CINCINNATI —

A man indicted in a crash that left another man permanently disabled in 2020 has been arrested again on drug charges.

Antonio Wright is indicted on charges of aggravated vehicular assault, operating a vehicle under the influence of drugs, possession and trafficking fentanyl. Late August 2020, Cincinnati police said they tried to pull Wright over after he was involved in a drug deal. Police said he took off and seconds later, crashed into another driver.

The other driver, Travis Feltner, was on his way to work in the IT department for Children's Hospital. He was seriously injured and after days in intensive care and weeks in the hospital, returned home to his family, a wife and eight children.

Feltner has not been able to return to work after suffering a traumatic brain injury in the crash. He still deals with tingling and pain in his hands and frequent short-term memory loss.

He is also adjusting to life as a single dad after losing his wife Amber to COVID-19 in the fall of last year.

Feltner filed a lawsuit against the Cincinnati police department for pursuing Wright. The pursuit lasted a matter of seconds prior to the crash.

Another fall for stocks on Friday had the S&P 500 flirting with a 20% drop from its peak set early this year, putting it within the grasp of what Wall Street calls a bear market.

The benchmark index was down 0.4% for the day in afternoon trading and on pace for its seventh straight losing week. Rising interest rates, high inflation, the war in Ukraine, and a slowdown in China's economy are all punishing stocks and raising fears about a possible U.S. recession. The last bear market was in 2020, an unusually brief downturn that sliced 34% off the S&P 500.

The index finished the week off with a 3 percent loss, which was its seventh straight weekly decline, the New York Times reported. It's the longest window of losses since 2001.

Surprisingly low earnings reports from Target and Walmart this week didn't help either which contributed to dragging the markets even lower. The New York Times points out that since World War II, recessions almost always follow bear markets.

At least 10 million bees were released onto a highway after a semitrailer crashed in Utah.The truck, driven by a commercial beekeeper traveling from California to North Dakota, tipped over on Interstate 80 at around 10:40 a.m. local time Monday, Cameron Roden, public information officer for the Utah Highway Patrol, told CNN. The crash occurred because the driver was driving too fast on a curve, Roden added.Eastbound I-80's right lane was closed for about four hours to clean up the crash site and the driver was taken to the hospital due to numerous bee stings and minor injuries from the crash, Roden reported. Several troopers on the scene also received bee stings.Julie Arthur, president of the Wasatch Beekeepers' Association, told CNN the truck was transporting 416 boxes, each of which carried between 50,000-100,000 honeybees used to pollinate crops across the country."At least 10 million bees were in the air," Arthur noted. She put out a call to her team to help capture the huge swarm, but the beekeeper told authorities on site it was not worthwhile to attempt to save the bees.It wasn't until Tuesday morning Arthur received a call saying she and her team could stage a rescue mission.The scene was "a gigantic mess," Arthur recounted, with honey and honeycomb wax melting in the sun and boxes scattered everywhere, covered in the fire foam fighters had used to spray down some of the bees."Little of the equipment was salvageable," Arthur observed. "But we found a huge pile of bees on the back of the hillside." She described seeing "a wall of bees" 8 feet long, 4 feet deep, and 5 feet high. "We just started piling bees into boxes as fast as we could. They were not nice. They had just been dumped off a truck and most of them had lost their queen."Altogether, Arthur and a group of five volunteers rescued about 10% of the wayward bees.Whereas the rescued bees were previously destined to travel the country pollinating crops for farmers, now they're going to be used as teaching aids for burgeoning beekeepers."A lot of those bees are gonna be used as teaching hives for the Wasatch Beekeepers' Association," Arthur explained. "Others went to some of the beekeepers that helped, other organizations that needed bees, community gardens."Arthur added she hopes the incident prompts Utah to develop a more unified strategy to deal with accidental bee releases."We had hours of confusion as to who was allowed to do what," she acknowledged. "The good thing to come out of this is that the Utah Highway Patrol and Utah Department of Transportation and local fire and police departments have said we need to come up with an immediate strategy if this happens again.""Everyone knows how valuable honeybees are to our environment, but they were not sure what to do," she added. "It's really fortunate that we had people who wanted to come out and help."Utah is known as the "Beehive State" and images of beehives are found across the state's signs and monuments, according to the Utah State Capitol.

Each box contained between 50,000 - 100,000 honeybees.

The scene was "a gigantic mess," Arthur recounted, with honey and honeycomb wax melting in the sun and boxes scattered everywhere, covered in the fire foam fighters had used to spray down some of the bees.

