CHARLES COUNTY, Md. — A devastating crash on U.S. Route 301 claimed the life of a young man from Chester, Maryland, and has prompted a detailed investigation by state and local authorities.

Andrew Ring, 26, was pronounced dead at the scene after the vehicle he was driving collided with the back of a freightliner truck on Tuesday afternoon. According to Maryland State Police (MSP), Ring was operating a Subaru Legacy that, for reasons still under investigation, failed to slow down and struck the rear of a semi-trailer stopped in traffic.

The crash occurred at approximately 2:43 p.m. on the northbound side of Route 301, just south of Route 257. The freightliner truck was being operated by 55-year-old Otis Coates, of College Park, who remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators.

Due to the severity and circumstances surrounding the collision, a specialized crash reconstruction team was dispatched. The MSP Crash Team, along with the Maryland State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division and Charles County Sheriff’s Office, are actively working to determine the cause of the fatal impact.

Authorities have not yet determined why Ring did not brake or take evasive action before the collision. Investigators are examining all possible factors, including vehicle condition, roadway circumstances, and driver behavior.

Maryland State Police are asking anyone who witnessed the incident or may have relevant information to come forward. Witnesses can contact TFC A. Sabock at the MSP La Plata Barrack by calling (301) 392-1200 or emailing ashley.sabock@maryland.gov.

Chase Childers, of Dallas, Georgia, lived a life marked by courage, compassion, and service. On Sunday, his final act of bravery would etch his name forever in the hearts of those who knew him — and in the legacy of true heroes.

Chase wasn’t just any man. He was a former professional baseball player with the Baltimore Orioles. A decorated Cobb County police officer who had previously received a Life Saving Award. A talented fisherman. A gifted builder. But these titles pale in comparison to the roles he cherished most — that of a devoted husband, loving father, son, brother, and loyal friend.

He and his wife Nataley had a rare love — the kind that starts in middle school and weathers life’s seasons side by side. Together, they built a beautiful family with three beloved children.

Tragically, it was in the act of protecting another family that Chase made his final stand. While vacationing at Pawleys Island, South Carolina, Chase saw a family of five caught in a powerful rip current. Without hesitation, he ran into the water — driven by his first responder instincts and an unwavering sense of duty to help others.

With the help of another bystander, Chase successfully rescued the struggling family. But the ocean, relentless and cruel, had other plans. Chase was pulled under by the current. Despite an intensive search effort, his body was recovered by the Coast Guard nearly 90 minutes later.

He died as he lived — putting others first.

His heroism was not abstract or ceremonial. It was immediate, sacrificial, and profoundly human. His wife and children witnessed the ultimate measure of his love — not just for them, but for people he had never even met.

Chase Childers is a name that deserves to be remembered. For his bravery. For his heart. For the life he lived and the lives he saved.

He is a reminder that real heroes walk among us — and sometimes, they run into the waves.

Georgia —Authorities in Bibb County are actively searching for 18-year-old Nicholas Floyd, who is accused of a violent and disturbing crime spree that left one woman seriously injured, a house destroyed, and a child briefly taken hostage.

The chaos began on Tuesday when deputies were called to a home on Log Cabin Drive near Presidential Parkway in west Macon, where they discovered a 52-year-old woman suffering from gunshot wounds. After an initial investigation, officials determined the woman had actually been shot about four miles away on Madden Avenue, at a separate location that had since been set on fire.

In response, the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office, with the assistance of a SWAT team, initiated a high-risk operation. Officers forcibly entered the home and successfully rescued the child, who was found physically unharmed and safely reunited with family. However, Floyd had already fled the scene.

As of now, Nicholas Floyd remains at large and is considered armed and extremely dangerous. Authorities are warning residents not to approach him if seen and to report any sightings immediately.

The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone with information about Floyd’s whereabouts to call 478-751-7500, or contact the Macon Regional Crimestoppers at 1-877-68CRIME (1-877-682-7463). Anonymous tips are welcome and could be crucial in bringing this situation to a safe resolution.

ANAHEIM, Calif. — A high-speed police pursuit turned deadly early Wednesday morning when a vehicle carrying five burglary suspects crashed on the northbound 5 Freeway in Anaheim, leaving three people dead and two others critically injured.

