Good morning. It's Saturday, April 29. First up today, an electric-powered train encased in a tube is being developed by a company called Hyperloop USA. It could take you to Miami from Orlando in 26 minutes, but it faces some big challenges first.

A suspected drunken driver hit five kids, killing one, after they had just gotten off a school bus near Poinciana Thursday.
