Small plane crashes while landing near Chesapeake Bay Bridge in Maryland
A small plane crashed Wednesday morning while landing at an airport near the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, according to Queen Anne's County officials.
The plane's pilot, the only person on board, was not injured, though the four-seat Cirrus aircraft 'sustained significant damage' at the Bay Bridge Airport in Stevensville, according to Queen Anne's County public information manager Beth Malasky.
Malasky said that as the aircraft was landing, it 'veered off the side of the runway into a marshy area, coming to rest partially in the water.'
She said that there was no damage to the airport's runway, though it would be closed as federal and state aviation authorities investigated the crash.

Canadian wildfire smoke may bring ‘red haze' to Baltimore on Tuesday
If Tuesday's sunrise looks a little strange or even prettier than usual, it's not your eyes deceiving you, but rather smoke in the upper levels of the atmosphere over Maryland. Dozens of wildfires are burning in Canada, leading to the evacuation of thousands of Canadians in three provinces and spreading masses of thick smoke to places in the U.S., from the Midwest to the Carolinas. Baltimore will see some hazy skies related to the smoke on Tuesday, said Gerard Jebaily, the chief meteorologist for FOX45 News. 'We're expected to see some fairly dense smoke move overhead throughout tomorrow through most of the day, if not the entire day,' Jebaily said on Monday. While the smoke will be visible, particularly at sunrise and sunset, residents probably will not be able to smell it, nor will it impact the region's air quality, he said. 'The majority of [the smoke] is going to be in the upper levels, so it won't make it to the ground, so we may not have any visibility problems,' Jebaily said. Maryland saw the influx of wildfire smoke from Canada in the summers of 2023 and 2024, to a lesser extent. In June 2023, air quality was 'very unhealthy' at times, but Tuesday is unlikely to be a repeat. Jebaily noted that temperatures could be affected because the smoke may filter out some sunshine. 'It will look very hazy and the sun may have an eerie, red haze to it as it peeks through,' he said. Residents can expect the sun to look orange or reddish for most of Tuesday. 'Sunsets and sunrises may look especially strange and at the same time, maybe pretty,' he said. Got a news tip? Send it to nzimmerman@

‘The Wire' actor Tray Chaney says son in ICU after being thrown by tornado in Georgia
'The Wire' actor Tray Chaney said his son is in the hospital after being thrown by a tornado in Georgia. Chaney, who played Malik 'Poot' Carr on the HBO show set in Baltimore, posted about his son in a video on social media, with his destroyed home in the background. 'I lost my house,' Chaney said. 'I lost everything in it.' He said his son, Malachi Chaney, who turned 19 on Sunday, was thrown over 300 feet by the tornado Thursday and is fighting for his life in an intensive care unit. An update Sunday said Malachi is still in the hospital and 'making process.' Tearful with a hospital wristband on, Tray Chaney said he and his son had had a 'beautiful day' Thursday that included a 'big-ticket show' and meeting up with Felicia Pearson, who played a fictionalized version of herself, nicknamed 'Snoop,' in 'The Wire.' Tray Chaney recalled sitting on his bed in his home in Locust Grove, Atlanta, around 3 p.m. when he heard wind — moments prior to his house being destroyed. Chaney said he had to crawl through the remains of his home to find his phone. 'Cherish life as much as you can,' Chaney said on social media. 'I wish he was the one doing the video, and I was in the ICU … Thank God I am still living.' Have a news tip? Contact Matt Hubbard at mhubbard@ 443-651-0101 or @mthubb on X.