The incident began around 2:45 a.m. when Anaheim Police officers responded to reports of suspicious activity near Malboro Avenue, close to Euclid Street and La Palma Avenue. According to Sgt. Matt Sutter of the Anaheim Police Department, officers arrived to find individuals actively removing parts from a parked vehicle. When officers attempted to intervene, the suspects fled the scene in a black sedan, accelerating at a dangerously high speed.

The pursuit was brief but intense. It came to a catastrophic end near Brookhurst Street at approximately 3:00 a.m., when the driver lost control of the vehicle. The car careened off the freeway and slammed into an embankment, coming to rest against a pole. Footage from AIR7 captured the aftermath, showing the vehicle mangled beyond recognition—metal twisted, windows shattered, and debris scattered across the shoulder.

Of the five individuals inside the car, three were pronounced dead at the scene. The two surviving occupants were rushed to a local hospital—one in critical condition, the other in stable condition, authorities confirmed. Their identities have not yet been released pending notification of next of kin.

Miraculously, no other vehicles or bystanders were involved or injured in the crash.

The incident caused a major disruption to morning traffic. All northbound lanes of the 5 Freeway were initially shut down, creating significant delays for early commuters. By mid-morning, the carpool and far-left lane were reopened, but officials stated that the remaining lanes would likely stay closed for several hours as the investigation and cleanup continued.

The Anaheim Police Department and California Highway Patrol are jointly investigating the incident. Authorities are working to determine the exact sequence of events, including whether the suspects may have had any outstanding warrants or were linked to other crimes in the area.

This tragedy serves as a stark reminder of the dangers involved in high-speed pursuits and the irreversible consequences that can result from fleeing law enforcement.

Nova Scotia is in mourning after the tragic passing of Sherry Ward on July 14 2025, a beloved member of the Harley Owners Group Central Chapter Nova Scotia (HOG CCNS) and a cherished friend, sister, and inspiration to many in the motorcycle community and beyond.

On Saturday, June 28th, during what was meant to be a joyful and spirited group ride to Cape Breton, tragedy struck. The Central Chapter had embarked on a journey together—a celebration of freedom, friendship, and the open road. But in a devastating moment, an elderly driver crossed the yellow line, veering into the path of the riders. Sherry was struck head-on, while several others narrowly avoided the collision. What followed was a nightmare that no one could have imagined.

Sherry was initially rushed to Antigonish Hospital and later airlifted to the QEII Health Sciences Centre in Halifax, where she was admitted to the ICU in critical condition. The entire HOG community and countless friends across Nova Scotia and Canada held their breath, prayed, and rallied in support. A fundraising campaign was started to help cover her mounting medical and financial needs, a reflection of how deeply people cared for her and how far her influence had reached.

Despite the best efforts of medical staff and an outpouring of love and support, Sherry was later moved to palliative care, and with heavy hearts, her loved ones had to say goodbye. Her passing has left a deep wound in the hearts of all who knew her.

Sherry Ward was so much more than a biker—she was a force of nature. She was strong, independent, fearless, and filled with warmth. Known affectionately as a badass female rider, Sherry wasn’t afraid to be herself. She embraced life with passion, brought joy wherever she went, and made every ride, every conversation, and every gathering more vibrant and memorable. She was the kind of woman who lit up a room, or a roadside, with laughter, strength, and a genuine heart.

She lived life full throttle, and she loved bringing others along for the ride. Whether it was cruising along Nova Scotia’s coastlines, grabbing coffee with friends, or just offering a word of encouragement, Sherry lived boldly and gave freely. She made everyone feel like family, and she will always be remembered for her magnetic personality and unwavering loyalty.

Her HOG CCNS family is devastated by this loss. In their words:

“Sister Sherry, you will always be in our hearts. You were warm, loving, fun, and always up for a good time. You lived a passionate life, and we were lucky to ride beside you. You will be missed—terribly. All our love.”

As Nova Scotia grieves, the outpouring of support continues. Tributes, photos, and memories have flooded social media—each one a testament to the lives she touched and the love she gave. The road ahead will feel emptier without her, but her spirit will ride on in every mile, every engine’s hum, and every sunlit highway.

We send our deepest condolences to Sherry’s family, friends, and her HOG CCNS family. Thank you for sharing her with the world.

Ride in peace, Sister Sherry. The road is yours now, forever.
