Video Above: CHP taking a bold new approach to crack down on dangerous driving CHP said officers will focus on drivers who are speeding from 6 a.m. on Saturday to 5:59 a.m. on Sunday. This comes with the Speed Prevention Campaign, as officers plan on increasing patrols and concentrating on drivers who are endangering lives. CHP said its goal is to save lives by lowering unsafe speeds. According to officials, unsafe speeds are a significant factor in nearly 30% of statewide crashes. CHP's Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System showed 2024 data that consisted of more than 116,000 crashes being a direct result of unsafe speed. The result of those crashes killed nearly 500 victims and injured over 48,000 people. Crews rescue driver from truck hanging over San Joaquin River CHP officers issued almost 243,000 citations for speed-related violations in 2025, including: More than 47,000 citations for speeds over 100 mph Nearly 183,000 citations for exceeding 65 mph Over 12,000 for driving too fast for the current road or weather conditions CHP said that the officers operating the specially marked patrol vehicles have issued over 2,700 speeding citations to date.

Statewide Mobile Monitoring Initiative launched to help guide air quality improvement
( — California Governor Gavin Newsom announced the launch of the Statewide Mobile Monitoring Initiative program, created to guide air quality improvement efforts in California. Video Above: Gov. Newsom announced CalHeatScore, a tool to help people understand the severity of heat waves 'While the federal government threatens to take us back to the days of smoggy skies and clogged lungs, California continues to lead the way,' Newsom said. 'We're deploying first-of-their-kind vehicles to monitor pollution levels at a block-by-block level, delivering critical air quality information to communities across the state.' The program delivers hyper-local air pollution data by deploying mobile air monitoring equipment to 64 communities that have been facing environmental disparities in the state. The deployment of the monitoring equipment will begin in June, with the use of sensor-equipped vehicles from Aclima and mobile laboratories operated by researchers from the University of California, Berkeley; the University of California, Riverside and Aerodyne. The organizations involved plan on collecting and analyzing data on local pollution levels. The initiative comes along with the statewide effort, California Climate Investments, that puts billions of Cap-and-Invest dollars into reducing greenhouse gas emissions, strengthening the economy, and improving public health and the environment. Priority populations, such as low-income communities and communities facing disproportionate pollution burdens, will be more than 60% of the areas monitored, the office of Newsom said. Elk Grove to welcome 2 new fast food chain locations 'By meeting communities where they are and listening to their concerns, we're building an air quality monitoring system that integrates the lived experiences of the people most impacted by air pollution,' said CARB Executive Director Dr. Steven Cliff. 'The Statewide Mobile Monitoring Initiative represents an unprecedented opportunity to gather the detailed information we need to better protect public health in neighborhoods that have historically borne the brunt of environmental injustice.' The project is expected to be completed by June of 2026, along with the public availability of the collected data. The data will then be used by CARB, local air districts, stakeholders and community stakeholders to properly address emerging pollution concerns. 'The data is also expected to inform future regulatory programs, academic research, and applications for grants such as the Community Air Grants Program,' said the office. The state's clean air efforts have also saved $250 billion in health costs through reduced illness and reduced diesel-related cancer risk by almost 80 percent, according to the office.

This Burning Mercedes-AMG One Breaks Our Hearts
Cars are complicated machines, even before shoehorning a massively complex Formula 1 engine behind the seats. Hybridization adds yet another layer of complexity, resulting in a hypercar that requires an engine rebuild every 31,000 miles (50,000 kilometers). Mercedes-AMG faced numerous hurdles during the development of its F1 car for the road, the AMG One. Even after years of delays, the problems didn't end. One car burned to a crisp inside an enclosed trailer in May 2023. Fast-forward two years, and it appears another Mercedes-AMG One has gone up in flames. In the age of AI, it's not always easy to verify what appears on social media, but this video seems legitimate. That said, we've done our due diligence and reached out to Mercedes to confirm whether the footage of the electrified hypercar burning to a crisp is genuine. Until we hear back, please consider our skepticism warranted. Details remain scarce, but based on the surroundings and look of the ambulance, it seems the fire occurred in Germany. The AMG One in question carries an 'OL' license plate, indicating registration in the Oldenburg region. After some digging, we found other videos of the car prior to the incident. The dark green machine was showcased in April at the Techno Classica Essen. Firefighters responded to the scene, but it was too late to save one of the 275 units that Mercedes-AMG is making. Footage of the aftermath shows what's left of the fastest production car to lap the Nürburgring . Frankly, identifying the make and model would be difficult, given how little is left after the fire. As for what caused the blaze, it's tempting to blame the complex hybrid setup. However, it's unclear whether the battery or the intricately engineered 1.6-liter V-6 was responsible. What matters most is that the driver apparently pulled over and got out of the vehicle before the AMG One was fully engulfed. Hopefully, they escaped unharmed. Circling back to the license plate, it appears to have been a customer car rather than a prototype. Mercedes' test vehicles typically use 'LW' plates for Ludwigsburg, because AMG's headquarters are located in Affalterbach, a municipality in the Ludwigsburg district.