"Little of the equipment was salvageable," Arthur observed. "But we found a huge pile of bees on the back of the hillside." She described seeing "a wall of bees" 8 feet long, 4 feet deep, and 5 feet high. "We just started piling bees into boxes as fast as we could. They were not nice. They had just been dumped off a truck and most of them had lost their queen."

Altogether, Arthur and a group of five volunteers rescued about 10% of the wayward bees.

Whereas the rescued bees were previously destined to travel the country pollinating crops for farmers, now they're going to be used as teaching aids for burgeoning beekeepers.

"A lot of those bees are gonna be used as teaching hives for the Wasatch Beekeepers' Association," Arthur explained. "Others went to some of the beekeepers that helped, other organizations that needed bees, community gardens."

Arthur added she hopes the incident prompts Utah to develop a more unified strategy to deal with accidental bee releases.

"We had hours of confusion as to who was allowed to do what," she acknowledged. "The good thing to come out of this is that the Utah Highway Patrol and Utah Department of Transportation and local fire and police departments have said we need to come up with an immediate strategy if this happens again."

"Everyone knows how valuable honeybees are to our environment, but they were not sure what to do," she added. "It's really fortunate that we had people who wanted to come out and help."

Utah is known as the "Beehive State" and images of beehives are found across the state's signs and monuments, according to the Utah State Capitol.

Five members of an Amish family are recovering after a driver crashed into their buggy Saturday afternoon in Missouri.

Truman Gingerich, 38, and his wife Ada Gingerich, 33, were returning from a church service with three of their six children, three daughters ages three, five and seven.

According to the crash report from the Missouri State Highway Patrol, a 71-year-old driver of a 2003 Mercury struck the rear of the Gingerich buggy.

All five members of the Gingerich Family were taken to area hospitals.

They’ve all been released except the 5-year-old girl.

"The Lord was looking out for them because they shouldn’t be here," said Dan Atkinson.

Atkinson is a friend and neighbor of the Gingerich family and was one of the first people to arrive at the crash site.

The broken pieces of the buggy are lined up against a fence on the Gingerich property.

"I looked for it. I realized when I saw the broken wheels everywhere that the pieces of the buggy were all over the highway," Atkinson said.

Atkinson spent part of Tuesday with extended Gingerich family members taking a buggy to be repaired for Truman’s family to use.

The family horse also had to be put down at the crash site due to injuries.

Residents of the Holden community have been rallying around the Gingerich Family, including providing them with meals and raising money to help with medical expenses.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol cited the driver for careless and imprudent driving.

The U.S. Coast Guard has suspended its search of nine people still missing after a floatplane crashed Sunday in Mutiny Bay, just north of Seattle, Washington.

The Coast Guard said in a press release that one body was recovered by crews on Sunday.

The Coast Guard continued their search throughout the night.

Around 10 a.m. Monday, they announced on its Twitter account that no additional individuals were recovered and no debris was spotted.

By Monday afternoon, the Coast Guard posted on its Twitter page that after “saturating an area” of more than 2,100 square nautical miles they had suspended their search.

"All next of kin have been notified of this decision," the Coast Guard said. "Our hearts go out to the families, loved ones and friends of those who remain missing and the deceased."

Officials said nine adults and one child were onboard and had departed from Friday Harbor and were heading to Renton Municipal Airport when it crashed.

The cause of the crash is unknown, officials said.

The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating.

Floatplanes are different from other common airplanes. They have pontoons that allow them to land on water.

HAMILTON, Ohio —

A Hamilton police sergeant was in court to face charges after he swerved left of center and crashed into an oncoming vehicle Friday night.

Casey Johnson, 40, appeared in court by video from the Butler County jail.

Johnson was on the Hamilton force since 2004. He was recently promoted from detective to sergeant but is now on administrative leave.

It all came after a bizarre series of events that started in the Ross High School parking lot after a football game. Investigators said Johnson got into an altercation and then left. Later in the evening, he was involved in the crash.

Butler County sheriff’s deputies said Johnson swerved left of center and hit an oncoming vehicle head-on.

After the crash, deputies put Johnson in the back of a cruiser. Investigators said Johnson kicked the cruiser's door so hard it broke off pieces. He is charged with vandalism.

Johnson refused an alcohol test and has not been charged with OVI. That could change if investigators have any other evidence that he had been driving under the influence.

The woman in the other vehicle is Laura Farnsworth, who lives near the crash scene.

“I can’t walk without crutches right now. I can’t put any weight on my left leg,” Farnsworth said.

