Rollover car crash on Pike kills man, 23

State Police are investigating a fatal one-car rollover crash Friday night at the Allston-Brighton toll plaza on the eastbound side of the Massachusetts Turnpike. Jesus Munoz, 23, of Webster was not wearing a seat belt when his car swerved off the left side of the road, struck a light pole and Jersey barriers, and rolled over. The accident happened just before midnight, State Police said in a statement. Excessive speed may have been a factor in the crash, said Sergeant Dave Mahan, a State Police spokesman. The accident shut down three lanes on the highway for about two hours.

A federal judge in New Hampshire has limited former Tyco CEO Dennis Kozlowski's ability to sell his houses and other property. Kozlowski, who is in prison for defrauding and stealing from the company, cannot sell homes in Florida and Massachusetts without first notifying the company, and is limited in selling or transferring other assets. The order gives Tyco three days to object to any proposed home sale. Judge Paul Barbadoro's order on Friday came in a lawsuit against Kozlowski by Tyco and investors that alleges Tyco executives colluded in a giant accounting fraud scheme to misrepresent the value of Tyco and companies it acquired under Kozlowski's leadership. Tyco formerly was based in New Hampshire. (AP)

The town of Hooksett, N.H., has paid $205,000 to settle a federal lawsuit filed by two women who were fired for gossiping about their boss. Former assessor Sandy Piper and former code enforcement officer Michelle Bonsteel received money for back pay, damages, and lawyer fees. The town paid Piper $140,000, and Bonsteel $65,000. The Town Council fired the women and two colleagues last year after concluding they spread gossip about Town Administrator David Jodoin. The town denied any wrongdoing and the women agreed to waive any age discrimination claims. The other fired women, Jessica Skorupski and Joanne Drewniak, already received $65,000 settlements. (AP)

An exodus of state employees who retired before the price of health coverage for retirees went up on Oct. 1 has cost the state $16.5 million. The state said it paid the money over recent months for things such as severance pay, early retirement bonuses, and unused sick and vacation time. The average payout to 1,521 state workers was $10,500. Former Rhode Island College president John Nazarian got a check for more than $129,000. A college spokeswoman said he had built up a lot of unused paid time off. Governor Don Carcieri has said he expected to replace all but about 400 of the retired workers, but his spokeswoman said Rhode Island's financial situation has worsened. She told The Providence Journal that only "critical positions" are being filled. (AP)
