Post Malone was involved in a minor crash early Friday in California, just weeks after he aboard a plane that made an emergency landing in New York, CBS Los Angeles reports. The hip-hop artist was uninjured. Post Malone's white Rolls Royce was T-boned by a Kia at 2:45 a.m. local time in West Hollywood, police said. The 23-year-old rapper's assistant was driving, while Post Malone was in the passenger's seat. There was a couple and another man in the Kia, CBS Los Angeles reports. They also were not injured. But the frequency of accidents he's been involved in wasn't lost on Post Malone. "First almost a plane, now almost a car," he remarked to the news station. "God must hate me lol," he wrote in a tweet after the accident. The rapper, whose given name is Austin Richard Post, looked "stoic" as he watched police look over the crash site, according to CBS Los Angeles. "Oh yeah, I'm fine," he said.

Cameras can catch cars that run red lights, but that doesn’t make streets safer
The automobile is a killer. In the U.S., 36,675 people died in traffic accidents in 2014. The year before, 2.3 million people were injured in traffic accidents. During the past decade, over 438 U.S. municipalities, including 36 of the 50 most populous cities, have employed electronic monitoring programs in order to reduce the number of accidents. Red light camera programs specifically target drivers that run red lights. In a study I co-authored with economist Paul J. Fisher, we examined all police-recorded traffic accidents for three large Texas cities over a 12-year period – hundreds of thousands of accidents. We found no evidence that red light cameras improve public safety. They don’t reduce the total number of vehicle accidents, the total number of individuals injured in accidents or the total number of incapacitating injuries that involve ambulance transport to a hospital. RED LIGHT CAMERAS In a red light camera program, a camera is installed in a location where it … [Read more...] about Cameras can catch cars that run red lights, but that doesn’t make streets safer
Survivor speaks out after multi-car crash kills man, 4 daughters
PHILADELPHIA — One survivor of a deadly multi-car crash in Townsend, Delaware on Friday is speaking about the chaotic moments before the impact and also about the trauma of surviving a horrific incident. CBS Philadelphia reports that moments before a Ford F-350 pickup truck slammed into a minivan, killing five members of the same family, it plowed into 24-year-old Brian Kern's Mercury Sable. Kern had been driving back to Bethlehem from a weeklong vacation in Virginia Beach. The wreck happened around 4 p.m. Friday on Route 1 when, for unknown reasons, 44-year-old Alvin Hubbard crossed over the grassy center median and started driving the wrong direction.