In court, Johnson asked to be released without paying a bond.

“If I could request an O.R. (own recognizance) bond. I have no criminal history whatsoever. I’ve resided in Butler County for over 15 years I’ve been employed at the same place for over 15 years,” Johnson said.

Johnson was released on his own recognizance and is to appear back in court Sept. 22.

MEREDITH: GOOD AFTERNOON, PROSECUTORS WILL NO LONGER SEEK THE DEATH PENALTY FOR GEORGE WAGNER AND HIS BROTHER JAKE AND PARENTS BILLY AND ANGELA. BUT THEY STILL WANT A JURY TO CONVICT HIM OF MURDER. GEORGE WAGNER’S DEFENSE TEAM HAS ARGUED HE NEVER KILLED ANY OF THE EIGHT MEMBERS OF THE RHODEN FAMILY. ON THE STAND IN HIS OWN DEFENSE WAGNER TESTIFIED HE DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT HIS FAMILY’S PLANS TO SHOOT THE RHODENS. JAKE WAGNER HAD SAID HE WAS CONCERNED HIS DAUGHTER WITH HANNAH RHODEN WAS BEING SEXUALLY ABUSED. AND THE WAGNER FAMILY HAD TO PROTECT HER. PROSECUTORS ARGUE GEORGE WAGNER IS JUST AS RESPONSIBLE, BECAUSE HE HELPED HIS FAMILY PLAN AND CARRY OUT THE KILLINGS. DEFENSE ATTORNEY SAYS THE SHOOTINGS WERE NOT GEORGE’S IDEA. HE TRIED TO DISTANCE HIMSELF FROM HIS FAMILIES CRIMINAL LIFESTYLE. >> HE DID NOT HAVE ANY TEACHERS AS ROLE MODELS, HE DID NOT HAVE THE PARENTS OF FRIENDS HE COULD LOOK UP TO.

Authorities in California believe a Tesla, with four people inside, was intentionally driven off the Pacific Coast Highway in San Mateo County.

The vehicle was found hundreds of feet below a cliff on Monday. Officials who responded to the incident said the vehicle appeared to flip several times and land on its four wheels.

California Highway Patrol identified the driver as Dharmesh A. Patel of Pasadena. He was arrested for attempted murder and child abuse after investigators said they interviewed witnesses and collected evidence from the scene. However, they did not provide specifics.

"Mr. Patel is being treated for his injuries and will be booked into San Mateo County Jail upon his release from the hospital," a statement from California Patrol says.

Officials called it a "miracle" after discovering that the four individuals, including two children, survived the fall.

Emergency crews rappelled down the cliffside and pulled the two children from the vehicle.

A helicopter was called in to assist with the extrication and rescue of the two adults.

DAYTON, Ohio —

More than four years after a family from Mason was killed in a wrong-way crash on Interstate 75, the woman accused of killing them is on trial.

Abby Michaels, 25, of Xenia, faces six counts of murder and three counts of aggravated vehicular homicide. Last Friday, three additional counts of aggravated vehicular homicide and an OVI charge were dismissed.

On March 17, 2019, prosecutors said Michaels intentionally drove the wrong way on the interstate and crashed into another car killing Timmy Thompson, 51, his wife Karen Thompson, 50 and their 10-year-old daughter Tessa.

The Thompsons were on their way home to Mason after visiting family when they were hit head-on.

"By nightfall, that living family was no longer alive," assistant Montgomery County prosecutor Bryan Moore said in his opening statement.

Prosecutors said other drivers saw Michaels' car drive through an emergency turn-around and head north in the southbound lanes.

"And they watch in horror as that vehicle collides with the Thompson vehicle. That vehicle is being driven, controlled by Abby Michaels," Moore said.

Defense attorney Jay Adams called what happened tragic but said there is more to the story.

"This issue is whether or not Abby Michaels acted knowingly. That's the whole case," Adams said.

Adams said Michaels had suffered for years from a seizure disorder.

"At the end of this, Abby Michaels was involved in a tragic event with the Thompson family. That is very sad, but she didn't murder anybody. She suffered from a medical condition," Adams said.

One of the first people to testify Monday was Michaels' husband at the time of the crash, Kyle Pastorelle. He had filed for divorce two days prior and was not with Michaels that night.

Prosecutors showed surveillance footage of Michaels wearing a festive, green and white St. Patrick's Day hat at Ron's Pizza in Miamisburg.

Prosecutors pointed her out in the video leaving the restaurant at 7:43 p.m. that night.

