A Washington State Patrol trooper was injured Monday afternoon when his patrol vehicle was struck by a passing motorist on the Vantage Bridge.

A State Patrol report indicates the incident occurred at around 3:30 p.m. on Interstate-90 in the eastbound lanes of the Vantage Bridge when a sedan driven by 27-year-old Aaron P. Quinene of Spokane Valley lost control and struck the patrol vehicle, which was parked in the right lane of the bridge with its emergency lights engaged.

Forty-four-year-old Trooper Seth T. Berghoff of Moxee was inside the patrol vehicle when it was hit and suffered injuries that required him to be transported to Kittitas Valley Healthcare in Ellensburg.

Please join us in sending prayers and, or, positive thoughts for his recovery. 🙏🏻

A Los Angeles man pleaded guilty for his role in a two-month armed robbery spree targeting multiple 7-Eleven stores and a CVS.

The crew, arriving in a BMW, jumped over counters, stole cash, and held employees at gunpoint, later bragging about their crimes on Instagram. Their crime spree, which netted over $7,600, ended with multiple arrests, and several members have already pleaded guilty. The suspect is now set for sentencing on Aug. 25, facing serious prison time.

President Trump's nominee for Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll was sworn-in on Tuesday by Vice President JD Vance.

This is the devastating reality of impaired driving. Early Sunday morning, a CHP - Fresno patrol car was rear-ended by a DUI driver on Highway 41 after conducting a traffic stop. The impact caused a violent chain reaction crash involving three vehicles, resulting in major injuries to the DUI driver’s passenger.

We are grateful our officers sustained only moderate injuries and wish everyone involved a full and speedy recovery. The driver was arrested for felony DUI and booked into jail.

Driving under the influence is a reckless decision that endangers lives. The CHP remains committed to keeping California’s roads safe and will continue working to remove impaired drivers before tragedy strikes. Always choose a sober ride—lives depend on it.

 Thousands of Muslims across Metro Detroit are preparing for the start of Ramadan this weekend, a sacred month of fasting, prayer, and reflection.

In 2025, Ramadan is expected to begin on Friday, February 28, or Saturday, March 1, depending on moon sightings. The month-long observance will conclude with Eid al-Fitr on Sunday, March 30.

During Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn to sunset, refraining from food, drink, and other physical needs during daylight hours. Each evening, they break their fast with iftar, a meal often shared with family and the community. Many mosques, including the Islamic Center of America and Masjid Dearborn, will hold nightly prayers, Quran recitations, and communal iftars.

Local businesses and restaurants will adjust their hours to accommodate the fasting schedule, and community organizations are planning food drives and outreach efforts to support those in need.

With Metro Detroit home to one of the largest Muslim populations in the U.S., Ramadan is widely observed across the region, bringing a time of spiritual renewal, unity, and charitable giving.
