NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks plunged Wednesday as investors, fearful that rising interest rates and trade tensions could hurt company profits, ramped up their selling of high-flying technology and internet stocks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 831 points, its worst loss in eight months.

The losses were widespread, and stocks that have been the biggest winners on the market suffered steep declines. Apple and Amazon, the two most valuable companies in the S&P 500, each had their worst day in two and a half years.

ALBANY — The operator of a limousine company involved in a crash that killed 20 people was arrested Wednesday, police said.

Nauman Hussain was taken into custody after a traffic stop on a highway near Albany, the New York State Police said in a brief news release. Police said they charged the 28-year-old Hussain with criminally negligent homicide in Saturday's crash in Schoharie.

Hussain’s lawyer, Lee Kindlon, spoke to reporters Wednesday after Hussain's arrest and said his client isn't guilty.

Kindlon said police "jumped the gun in charging him with any crime."

As of Tuesday, employers in New York, regardless of their size, needed to have sexual harassment prevention policies in place.

And they have a couple of options in regard to those regulations, according to Edward Steve, partner in Harter, Secrest and Emery's Labor and Employment Practice.

"The state issued a model policy, which employers could either adopt, or employers could have their policy, provided that it met the state's minimum requirements," he said.

Fifty people registered as organ donors in the first two hours of an enrollment drive this week at St. John Fisher College.

It is just one event scheduled on Wednesday in a statewide effort to boost the number of New Yorkers on the registry.  New York ranks last among the 50 states in the percentage of adults ( 32 % )who are registered.

Members of St. John Fisher's men's lacrosse team are encouraging people to sign up. Organ donation is an issue close to the heart of their head coach, Dave Dobbins.