Eleven minutes later, Pastorelle said Michaels called him asking to come over.

"I was pretty adamant on 'No, we're not doing this. It's not going to happen,' and that's when she told me that — she was driving at the time — and that's when she told me she was going to drive backwards on 75," Pastorelle said.

Pastorelle said Michaels sent him a text message a few minutes later and said, "Goodbye. I love you. I'm dying now."

By 8:10 p.m., Moraine police were dispatched to the deadly crash.

During cross-examination, Pastorelle testified to Michaels' medical issues.

"You were asked about seizures and whether you've actually seen any in the seven years. You know she's had them, correct?" Adams asked.

Pastorelle said, "Yeah."

Adams asked, "You know she's been hospitalized for them, correct?"

"Yes," Pastorelle answered.

WASHINGTON —

A wayward and unresponsive business plane that flew over the nation's capital Sunday afternoon caused the military to scramble a fighter jet before the plane crashed in Virginia, officials said. The fighter jet caused a loud sonic boom that was heard across the capital region.

Hours later, police said rescuers had reached the site of the plane crash in a rural part of the Shenandoah Valley and that no survivors were found.

The Federal Aviation Administration says the Cessna Citation took off from Elizabethtown, Tennessee, on Sunday and was headed for Long Island's MacArthur Airport. Inexplicably, the plane turned around over New York's Long Island and flew a straight path down over D.C. before it crashed over mountainous terrain near Montebello, Virginia, around 3:30 p.m.

It was not immediately clear why the plane was nonresponsive, why it crashed or how many people were on board. The plane flew directly over the nation's capital, though it was technically flying above some of the most heavily restricted airspace in the nation.

A U.S. official confirmed to The Associated Press that the military jet had scrambled to respond to the small plane, which wasn't responding to radio transmissions and later crashed. The official was not authorized to publicly discuss details of the military operation and spoke on condition of anonymity.

Flight tracking sites showed the jet suffered a rapid spiraling descent, dropping at one point at a rate of more than 30,000 feet per minute before crashing in the St. Mary's Wilderness.

Caught on camera: Trooper in Utah crashes into wrong-way driver on busy highway



It's *** call. No spouse wants to get. I've had him call me before on his way home saying, hey, I'm gonna be late. I'm on *** crash. And so in my head, that's what I heard. And then I was like, wait *** minute, he just said you were in *** crash. And I was like, did you have *** tire blow or? He's like, no, I was in *** head on Nicole mccoy's husband, Utah Highway patrol trooper sergeant Chad mccoy risked his life, Tuesday afternoon to save the lives of other drivers. I just finished my shift in county. So I just crossed over into the county and I didn't hear anything on the radio. At that time, I just noticed any cars moving to the right and then this truck was in the wrong direction and I realized it's actually traveling sergeant mccoy had just seconds to make *** decision. Dash cam video shows the moment he intentionally hit the wrong way driver to get the best I could to try to stop mccoy has received praise from many for his heroic actions, but to him, he's just doing his job. I just view myself as just *** regular, I really think that we all have that mindset. We all come to work every day just trying to keep people safe. In Tuesday's crash, everyone involved was able to return home. But HP Colonel Michael Rapid says that's not always the case. Runway driving often way too often have severe outcomes.

Man suing Uber, says crash left him quadriplegic

Montana police said Tuesday morning that investigators believe a disturbance occurred inside a vehicle prior to it crashing in the city of Billings.

Lt. Brandon Wooley said officers were dispatched at 3:11 a.m. local time to a vehicle crash in the 300 block of South 27th Street. When officers arrived they said they found two men inside a vehicle unresponsive and not breathing. The men, both estimated to be in their 20s, had suffered apparent gunshot wounds and died at the scene, Wooley said.

Their names have not yet been released. A third person inside the vehicle was taken by ambulance to a medical facility. He was identified as a 22-year-old man from Billings, but his name was not released.

Billings police investigate the scene of a fatal shooting Tuesday morning.

____________________________________________________________________________________

"Initial information indicates that a disturbance occurred in the vehicle prior to crashing into a tree on the side of the road," Wooley said in a statement. "Detectives with the Investigations Divisions are on-scene investigating. At this time, the BPD is not looking for any other persons involved. There have been no arrests."

Raw Video: Billings Shooting Crime Scene

Earlier a vehicle crash was reported on South 37th Street in Billings, which quickly became a murder investigation as first responders discovered the two bodies in the car, each with bullet wounds.

When police were called out they found the two men shot dead, and a third with severe trauma to his neck and he was taken to a hospital.
