Bus Driver Charged After Fatal I-95 Crash

The driver of a tour bus involved in a deadly chain-reaction crash on Interstate 95 in Virginia has been charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter, according to state police.

Deadly Collision

Authorities said 48-year-old Jing S. Dong of New York was driving the bus when it crashed into slowing traffic near a work zone in Stafford County early Friday morning. The collision involved at least eight vehicles.

Five people were killed, including four members of a Massachusetts family traveling in an SUV and a 25-year-old woman riding in another vehicle.

Dozens Injured

Forty-four people were hospitalized, including three with critical injuries. Dong was also injured and remains hospitalized.

Investigation Ongoing

Prosecutors said there is probable cause to believe Dong was driving in a criminally negligent manner. Additional charges may be filed.

The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating possible factors, including driver impairment, fatigue, medical issues, vehicle conditions, and work zone design. Investigators are also reviewing whether the driver attempted to brake before the crash.

1 dead and 2 injured at party in NE Harris County: HCSO

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) — One person is dead and two injured after an “altercation” at a party in Northeast Harris County, according to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.

Sgt. Sidney Miller said deputies were called to a home on Rubilee Avenue in the Humble area around 2:30 a.m. Saturday.

When they arrived, they confirmed one man was found dead and two others were facing non-life-threatening injuries.

“What we know at this point is that there was some type of party being thrown at a house in this area. My understanding is this party was organized, they had a paid booth at the front gate, people were paying to get in, there were like over 100 people out here, we’re told,” Sgt. Miller said.

It remains unclear how the victim died, but the other two victims were shot and are recovering from non-life-threatening injuries, according to Miller.

Investigators are trying to secure a search warrant for the home where the party was held, Miller said.

Anyone with information regarding this matter is asked to reach out to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.

DRC Urges Calm Amid Ebola Outbreak

Officials in the Democratic Republic of the Congo say there is no need for panic as the country responds to a growing Ebola outbreak.

Government Response

Communications Minister Patrick Muyaya said the country has extensive experience handling Ebola outbreaks and has deployed medical teams and public information campaigns in the affected region of Ituri province.

Outbreak Numbers

The DRC has reported 906 suspected cases and 223 suspected deaths. The World Health Organization has confirmed 134 cases and 18 deaths in the DRC and neighboring Uganda.

Officials are also monitoring more than 2,600 contacts of suspected cases, while 125 people are receiving treatment.

Challenges Ahead

Muyaya cited misinformation as a major obstacle, with some residents questioning how Ebola spreads. He emphasized that Ebola is transmitted through contact with infected bodily fluids, not through the air like COVID-19, and said daily public updates are helping combat false information.

Hot and mostly dry this weekend, thunderstorms return next week

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — It should stay dry for the rest of May, but tropical moisture could bring downpours back to Houston next week.

What should we expect for the weekend?

Mostly rain-free and hot with highs around 90 both days. I say “mostly” dry, because there’s about a 10% chance of a stray shower on Sunday. The Gulf breeze will kick back in to help clean up the air quality under a partly cloudy sky.

Hurricane season starts next week. Is there anything brewing out there?

The National Hurricane Center expects no tropical development over the next 7 days across the Atlantic basin, but we will be watching a lot of moisture pile up over the western Gulf during the first week of June. There are some signs low pressure could spin up in that mess of moisture, but it’s too soon to know where the tropical moisture will end up. For now we have our rain chances low at 30%-40% most day next week.

Judge Orders Release From Airport Detention

A federal judge ruled Friday that a pregnant woman from Ghana and her 4-year-old son could not spend another night detained at Washington Dulles International Airport after being held there for more than a week.

Case Details

According to the American Civil Liberties Union, Anabella Gyasi arrived on May 19 with a valid tourist visa to bring her son to the U.S. for medical treatment. The ACLU filed a petition alleging that Gyasi and her son were being unlawfully detained despite policies that generally call for the release of pregnant women and children.

Court Ruling

The ACLU praised the decision, arguing that Gyasi’s health and pregnancy had been put at risk during the detention. Gyasi and her son were expected to return to Ghana on Friday.

Government Response

A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security said Gyasi remained in custody pending immigration proceedings and rejected claims of poor detention conditions, stating that detainees have access to medical care, medication, and food.

Montgomery Co. Pct. 3 deputy terminated, charged with misuse of official information: Authorities

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) — A Montgomery County Precinct 3 Constable’s Office deputy was terminated on Friday amid a criminal investigation in connection with the misuse of law enforcement databases, according to authorities.

Deputies say that Louis Norman faces criminal charges for misusing and violating a law enforcement database maintained by the Texas Crime Information Center and the National Crime Information Center.

Officials also say that he was immediately placed on administrative leave after the constable’s office received a complaint containing multiple allegations against him on April 19.

A complaint document obtained by Eyewitness News alleges that Norman searched names, addresses, and license plate information to stalk someone he previously dated. The ex-partner told investigators that she felt scared because Norman told her that when they were separated, he would use resources to “find out who her boyfriends were during those times.”

The constable’s office says that Norman had been employed by the law enforcement agency for two years prior to his termination. His employment was terminated on May 29.

The Montgomery County Pct. 3 Constable’s Office says they fully worked alongside the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office and the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office throughout this investigation.

Artists Withdraw From America 250 Event

Several performers, including Martina McBride, Bret Michaels, Young MC, Morris Day and The Time, and The Commodores, have pulled out of the Freedom 250 “Great American State Fair” planned for the National Mall as part of the nation’s 250th anniversary celebration.

Concerns Over Political Ties

The artists said they believed the event would be nonpartisan but later felt it was more closely associated with President Donald Trump and his administration than they were initially led to believe. Some performers said they were not informed of any political involvement when they agreed to participate.

Organizers Respond

Freedom 250, which helps organize events for the White House-led Task Force 250, denied claims that the fair is partisan. Spokesperson Rachel Reisner said the event is intended to celebrate American history, culture, and unity and remains open to all performers.

Mixed Reactions

McBride, Young MC, Michaels, and The Commodores cited concerns about political affiliations or growing divisions surrounding the event. Michaels also referenced safety concerns and threats directed at him and his team.

Not all performers have backed out. Vanilla Ice confirmed he still plans to perform, while the status of Flo Rida remains unclear. Disputes have also emerged over performances using the names C+C Music Factory and Milli Vanilli.
