Toxicology Report Reveals Fatal Alcohol Levels in Tesla Cybertruck Crash

USUnited States|

A toxicology report has revealed that the driver of a Tesla Cybertruck involved in a fatal crash in Northern California had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.195%, more than twice the legal limit. The incident occurred on November 27, 2024, around 3 a.m. local time in Piedmont, resulting in the deaths of three college students—Soren Dixon, 19, Jack Nelson, 20, and Krysta Tsukahara, 19, all graduates of Piedmont High School.

The truck reportedly veered off the road, struck a tree and retaining wall, and subsequently caught fire, burning completely. In addition to the high alcohol levels, the toxicology report indicated the presence of cocaine in Dixon's system, according to the Alameda County Coroner's Office.

A fourth occupant, identified as Jordan Miller, managed to escape the burning vehicle and was taken to a hospital. Piedmont police confirmed the accident details and the ongoing investigation into the tragic event, leaving family and friends in mourning for the three victims, who were actively attending college after their recent high school graduation.

Tragic Dog Attack Claims Life of One-Month-Old in New York City

In a heartbreaking incident, a one-month-old baby girl was fatally mauled by a family dog in Long Island City, Queens, New York City, on Tuesday morning. The New York Police Department reported that the attack occurred around 6:30 AM while the infant was sleeping in bed between her mother and stepfather, as stated in a CBS News report. The family's six-month-old German Shepherd-Pit Bull mix suddenly turned violent, leading to the tragic outcome. The mother informed authorities that her child was asleep at the time of the incident. Neighbors expressed shock over the attack, describing the neighborhood as dog-friendly. “As a parent, you don’t expect your pet to attack your child,” said local resident Maria Gutierrez. Animal Control has taken custody of the dog, and local authorities are conducting an investigation, interviewing the parents involved. As of now, no charges have been filed in connection with this heart-wrenching event.

US Supreme Court Allows Trump to Revoke Legal Status for 532,000 Migrants

The US Supreme Court ruled on May 30, 2025, that President Donald Trump's administration can revoke temporary legal status for over 532,000 Venezuelan, Cuban, Haitian, and Nicaraguan migrants, facilitating accelerated deportations. This decision puts on hold a previous ruling by Boston-based U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani that had halted the administration's plans to terminate the immigration "parole" granted by Joe Biden’s administration. Two of the court's three liberal justices expressed concern, with Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissenting and highlighting the potential harm to nearly half a million noncitizens during their legal claims process. Parole, designed for urgent humanitarian reasons, allows beneficiaries to live and work in the US temporarily. Trump's administration argues that reinstating these protections complicates immigration enforcement efforts. This ruling follows Trump's January 20 executive order aimed at ending humanitarian parole programs. The Department of Homeland Security's initiative to revoke the status supports the administration's push towards a rapid deportation process known as expedited removal, impacting those previously sheltered under Biden's policies.

Three Massive Asteroids Could Be Headed Toward Earth, Scientists Warn

A new study published in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics indicates that three large asteroids, identified as 2020 SB, 524522, and 2002 CL1, may be on a collision course with Earth in the coming weeks. Researchers, led by Valerio Carruba of São Paulo State University in Brazil, noted that while these asteroids currently orbit Venus, they are virtually undetectable from Earth due to their position behind the Sun. This “cosmic blind spot” raises concerns about last-minute detection. According to the study, while there is currently no immediate threat to Venus, even a minor gravitational disturbance could redirect these asteroids toward Earth, potentially resulting in catastrophic impacts. A collision could create a crater more than 3 kilometers wide, releasing energy equivalent to a million times that of the Hiroshima atomic bomb. Researchers from the Rubin Observatory in Chile highlighted the urgent need for early detection, stating that identifying such asteroids only two to four weeks before impact is insufficient for comprehensive defense or evacuation measures.
