BREAKING NEWS: Bally’s Remains Open After Car Drives Off Bally’s Parking Garage

0
Updated November 25, 2024 at 7:30 PM
Operations are returning to normal at Bally’s after a strange incident this morning.
In the midst of the normal morning routine at Bally’s Casino, the sense of normal disappeared in one frightening moment when a car came crashing through the roof of the conference center. That car came from the top floor of the attached parking garage.
At the time of the crash, Koorsen Fire and Safety was hosting a conference for building inspectors and firefighters at the site. Koorsen is the fire protection company for Bally’s, and they aided in getting the building’s systems turned off. Firefighters and others attending the conference rendered aid at the scene.
The vehicle hit a concrete barrier, causing it to drop through the roof of the conference center, followed by the Ford SUV. The driver of the vehicle was the only injury.
A crane was brought in during the afternoon to lift the SUV and the concrete barrier out of the conference center.
The unanswered question is, “Why?” Police are putting together all of the information, looking at video footage, and planning to talk to the driver to determine what happened.

Bally’s was able to continue with normal casino operations through the day today and the parking garage will remain close until further notice.

Bally’s released the following statement: “We are currently investigating an incident involving a vehicle that drove off the seventh floor of our parking garage and will provide updates as necessary. Upon initial review, the incident appears to be the result of driver error. There are no signage or structural issues with the parking garage. The safety of our guests and staff remains our top priority.”

DAVID DAVID JONES, ESQ PRESENTED THE “QUILT OF VALOR” AWARD

DAVID DAVID JONES, ESQ PRESENTED THE “QUILT OF VALOR” AWARD

CCO STAFF

May 15, 2025

We are thrilled to announce that local Attorney DAVID JONES was presented the Marine Corps “Quilt of Valor” last week.

Jones became a County Council attorney in 1979, became a county attorney in 1981, and held it until 1986. Hand was the City Of Evansville’s Corporation Counsel, the head of the City Of Evansville’s city law department from 2004 to 2011. Â He has been the Vanderburgh County Attorney from 2019 to 2024.

Jones started his law career with Paul Wallace and his brother Keith, but after a few years, Keith wanted to go teach law school in China. Paul also wanted to go back to a big law firm, but Jones didn’t so he went out on his own and took on a series of associates.

Mr. JONES now works for one of the largest firms in America, Denton Law Firm.

This is a developing story.  More details about the Marine CORPS “QUILT OF VALOR” AWARD will be given next week.

The Purple Aces capped off their non-conference matchups on Tuesday with a massive 10-run win over the Southern Indiana Screaming Eagles. UE was able to tie the series up with the 18-8 win that lasted almost four hours, as Evansville didn’t score until the sixth inning. Senior infielder Cal McGinnis had a big game at the plate on Tuesday, with his fifth game of the year with three hits. He now leads the Aces in multi-hit games along with senior center fielder Ty Rumsey, as both have had 20 games with multiple hits. Along with the three hits the prior evening, McGinnis scored two runs and brought in another. UE has a big series ahead of them as they welcome the Bradley Braves to German American Bank Field. Evansville is currently ninth in the Missouri Valley Conference standings and a game behind Bradley for the final spot in the MVC Tournament. If the Aces win two of three games this week, they’ll clinch a spot in the postseason with the series tiebreakers over both the Braves and seventh-place Indiana State. If the playoff race comes down to a three-way tie between the teams, UE would get the highest seed at seventh while Bradley would take the eighth seed as they won their series over the Sycamores. The Braves come into the final series of the regular season having won five of their last six Valley games, including a three-game sweep over the Valparaiso Beacons. Bradley has made quite the turnaround after losing its first 11 games of conference play to get back into the postseason race. The Braves have won 10 MVC games this season for their best conference record since 2022, when they won 11 Valley games. Bradley is currently led on the field by senior utility player Bobby Atkinson, who is one of only two Braves batting above .300 at .339 with 57 hits. Along with Atkinson, junior infielder Timmy O’Brian is a threat at the plate as he is currently fourth in the MVC in home runs with 16 in 47 games played. After his big game on Tuesday night, Evansville is now led on offense by McGinnis with a .330 batting average in 44 games. The senior has collected 59 hits this season with nine doubles and three home runs. Along with having a team-best batting average, McGinnis is the third toughest batter to strike out in the MVC, only striking out once in ever 9.9 at-bats. He is closely followed by fellow senior Ty Rumsey, who has batted .324 while appearing in all 51 games for the Aces so far. Rumsey also leads the Valley in stolen bases with 30 and is also ranked 27th in Division I. UE will honor seven seniors on Saturday afternoon in its annual Senior Day game to close the 2025 regular season. Before Saturday’s 2 p.m. pitch from Charles H. Braun Stadium, Evansville will recognize outfielder Ty Rumsey, infielders Cal McGinnis, Ben Stuart, and Kevin McCormick, catchers Evan Waggoner and Matt Flaherty, and pitcher Jacob Jarvis for their time with the program. All seven players have either exhausted their eligibility or have foregone an extra year of eligibility after earning a degree from the University of Evansville.

