Slow and Furious: Patrons scramble out of the way as SUV rolls into Long Island sidewalk eatery
It was a slow-motion mishap.

A few stunned patrons quickly jumped out of the way as the vehicle rolled forward and came to a stop against the storefront after shattering the shop's plate-glass window — with the right turn signal on the SUV still blinking.

Nobody was injured in the bizarre mishap, with Sag Harbor Police Chief Robert Drake telling local outlet 27east.com it was 'a miracle' that no one was injured in the slow-motion collision.
Sag Harbor police did not return calls for comment on the incident, and it is unclear if the driver of the ill-fated Honda was charged or issued citations for the incident.
The scene of the mishap is just steps away from Sag Harbor's famed American Hotel, where crooner and actor Justin Timberlake pounded down drinks before getting busted for drunken driving last year.

Tom Felton To Play Draco Malfoy In ‘Cursed Child' On Broadway—How To Buy Tickets
While the role of Draco Malfoy has yet to be cast in HBO's upcoming Harry Potter TV series, original actor Tom Felton isn't giving up his wand just yet. After starring in all eight movies of the original blockbuster film series from 2001 to 2011, Felton is now making his Broadway debut in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. This casting marks the first time anyone from the original films has appeared in the stage production. Felton will play the adult version of Draco at the Lyric Theatre in New York City, beginning Nov. 11 for a 19-week run through March 22, 2026. 'Being a part of the Harry Potter films has been one of the greatest honors of my life," he said in a statement. "Joining this production will be a full-circle moment for me, because when I begin performances in Cursed Child this fall, I'll also be the exact age Draco is in the play.' The news was first announced on Today on Thursday, June 5, where the actor revealed that his casting is 'very much a pinch-me' situation. 'I keep thinking I'm dreaming. I let go of that character 16 years ago, and now getting a chance to step back into his shoes — as a father this time, in a new story — I get to meet Draco as an adult, which is very exciting.' Over on Instagram, Felton and the official Harry Potter and the Cursed Child accounts shared a first look at Felton in his black robes and sleek blonde hairstyle, resembling his on-screen father, Lucius Malfoy (Jason Isaacs). Felton admitted he "cried" when he tried on the character's platinum wig again after so long, considering how deeply the franchise shaped his childhood. "I've been very excited to share this news, and I had to keep it under wraps for quite a while," the 37-year-old added. Want to buy tickets to see Felton as Draco in the historic role? Here's what to know about securing seats during the 19-week run.

Rowling, John Tiffany, and Thorne. The plot takes place 19 years after the events of J.K. Rowling's novel Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Harry is now an adult, married to Ginny Weasley, and serves as the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement at the Ministry of Magic. He has three children, including Albus, who is beginning his journey at Hogwarts. After being sorted into Slytherin, Albus struggles with the weight of his family legacy. The play debuted in London's West End in the summer of 2016. Chris Columbus, the director behind the first two Harry Potter films, told The Hollywood Reporter in 2021 that he would be open to directing an adaptation of the stage sequel featuring the original main cast – Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson – as their adult counterparts. "A version of Cursed Child with Dan, Rupert and Emma at the right age, it's cinematic bliss. If you're a film nerd or cinephile, it's kind of like what J.J. Abrams did with Star Wars... There's no question if you're a Star Wars fan, you were moved just seeing them on screen, seeing Harrison Ford as Han Solo again — and Chewy," he said. "I think that would be the same situation for Harry Potter fans. To able to actually see these adult actors now back in these roles? Oh, yeah. It would be amazingly fun to make that film — or two films," Columbus added.

