The collision occurred Monday night on I-95 northbound in Veazie, Maine, when an 18-year-old woman from Bangor lost control of her car due to snowy road conditions and crashed into the highway's median.
Mayor Muriel Bowser pointed to the city's expanded speed and red light camera system as one reason traffic fatalities fell by 52 percent here last year.
Successive punches of snow, wind and severe weather are "going to impact the eastern half of the United States," AccuWeather senior meteorologist Tyler Roys said in an interview. Beyond the threat to lives and property, "whether it's wind gusts from a squall line, blizzard or snow, or just wind because of the storm, you're looking at several major airports being impacted."
Oversized models, such as large SUVs, make it harder for drivers to see people walking and cycling nearby. SUVs are 14 per cent more likely to kill people walking and cycling than other passenger cars, and 77 per cent more likely to kill children up to the age of 18 in England.
At least 16 people, including eight women and children, have been killed in a collision between a bus and a truck in southern Yemen, according to local authorities. The accident occurred in the Lahmar area of the Al-Mahfad district, on a key transit route linking the provinces of Abyan and Shabwa.
The motion also originally asked councillors to declare that the local authority had "no confidence in the RSA", and to demand that recommendations from the 2024 Indecon report be implemented immediately. Cllr Curran told the Irish Independent that his "no confidence" wording related to concerns that the RSA's messaging amounted to "victim blaming". Reviews in the Indecon report suggest "radical changes in the responsibilities for aspects of road safety" as well as "significant changes in the funding".
All truckers and pass drivers will have to take their commercial driver's license tests in English as the Trump administration expands its aggressive campaign to improve safety in the industry and get unqualified drivers off the road. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced the latest effort Friday to ensure that drivers understand English well enough to read road signs and communicate with law enforcement officers. Florida already started administering its tests in English.
The crash happened around 12:15 p.m. at Highway 1 and Terrance Avenue, the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office said in a new release.

An initial investigation indicated the teen was riding the motorcycle at a high rate of speed on the highway shoulder when he collided with the truck, the sheriff's office said.
This shift comes after a year of testing with four mobile radar units. In 2025 alone, those four devices monitored around 11 million vehicles and resulted in 585,000 fines, according to figures from the Catalan Traffic Service. What's striking is how quickly driver behaviour changed. In the first days after a radar was installed, about 5% of vehicles were caught speeding. Within a couple of weeks, that figure dropped to around 2%.
Official evaluations from National Highways, some of which had been held back by the Department for Transport (DfT) since completion in 2023, showed that a slew of big projects to convert the hard shoulder on the M1, M4, M6 and M25 were rated as poor or very poor value. The AA said the long-awaited reports revealed smart motorways had been a catastrophic waste of time, money and effort, although the government said they showed the project could allow more vehicles to travel safely.
LATEST: More homes and businesses at risk as flood threat to peak this morning Series of Status Orange and Yellow warnings in place Coast Guard has asked public to stay away from waterways and exposed coastal areas Some schools may close today as flooding may affect transport The threat of flooding is set to peak this morning, with road networks expected to bear the brunt of the deluge. However, damage to residential and commercial properties is also likely, emergency services have warned.
Monitor Met Éireann forecasts as conditions can change quickly. Monitor local authority websites and social media channels for notices on road closures, flooding updates and community alerts. Allow for disruption when travelling and plan extra travel time. Flooding may impact public transport and the public is encouraged to check with operators in advance of travelling. Stay vigilant while driving, reduce speed, expect surface water, debris and poor visibility.
The governor's proposal guts long-standing protections for crash victims and benefits insurance companies at the expense of people harmed by negligent drivers. It would result in more denied claims, less accountability for dangerous driving, and increased blame placed on victims. It will shift financial responsibility from those responsible back onto victims. It does not prevent crashes, improve street safety or guarantee lower insurance premiums. Similar reforms in other states did not reduce insurance costs. Instead, injured pedestrians and cyclists will pay the price.
Emergency personnel were called to the area of Dundas Street W. and Acorn Avenue for reports of a pedestrian hit by vehicle at about 7:20 p.m., according to Insp. Jon Rose, spokesperson for the Toronto Police Service. Rose could not say if the pedestrian was in a crosswalk when he was struck. Paramedics took the man to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Aaron Jacob of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said. The driver was cooperative and stayed at the scene, Jacob said. Investigators do not suspect drugs, alcohol or speeding played a role in the collision, he said. The incident is still under investigation.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said there will be a "full review" of how electric bikes and e-scooters are regulated alongside a ban on scramblers in public parks and roads.
Hundreds of preventable fatalities and more than 13 million metric tons of climate pollution would be avoided by 2045 if Congress passed legislation that answered advocates' long- time demand to require state DOTs to set declining annual fatality targets - and reallocate highway money to safety projects if they don't meet those goals, according to a new analysis from Evergreen Action.
Honda and DriveOhio have teamed up on a new road safety initiative in which Honda vehicles are being used to collect real-time data that can advise about potential issues and road deficiencies before they become a problem. Honda's Proactive Roadway Maintenance System, which has been in prototyping since 2021, uses "advanced vision and LiDAR sensors" to identify issues such as worn or obstructed road signs, damaged guardrails, rough roads and emerging potholes.
