The top local stories this evening from the KERA Newsroom: KERA’s final chapter of the series One Crisis Away: Inside a Neighborhood tells the story of a single mother trying to get by on $10 an hour. And a single accident happened at exactly the wrong place in Dallas this morning.

It bogged down traffic on multiple highways and side streets for hours.

You can listen to the top local news stories weekdays at 6:20 p.m. and 8:20 a.m. on KERA 90.1 FM.
