Two dead in Santa Ana after wrong-way driver slams into oncoming traffic
Two people were killed when a high-speed, wrong-way driver slammed into oncoming traffic in Santa Ana on Monday afternoon, causing a five-car crash that left several others hospitalized. It happened at around 6:40 p.m. in the 2200 block of S. Main Street, according to the Santa Ana Police Department. Investigators believe that one of the drivers, behind the wheel of a gray sedan, was driving on the wrong side of the road at an extremely high rate of speed when they collided head-on with another vehicle, which was traveling southbound on Main. One of the two cars spun out and then crashed into three other vehicles. Both of the drivers, one male and one female, in the two cars involved in the initial collision died at the scene, police said. They have not yet been identified. Three other people were injured in the collision, each of which was taken to the hospital in stable condition with minor injuries, according to police. Initially, investigators believed that the grey sedan may have been street racing, but they have since determined that was not the case. They are working to determine if drunk or impaired driving was a factor. SkyCal flew over the scene of the crash at around 10 p.m., where dozens of officers could still be seen scouring the area. There was a large amount of debris strewn across the road, which was still closed.

Lowrider Lane street sign stolen from Sacramento's Miller Park
For decades, Sacramento's Miller Park has been a popular spot for cruising in cars. "When the weather's good, we come out here with our families, take a drive," said Francine Mata, president of the Sacramento Lowrider Commission. Last year, custom car clubs successfully worked with city leaders to change the name of the street that runs through the park to Lowrider Lane. But now, less than a year after the new street sign went up, it's been stolen. "It's just heartbreaking to look over there and see it's not there anymore," Mata said. Mata said her organization helped raise money to make the name change. "The community came together and donated," Mata said. "It was $10,400." She first noticed the sign missing this past Sunday and said the theft took place sometime within the last week. "I always felt that's something that you don't touch," Mata said. "It's pretty sacred for our community." Cruising had been banned in Sacramento for more than 30 years, but in 2022, the law was repealed. Mata said that renaming the street where cruisers traditionally gathered is a recognition and acceptance of Sacramento's car club history. "There are so many people that don't understand why we do what we do, don't know the culture," she said. The city said it's working on replacing the stolen sign, which will cost about $200. Mata said she has no idea if the sign was taken by a lowrider enthusiast or someone opposed to the name change. She just wants the original sign returned. "It means a lot to our entire community," she said. "Just bring it back." The city said public works crews will be placing the new street sign in a more secure bracket to deter theft.

The Making of HBO Doc ‘The Yogurt Shop Murders' Was So Traumatic That A24 Paid for Film Team's Therapy
The brutal rape and murder of four teenage girls at an Austin, Texas frozen yogurt shop is the subject of Margaret Brown's HBO docuseries 'The Yogurt Shop Murders.' The 1991 slayings of Amy Ayers, sisters Jennifer Harbison and Sarah Harbison, and Eliza Thomas mystified police, haunted the victim's families, and eventually became 'part of the fabric of Austin,' according to Brown. More from Variety Yance Ford Named Visiting Artistic Director of True/False Documentary Fest (EXCLUSIVE) Kenny Loggins Says Making a Doc About His Life and Career Was a 'Version of Therapy' Music Box Films Acquires U.S. TVOD Rights to 'Secret Mall Apartment' Documentary (EXCLUSIVE) 'It's something you can't really get away from in Austin,' said Brown. Although Brown ('Descendant') knew about the crime, the idea for a four-part docuseries came from Emma Stone and her husband Dave McCary, who used to live in Austin. The couple brought the docuseries to A24 to produce. Brown spent over three years interviewing the crime's investigative teams and the victims' parents and siblings. The director and her producing team also tracked down interrogation room footage of four teenaged boys who served time for the crime. In addition, Brown interviewed '48 Hours' correspondent Erin Moriarty, who covered the case, and documentary filmmaker Claire Huie, who attempted to make a film about the murders. Huie's abandoned footage, which is featured throughout 'The Yogurt Shop Murders,' included Interviews with the victim's family members, detectives and Robert Springsteen, one of the men who sat on death row for the crime after falsely confessing to participating in the widely publicized killings. Variety spoke with Brown about 'The Yogurt Shop Murders' ahead of the series' Aug. 3 release on HBO. One thousand percent yes. I was terrified. I didn't really know what I was getting into, to be honest. I thought, 'Oh, I've made films about deep trauma before.' I mean, a lot of my films are about horrible things that happen to people, but I wasn't really prepared for the unresolved rape and murder of teenage girls, and the effect it continues to have on (the victim's) families. I wasn't aware of the emotional weight of sitting in the rooms with (the family members) for hours at a time would have on me. Then I thought, if I'm having a hard time, just imagine what they are going through. It was just like a loop in my head. No. I knew from living in Austin and having a lot of friends who are reporters who were utterly obsessed with this case and its twists and turns that it would work. That footage was a gift. It would have been a different film without it. Claire is an incredible filmmaker, but making the film she was trying to make made her stop being a filmmaker. It consumed her, and she had to quit. Now she's a meditation teacher. Oh yeah, but he declined. When the project came to me, I asked what the (archival) footage they had, and so they sent me all this footage. It was like a David Lynch movie as a documentary. It was like 'Twin Peaks.' There was a kind of eeriness to it. I could hear the soundtrack in my head, and I had this whole idea of how I would make the series. Then I met the families, and it was like, 'Oh. I can't make it like that. I can still employ some of it, but it can't be that stylized.' It would have been a disservice to make it overly stylized. Those photos are so bad. My editorial team was like, 'You can never look at them.' They were all so traumatized by the photos. I've seen some of them, but not all of them, because (the editorial team) said, 'They will haunt you for the rest of your life.' A24 paid for some of (the film team's) therapy because it is really hard on the system if you take it in, and it's really hard not to take it in. It was hard to live in that darkness for such a long time. It was just really hard for us to make it because it was just so dark, but we thought that the right way to make the series was to look at that. Because everyone has darkness in their life, and everyone deals with trauma. This case is a pretty extreme case of people dealing with trauma, but I felt like there was something instructive about it. Each family dealt with the trauma in really different ways, and I found that fascinating.
