    CRESSWELL QUAY, Wales — Heartbreak has swept through the local community following the tragic death of 18-year-old Sally Allen, who lost her life in a road traffic collision while returning from the Royal Welsh Show.

    Sally, a beloved resident of The Nook, Cresswell Quay, was driving a red Renault Clio when she was involved in a collision with a blue Audi Q5 around 8:00 a.m. on Wednesday, July 23, near Broadoak, between Carmarthen and Llandeilo.

    The road was closed for several hours to allow for a detailed investigation but has since reopened.

    Sally’s tragic passing has sent shockwaves through her home village and beyond. Known for her warm spirit, compassion, and deep love of horses and country life, she has been remembered as a bright and kind young woman who touched many lives.

    The Reynalton Village Facebook group, which first shared news of her passing, posted a heartfelt tribute, saying:

    “Sally was the kind of person who made you feel seen and cared for. She had a natural connection with animals and a deep-rooted love for the countryside. This is a devastating loss for all who knew her.”

    To honor Sally’s memory and support her grieving family, a Eucharist service will be held at Jeffreyston Church at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 26, led by Father Paul. The local community is encouraged to attend and show their support.

    Meanwhile, Dyfed-Powys Police continue to investigate the collision and are appealing for any witnesses or dashcam footage from motorists traveling along the A40 in that area at the time of the crash.

    A spokesperson for the force said:

    “Anyone who was traveling along this road at the relevant time and has dash camera footage is urged to contact us. Please call 101 and quote reference: 075 of the 23rd.”

    As the community gathers to mourn and remember Sally, many are also calling for improved road safety measures along rural routes such as the A40. For now, hearts remain heavy as friends and neighbors grieve the loss of a young life taken far too soon.

    UPDATE: Search for 10-Year-Old Trinity Eslinger Concludes After Six Days

    DESTIN, Fla. — After an exhaustive six-day search covering more than 250 square miles by air, land, and sea, the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office has announced it will conclude active search operations for 10-year-old Trinity Eslinger at the end of July 24.

    Trinity was last seen around 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 12, near the Destin East Pass, a popular but unpredictable stretch of water where swift currents meet the Gulf of Mexico. Despite the coordinated efforts of multiple local, state, and federal agencies, as well as numerous volunteer groups, Trinity has not been located.

    “Our hearts are heavy, and this is not the outcome anyone hoped for,” said Sheriff Eric Aden. “We are deeply grateful to every agency, volunteer, and community member who gave their all in this search. Our thoughts and prayers are with Trinity’s family during this unimaginable time.”

    While dedicated search assets are being scaled back, deputies will continue to patrol the area as part of routine operations, and the Sheriff’s Office remains committed to pursuing any new leads or information that may surface. The hope of bringing Trinity home remains alive in the hearts of all involved.

    Over the past week, more than forty dives were conducted as part of the mission, which extended from the south end of Choctawhatchee Bay through the East Pass and into the Gulf of Mexico. Specialized units used boats, helicopters, sonar, dive equipment, and ground crews in unified coordination.

    The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office expressed its deepest gratitude to the following agencies and organizations for their assistance:

    • Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC)
    • United States Coast Guard (USCG)
    • Eglin Air Force Base
    • Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE)
    • Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office
    • Alabama Florida Helicopter Patrol
    • Destin Fire Department
    • North Bay Fire Department
    • United Cajun Navy

    The Sheriff’s Office also extended heartfelt thanks to the many volunteers and community members who contributed time, effort, and support.

    As the community comes to terms with this painful moment, officials urge everyone to continue keeping Trinity and her family in their thoughts and prayers. Though the physical search has paused, the emotional and spiritual support of the community remains critical in the days ahead.

    Anyone with information related to Trinity’s disappearance is still encouraged to contact the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office.

    The crash came to light on the morning of Monday, July 21, when a utility worker operating in the area noticed a motorcycle and the body of a man lying in a ditch. Authorities were alerted at approximately 9:15 a.m., and first responders quickly arrived on scene.

  • Bessemer Woman Mauled to Death in Tragic Dog Attack; Fourth Fatal Mauling in Alabama This Year

    Bessemer Woman Mauled to Death in Tragic Dog Attack; Fourth Fatal Mauling in Alabama This Year

    BESSEMER, Ala. — A devastating incident has claimed the life of Delores M. Musgrove, a 50-year-old resident of Adger, Alabama, who was fatally attacked by a group of dogs in Bessemer. Authorities confirmed her death on Friday, July 25, 2025, following a harrowing scene that has left the community shaken and grieving.

    The attack occurred early Thursday morning in the 100 block of Martin Street. At approximately 7 a.m., Bessemer police responded to a call reporting a person lying unresponsive in a grassy area. Upon arrival, officers discovered Musgrove’s body and pronounced her deceased at the scene by 7:28 a.m., according to Detective Justin Burmeister.

    An autopsy later confirmed that Musgrove died as a result of a vicious dog attack involving multiple animals, said Chief Deputy Coroner Bill Yates. The specific breeds and ownership of the dogs involved have not yet been made public.

    Delores’s death marks at least the fourth fatal dog mauling in Alabama in 2024, and the second such tragedy in the same week. Just days earlier, a 7-year-old boy was fatally mauled in Chilton County, leading to the euthanization of nine dogs surrendered to authorities. Earlier this year, Alabama also mourned the deaths of a six-month-old baby girl in Alabaster and a 46-year-old woman in Tuscaloosa County, both victims of brutal dog attacks under different circumstances.

    Delores M. Musgrove is remembered as a woman taken far too soon by a senseless and tragic act. Her loss has reignited urgent conversations around public safety, animal control, and the responsibilities of pet ownership. Each of the recent dog attack victims were in places they should have felt safe — near their homes, helping others, or simply going about their daily routines.

    Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding Musgrove’s death, including whether any criminal negligence may have contributed. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Bessemer Police Department at 205-425-2411, the Tip Line at 205-428-3541, or Crime Stoppers at 205-254-7777.

    As her family mourns the heartbreaking loss of Delores, the community is left searching for answers and a renewed sense of urgency to prevent further tragedies.
