family.  Tutu told the family he could not imagine the difficulty endured by the family when they were separated from the anti-apartheid icon for 27 years while he was in prison, "only to share him with the world when freedom came."  "We want too embrace you, to support you, to shine our love for Madiba through you."  The rift comes as the 94-year-old former political prisoner, who became South Africa's first black president, lies critically ill in what is now his fourth week in hospital.  "Please may we not besmirch his name." Tutu said.  The exhumed graves belong to Mandela's children who died between 1969 and 2005, one of them is Mandla's own father Makgatho.  Mandla had stated that he had a right to determine where his father ought to be buried.</div>
