Man arrested, allegedly confesses to leaving scene of fatal crash that killed Plano woman, police say
A man was arrested after allegedly confessing to leaving the scene of a fatal crash that killed a woman early Saturday morning, the Richardson Police Department confirmed.
Richardson PD said at about 4:50 a.m., officers responded to a reported crash involving a motorcycle in the 2400 block of North Central Expressway. Officers identified the woman who was driving the motorcycle as 27-year-old Cody Morris, of Plano. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Officers said at that time, no other vehicles or people were located at the crash scene.
Less than an hour later, the Plano Police Department received a phone call from a man, identified as 25-year-old Kelvin Joseph Jr., of Allen, who said he'd been involved in the crash that killed Morris.
Richardson PD contacted Joseph and determined he was driving northbound on North Central Expressway in a BMW when he was involved in a crash with the motorcycle. Police said while speaking to Joseph, officers "observed signs of intoxication."
Joseph was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated and collision involving personal injury or death, police said. His bond information has not been released.
The Richardson Police Department's Special Crash Investigation Team is currently investigating the case. Anyone with information is asked to call the department at 972-744-4944.

Former NFL player Kelvin Joseph facing charges after crash that killed motorcyclist
DALLAS — Former NFL player Kelvin Joseph is facing charges for his involvement in a crash that killed a female motorcyclist on a Dallas-area freeway, The Dallas Morning News reported. Police in the Dallas suburb of Richardson said on social media that Joseph, who has been playing in the United Football League this spring, called police in Plano, another Dallas suburb, to report his involvement in the predawn crash Saturday. The 25-year-old Joseph, who was driving a BMW, was arrested on charges of driving while intoxicated, a misdemeanor, and collision involving personal injury or death, a second-degree felony. Police said 27-year-old Cody Morris of Plano was killed in the crash. Joseph was drafted by the Cowboys in 2021 and spent two seasons with them before he was traded to Miami. He also played briefly for Seattle and Indianapolis. The cornerback has been playing for the DC Defenders, who were set to play in a UFL conference championship game Sunday. The UFL said in a statement sent to Dallas TV station WFAA that it was aware of Joseph's arrest, but declined further comment. During the 2022 offseason with the Cowboys, Joseph was the passenger in an SUV from which two people fired shots into a group of men in Dallas, fatally striking one of the men in the head. Police concluded Joseph wasn't the shooter, and the NFL didn't suspend him. An attorney who previously represented Joseph didn't return a phone call from The Dallas Morning News. It wasn't immediately clear whether Joseph had an attorney following his arrest Saturday. ___ AP NFL:

Lithium-Ion batteries cause fire in Hernando County home: HCFR
BROOKSVILLE, Fla. (WFLA) — A fire broke out in a Brooksville residence Saturday afternoon after lithium-ion batteries were left charging inside the home. Hernando County Fire Rescue responded to the 800 block of Live Oak Drive to find smoke billowing out from the front door. Two people were inside the home at the time but escaped safely with no injuries. As an important safety reminder, continuously charging lithium-ion batteries can cause the battery to fail, which creates a very deadly gas release that can not only incapacitate people but also overheat and spontaneously catch fire.
