Licking County crash near Granville kills Newark man, injures two people
A Newark man is dead and two others suffered injuries in a crash near Granville in Licking County, the Ohio State Highway Patrol said. The crash happened at 6:56 p.m. Aug. 19, on State Route 661 between Smoketown Road and Lake Fork Road, a highway patrol lieutenant said. A northbound Honda Civic on State Route 661 left the right side of the road before returning and crossing the center line into southbound lanes, the highway patrol said. A Jeep wrangler driving south on State Route 661 swerved to avoid the Honda, but the vehicles collided, according to the highway patrol. The Honda overturned, ejecting two occupants. The Jeep struck a mailbox at the side of the road. William Coss, 46, of Newark, died at the scene, the highway patrol said. A 37-year-old Newark woman was transported to Licking Memorial Hospital with "life-threatening" injuries. A highway patrol lieutenant said Coss and the woman were in the Honda, but it wasn't clear which one of them was driving because they were ejected. Investigators collected evidence from the Honda's interior to determine who was in the driver's seat, the lieutenant said. EMS treated and released the Jeep driver, a 55-year-old woman from Newark, at the scene, according to the highway patrol.

Toll evaders caught in 100th ghost plate enforcement action
NEW YORK (PIX11) — Drivers with unpaid tolls, ghost plates, and license plate covers have been on notice. Police are looking for them and ready to write tickets or even seize vehicles. A 16-member law enforcement task force held the 100th operation on the Robert F. Kennedy Triborough Bridge on Tuesday. Officials have called it 'a coordinated regional effort.' More Local News It was first organized in March 2024 as the number of ghost plates and unbilled tolls increased. Congestion pricing was also initially to be implemented in 2024. Since the program began, law enforcement around New York state has used license plate readers to scan vehicles on bridges, tunnels, and some roadways. Units stop the drivers for unpaid tolls, obstructed plates, or other infractions. Stolen cars and suspects with warrants have also been found. Sometimes, summonses are written. Arrests can also be made in certain cases. More: Latest News from Around the Tri-State Officials with MTA Bridges and Tunnels report the number of unbillable tolls is down 20% at MTA crossings. Around 5,300 vehicles have been seized by the task force in the past 17 months, and 1,300 arrests have been made. About 50,000 summonses have been issued to drivers. Since the beginning of 2025, 38 enforcement operations have resulted in 1,893 towed vehicles with collections of approximately $11.5 million in unpaid tolls, fees, judgments, and debts owed to task force partner agencies. 'The coordination between B&T officers and our regional law enforcement partners has resulted in increased accountability on our roads,' said MTA Bridges and Tunnels President Catherine Sheridan. When congestion pricing took effect in January 2025, the role of the task force expanded to include operations targeting vehicles committing violations in and around the Congestion Relief Zone south of 60th Street. There have been 11 operations within the zone, which have resulted in 97 towed vehicles. Agencies involved in the joint enforcement operations include: MTA Bridges and Tunnels (TBTA) MTA Police Department New York Police Department New York State Police Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police Department NYC Sheriff NYS Department of Environmental Conservation Police NYC Business Integrity Commission New York State Department of Motor Vehicles US Park Police NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission Suffolk County Sheriff's Office Suffolk County Police Department Nassau County Police Department Clarkstown NY Police Department Westchester County Police Department Submit tips to police by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477), visiting downloading the NYPD Crime Stoppers mobile app, or texting 274637 (CRIMES) then entering TIP577.

MTA is cracking down on assaults of transit passengers and operators
A new law taking effect in October will allow the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) to suspend or ban those for assaulting passengers and transit operators. "Nationwide, there has been an increase in assaults against operators, and we want to make sure that our operators feel safe and secure," said Maryland Transit Administrator Holly Arnold. Arnold hopes new rules will bring safer rides for its customers. "We have about 100,000 riders every single day," Arnold said. "So, it's a small percentage that are experiencing those things. It's, you know, about 0.2%." The Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) launched "Rules of the Ride," a new public awareness campaign encouraging riders to review updates in its Rider Code of Conduct. "It just outlines a very small amount of crimes that can take place on the system – assault, sexual harassment, sexual assault, that will or can result in a temporary or a permanent ban," Arnold said. The Rider Code of Conduct organizes expectations into three easy-to-understand categories: Arnold said the agency has primarily seen common assaults. Just last week, MTA Police say a fight on a bus led to shots being fired in the Franklintown Road area. No one was hurt. Earlier this month, a Baltimore man was convicted of fatally shooting a passenger on an MTA bus in downtown Baltimore in 2024. Arnold said a new policy, thanks to a new law taking effect in October, will help prevent future offenders. She said MTA police will investigate these crimes and determine if a rider ban is necessary. "It's one more way to make sure we are encouraging our riders and our operators to understand what's allowed and feel safe," Arnold said. Any rider who experiences a safety concern while using transit is encouraged to report it immediately to the operator or station attendant onsite or Maryland Transit Police at 410-454-7720. This fall, MTA also plans to launch a mobile app giving riders another way to support safety concerns.