Media Advisory: Riverside Drive Sinkhole Update & Smoke Testing

 Riverside Drive Sinkhole Update & Smoke Testing   

Thursday, May 15, 2025, at 11:30 a.m.

  Downtown Evansville (Four Freedoms Monument)

DETAILS: Evansville Water and Sewer Utility officials will be available to news media on Thursday, May 15 at 11:30 a.m. to give an update on the Riverside Drive sinkhole repair project. Additionally, utility officials will talk about smoke testing that will be conducted in the vicinity to identify potential leaks, cracks and other defects in the sewer system. Smoke testing will start Thursday morning, weather permitting.

Smoke testing is a method used to inspect the sanitary sewer system by blowing non-toxic smoke into the lines to identify cracks, leaks, or faulty connections. The smoke travels through the system and escapes wherever there are defects, helping crews pinpoint areas in need of repair. The smoke is safe for people, pets, and buildings, and typically dissipates within a few minutes.

The Braves come into the final series of the regular season having won five of their last six Valley games, including a three-game sweep over the Valparaiso Beacons. Bradley has made quite the turnaround after losing its first 11 games of conference play to get back into the postseason race. The Braves have won 10 MVC games this season for their best conference record since 2022, when they won 11 Valley games. Bradley is currently led on the field by senior utility player Bobby Atkinson, who is one of only two Braves batting above .300 at .339 with 57 hits. Along with Atkinson, junior infielder Timmy O’Brian is a threat at the plate as he is currently fourth in the MVC in home runs with 16 in 47 games played. After his big game on Tuesday night, Evansville is now led on offense by McGinnis with a .330 batting average in 44 games. The senior has collected 59 hits this season with nine doubles and three home runs. Along with having a team-best batting average, McGinnis is the third toughest batter to strike out in the MVC, only striking out once in ever 9.9 at-bats. He is closely followed by fellow senior Ty Rumsey, who has batted .324 while appearing in all 51 games for the Aces so far. Rumsey also leads the Valley in stolen bases with 30 and is also ranked 27th in Division I. UE will honor seven seniors on Saturday afternoon in its annual Senior Day game to close the 2025 regular season. Before Saturday’s 2 p.m. pitch from Charles H. Braun Stadium, Evansville will recognize outfielder Ty Rumsey, infielders Cal McGinnis, Ben Stuart, and Kevin McCormick, catchers Evan Waggoner and Matt Flaherty, and pitcher Jacob Jarvis for their time with the program. All seven players have either exhausted their eligibility or have foregone an extra year of eligibility after earning a degree from the University of Evansville.

The Purple Aces will look to secure their spot in postseason play this week
 
EVANSVILLE, Ind. — The University of Evansville baseball team hosts its final three games of the 2025 regular season this week.
The Purple Aces capped off their non-conference matchups on Tuesday with a massive 10-run win over the Southern Indiana Screaming Eagles. UE was able to tie the series up with the 18-8 win that lasted almost four hours, as Evansville didn’t score until the sixth inning. Senior infielder Cal McGinnis had a big game at the plate on Tuesday, with his fifth game of the year with three hits. He now leads the Aces in multi-hit games along with senior center fielder Ty Rumsey, as both have had 20 games with multiple hits. Along with the three hits the prior evening, McGinnis scored two runs and brought in another.

UE has a big series ahead of them as they welcome the Bradley Braves to German American Bank Field. Evansville is currently ninth in the Missouri Valley Conference standings and a game behind Bradley for the final spot in the MVC Tournament. If the Aces win two of three games this week, they’ll clinch a spot in the postseason with the series tiebreakers over both the Braves and seventh-place Indiana State. If the playoff race comes down to a three-way tie between the teams, UE would get the highest seed at seventh while Bradley would take the eighth seed as they won their series over the Sycamores.