Climber dies from 3,000 feet fall at Denali National Park
A Seattle man who was ascending a climbing route at Denali National Park in Alaska fell 3,000 feet to his death on June 2, the National Park Service said. Alex Chiu, 41, was climbing along the West Buttress route with two others when he fell from Squirrel Point towards the Peters Glacier icecap. His body was recovered two days later, NPS said in a news release on June 4. The group was ski mountaineering, which involves climbing uphill before skiing back downhill. Chiu was not using a rope at the time of the fall, officials said. Denali National Park encompasses more than six million acres of Alaska's wilderness. Mount McKinley, the park's highest peak at more than 20,000 feet, is also the tallest mountain in North America, according to NPS. Falls are the No. 1 cause of death at the park, according to NPS. Over 120 climbers have died at the park since 1932, a spokesperson told USA TODAY in 2022. Along the West Buttress route's treacherous upper portion, at least 14 climbers have died since 1980, NPS said in 2024. Chiu's body was recovered two days after the fatal fall and was transferred to the state medical examiner, NPS said. The two other climbers who were with Chiu at the time of the fall said they lowered over the edge of the peak as far as possible but could not hear or see him. They descended the route to seek help, the release said. Search crews couldn't immediately reach the site by ground or air because of high winds and snow. Once weather began to clear on June 4, rangers searched the area via an aerial helicopter and were able to recover Chiu's body, NPS said. Chiu was an aerospace engineer, according to his LinkedIn profile. In an Instagram post on May 19, Chiu said he spent most weekends alpine climbing before the COVID-19 pandemic. "When I am in the mountains, I realize I was at my best, I was smart, witty, passionate, and bold," he wrote. He said he mostly stopped climbing in the aftermath of the pandemic, but in recent years, began growing more interested in returning to the sport. "So tomorrow I am getting on an airplane to Alaska, in an attempt to climb the third highest peak in the world because I don't want to know what happens to a dream deferred…," he wrote.

Ryan Lochte breaks silence on ‘difficult decision' behind divorce from wife Kayla Rae Reid
Famed Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte is opening up about his divorce from wife Kayla Rae Reid after seven years of marriage. In the wake of the former Playboy model's divorce revelation Wednesday, the 12-time Olympic medalist broke his silence in a candid Instagram post, expressing that while the decision 'hasn't been easy,' he believes 'it's the right step toward peace and well-being' for himself and Reid. 5 Ryan Lochte and Kayla Rae Reid revealed their divorce in June 2025. WireImage 'I want to take a moment to acknowledge what Kayla shared. This past year has brought major changes for both of us as we've come to the difficult decision to end our marriage,' the 40-year-old Lochte penned. 'I'm deeply grateful for the life we've built together and especially for the love we share for our three children. 'Although this decision hasn't been easy, I believe it's the right step toward peace and well-being for us both. I remain committed to healing, growth, and co-parenting with care and respect as we move forward separately.' 5 They have three children together. ryanlochte/Instagram Reid, who shares daughters Liv, 5, Georgia, 1, and 7-year-old son Caiden with Lochte, announced Wednesday she and the six-time Olympic gold medalist had gone their separate ways. 'Earlier this year, I made the hard decision to end my marriage after deep prayer and reflection,' she posted on social media. 'I hold marriage in the highest regard, so this has been one of the most painful, revealing, and challenging seasons of my life. I've been hesitant to share until I could do so from a place of healing — not from fresh, open wounds.' 5 Ryan Lochte and Kayla Rae Reid tied the knot in 2018. kaylaraereid/Instagram The message from Reid came roughly two months after she filed for divorce on March 26, according to People, citing court records. 'Sometimes we face trials we didn't choose or see coming. And in those moments, we're forced to make the hardest decisions to protect our peace, our children, and our future. I've come to the understanding that staying isn't always the most loving decision someone can make. For me, leaving was an act of love — for those around me and for myself,' Reid added in her message. 5 Court records show Kayla Rae Reid filed for divorce in March 2025. kaylaraereid/Instagram 'Living with transparency and authenticity has been how I have grown into the person I am today, and I'll continue to do so — while also protecting the parts of this journey that are private and unfolding in uncharted territory.' Lochte concluded his message Wednesday by thanking loved ones for their 'continued support' as he and Reid navigate new waters. 5 Ryan Lochte is a 12-time Olympic medalist. AFP/Getty Images 'It truly means a lot as we begin this next chapter,' he shared. Lochte married Reid in 2018 — two years after he found himself at the center of international controversy for falsely claiming he and teammates had been robbed at gunpoint during the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. He was dropped by sponsors in the aftermath and hit with a 10-month suspension from USA Swimming. Lochte expressed gratitude for Reid at the time as she stayed by his side through the scandal. 'Through everything that's happened, we've established ups and downs [that] most people establish in a relationship in 20 years. We did it in a matter of almost a year,' Lochte told 'Entertainment Tonight' in 2016. 'She stuck right there by me and just was my rock. That's when I knew. I was like, 'I'm not letting this one go.'' The pair got engaged in 2016.
