Three Killed in South Florida Turnpike Crash Involving Semi-Truck
According to the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP), the crash occurred near the 171-mile marker, just south of the St. Lucie County north border. The victims, who were traveling in a black 2015 Chrysler Town & Country van, included a 30-year-old man from Florida City, a 37-year-old woman from Pompano Beach, and a 54-year-old man from Miami. Their names have not yet been released.
The truck, a blue 2024 International semi tractor-trailer carrying a box trailer, was traveling north with two men from California, aged 25 and 28, who were unharmed.
FHP said the crash happened just before 3 p.m. Monday. The semi attempted a U-turn from the outside lane into a restricted area along the Turnpike. As it crossed all northbound lanes, the van in the inside lane could not avoid the truck and became wedged under the left side of the trailer.

MSNBC Name Change Mercilessly Mocked as ‘One of the Worst Branding Disasters in Media History'
"MSNBC's horrible rebrand is going to bring Americans together again," one social media user jokes Versant's Monday announcement that MSNBC will be rebranded as MS NOW (My Source News Opinion World) has generated comparisons online to Warner Bros. Discovery's multiple HBO name changes in recent years and has been met with widespread derision. The rebrand comes as parent company Comcast plans to spin off its cable news channels into a new company called Versant. When that plan was originally announced, there were concerns that MSNBC's separation from NBCUniversal would result in it losing its easily identifiable name. More from TheWrap MSNBC Name Change Mercilessly Mocked as 'One of the Worst Branding Disasters in Media History' Spike Lee's Colin Kaepernick Docuseries Scrapped at ESPN Due to 'Creative Differences' David Geffen Responds to Ex-Husband's 'Ludicrous and Contrived' Lawsuit: 'Petty Gossip and Salacious Lies' State Department Papers Found on Alaska Hotel Printer Include Sensitive Details of Trump's Summit With Putin Those concerns were temporarily dispelled when Versant's prospective CEO Mark Lazarus told staffers in January that they did not have to worry about the network changing its name. Now, not only is MSNBC rebranding, but its name change also brings with it a new logo that does not feature the NBC Peacock logo that has long helped identify the network as part of the NBCUniversal family. 'This name further underscores our mission: to serve as your destination for breaking news and thoughtful analysis and remain the home for the perspectives that you've relied on for nearly 30 years,' the network wrote in an official statement shared Monday morning. 'For our viewers who have watched us for decades, it may be hard to imagine this network by any other name,' the statement continued. 'We understand. But our promise to you remains as it always has. You know who we are, and what we do.' Social media users were swift to express their displeasure with the change. One user on X called it 'one of the worst branding disasters in media history' and wrote that the new MS NOW logo 'looks like it belongs on a discount computer from 1998.' Another user vowed that, much like how they refused to call HBO Max just 'Max' after it was temporarily rebranded, they will 'never call [MSNBC] the new name.' 'This rebrand leaves me a little speechless,' a different user also admitted on X, while another user joked that 'MSNBC's horrible rebrand is going to bring Americans together again.'

Vanguard Plans for Its Costliest ETFs Yet in Active Push
(Bloomberg) -- Vanguard Group has filed plans with the Securities and Exchange Commission for its priciest exchange-traded funds yet as the asset management giant seeks to beef up its actively managed lineup. The Vanguard Wellington Dividend Growth Active ETF (ticker VDIG), the Vanguard Wellington US Growth Active ETF (VUSG), and the Vanguard Wellington US Value Active ETF (VUSV) will carry expense ratios of 0.40%, 0.35% and 0.30%, respectively, according to Vanguard spokesperson. Currently, multi-sector bond fund VGMS ranks as Vanguard's costliest ETF with a 0.30% fee. A Photographer's Pipe Dream: Capturing New York's Vast Water System A London Apartment Tower With Echoes of Victorian Rail and Ancient Rome Festivals and Parades Are Canceled Amid US Immigration Anxiety Princeton Plans New Budget Cuts as Pressure From Trump Builds Jack Bogle-founded Vanguard — famed for its low-cost, index-tracking funds — has been mounting an offensive into the growing universe of actively managed ETFs. Investor demand has pushed assets in active ETFs to about 10% of the overall $12 trillion industry, compared to less than 5% a decade ago, Bloomberg Intelligence data show. While Vanguard currently manages rules-based active equity ETFs, the trio of funds would mark the firm's first fundamental, stockpicking strategies to launch in the wrapper. 'We look at the pricing, which you would expect us to spend a lot of time on as a component of the product launch, and we feel that they're giving investors a really fair deal for the expertise that they're getting from Wellington,' Ryan Barksdale, Vanguard's head of active equity product, said on Bloomberg Television's ETF IQ. VDIG, VUSG and VUSV's debut would bring Vanguard's total ETF lineup to 100 funds, 17 of which would be actively managed. While the new funds would bump up Vanguard's average expense ratio, all three are still well below the average fee of 0.76% for US-listed active equity ETFs, Bloomberg data show. VDIG will focus on large-cap, dividend-growing stocks in a low-turnover portfolio of about 25 holdings, according to Monday's filing. VUSG will target around 40 companies with high-growth characteristics, while VUSV will invest in approximately 80 value-oriented companies, filings show. All three ETFs would be advised by Wellington Management Company, Vanguard's long-time partner. While Vanguard and Wellington have partnered on multiple mutual funds and interval funds, Monday's filing represents the pair's first joint-venture in the ETF structure. 'We are excited to build upon our longstanding partnership with Vanguard, bringing a series of proven, fundamental active equity approaches to individual investors in the ETF wrapper,' Kim Gailun, head of equity boutiques at Wellington, said in Monday's statement.
