A 45-year-old driver was killed in Dallas early Sunday in a crash that involved two street racers, according to police. The deadly crash unfolded around 5 a.m., Fox 4 reported. The victim, Kendrick Lyons, was struck by one of two racing Camaros, according to the station. Lyons’ mother said he was driving to donate plasma and had celebrated his birthday with the family the night before. Lyons was ejected from his vehicle and killed. The impact of the crash had sent Lyons’ car into rotation before it caught fire, police said. The driver who hit Lyons’ car was rushed to a nearby hospital with “serious internal injuries.” The other driver, 27-year-old Alejandro Valdez, hit a curb and mailbox before stopping his car. Valdez was unhurt. He remained at the scene and turned himself in to police, Fox 4 reported. He was being held at Dallas County Jail. Police said Valdez and the driver who struck Lyons will be charged with racing causing death.

Border Patrol agents arrested a man Wednesday after discovering 26 illegal immigrants hiding inside a tractor-trailer that was crossing into California at the U.S.-Mexico border, officials said. Agents assigned to the El Centro Sector checkpoint on Highway 86 discovered the immigrants around 9:40 p.m. while conducting an immigration check on the 32-year-old driver, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a news release. A Border Patrol canine alerted agents to the rear cargo of the tractor-trailer. The agents said they inspected the area and found 26 people inside. Chief Patrol Agent Gloria I. Chavez said the immigrants had no safety restraints and were locked inside in below 45-degree weather. The driver presented agents with a California driver’s license as his own, but it was later determined to be fraudulent. The agents then determined that the driver was a Mexican national in the U.S. illegally, according to CBP. The driver and all 26 of the smuggled immigrants were arrested.

The United States will tomorrow evacuate the 428 Americans trapped aboard a cruise ship in Japan as the number of coronavirus-infected passengers continues to climb. Two State Department planes will be dispatched to airlift the stranded citizens and their…
Two planes evacuating 340 American cruise ship passengers from #coronavirus quarantine on board the Diamond Princess cruise ship in Japan have now landed back in the U.S. after 14 evacuees were placed in isolation chambers when officials realized they had tested positive for the deadly virus. The first 747 plane touched down at Travis Air Force Base in Northern California just before 11.30pm on Sunday local time, before the second plane arrived at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas a few hours later. Fourteen U.S. evacuees had to be placed in special isolation chambers for the duration of the flights after it emerged they had been infected with coronvirus in the lead up to the evacuation. The passengers had all been deemed 'fit to fly' and were not showing symptoms before disembarking from the cruise ship. As the evacuees were being taken to the airport in Tokyo, results from tests carried out two to three days earlier came back and showed the 14 passengers had the infection.

The swollen river in Mississippi's capital city is anticipated to crest Monday at the highest level it's been in decades as the state's governor warned the danger hasn't subsided, with more rain in the forecast. Gov. Tate Reeves said at a news conference Sunday that it will be days before area residents and first responders are "out of the woods" and the water starts to recede. "This is a precarious situation that can turn at any moment," he told reporters. In one Jackson neighborhood, residents paddled canoes, kayaks, and small fishing boats to check on their houses. Floodwaters could be seen lapping at mailboxes, street signs, and cars that had been left in driveways. One to two feet of water was also seeping into homes on Monday morning. Over the weekend, business owners in downtown Jackson said they had not seen the water rise so high in decades.
