Motor rally accident kills three spectators in France
Three spectators died in central France on Saturday after a car driven by a 22-year-old woman racer veered off the road during an auto rally, authorities said. The driver of the modified Peugeot 208 that hit the spectators and her 51-year-old woman co-driver were taken to hospital but without life-threatening injuries, prosecutors said. Two men died at the scene and prosecutors later announced that a third man, airlifted to hospital, succumbed to his injuries. The three killed were two brothers, aged 70 and 60, and a 44-year-old man, according to the public prosecutor's office, which opened an investigation. Several people who witnessed the accident near the town of Ambert in central France were in shock, a local official told AFP. In total, a dozen people were taken to a psychological support unit set up in the nearby village of Saint-Just. The accident occurred around 11 am (0900 GMT) on Saturday. "This is a tragedy for the world of racing," said Joel Mathurin, the local prefect, or top government official for the area. Regional prosecutor Laure Moisset said the accident was "very violent". In a short statement, the rally organisers said that the race was halted at 10:49 am. All spectators were asked to leave the scene and the event's award ceremony was cancelled. Dozens of firefighters and police were dispatched to the scene. The investigation was "in its early stages," the prosecutor said. The Peugeot 208 car was to be examined. The road where the accident took place, almost a straight line according to authorities, has been closed. Prosecutors said they would have to determine whether the spectators were in an authorised area during the rally. "I prefer to remain cautious," Moisset told reporters. "It is still a little too early to be precise," she added. Organised since 1965, the motor rally attracted 167 teams for its 32nd edition. In the rally held last year, a race marshal died. mla-st-as/rmb

Emilie Kiser's husband won't face charge in son's drowning, DA says
The husband of a social media influencer will not be charged in the May death of his 3-year-old son, prosecutors in Arizona said. Brady Kiser, husband of TikTok and Instagram influencer Emilie Kiser, will not be charged in the drowning death of their son, Trigg, because prosecutors were unlikely to get a conviction in the case, Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell said in a news release July 25. Trigg Kiser died on May 18 after being pulled from a backyard pool in Chandler, Arizona, six days earlier, police previously told USA TODAY. Court documents said Trigg's death was an accidental drowning in the family's pool. Police interviewed Brady Kiser Brady Kiser told police he was watching the couple's newborn son when Trigg fell into the pool on May 12, according to search warrant applications granted by Maricopa County Superior Court judges in May. Court records included a summarized police interview with Brady Kiser. Brady Kiser had told Chandler police he was home alone with the couple's two boys on May 12 while his wife was out with friends, the court records said. He told police he saw Trigg playing near the pool, which was "not uncommon," the court records said. He said the pool usually had a protective cover on it, they said. Brady Kiser said he was "soon distracted" by their newborn son, Theodore, when he lost sight of Trigg for three to five minutes, the records said. He then found Trigg floating in their backyard pool, they said. He "immediately" jumped in to help Trigg and called 911, the records said. The Chandler Police Department on July 15 announced that it recommended a class 4 felony charge of child abuse against Brady Kiser. Police officials previously told The Arizona Republic that criminal charges against parents in child drowning cases were rare. After "careful review of the evidence," which included surveillance video showing how the drowning occurred, the Maricopa County Attorney's Office determined the case did not meet the standard of a 'reasonable likelihood of conviction,' Mitchell said in the July 25 news release. Heat wave: Late July's oppressive heat forecast isn't normal Emilie Kiser's internet fame drove awareness of case Emilie Kiser is a TikTok celebrity with about 4 million followers, 1.7 million followers on Instagram and has a presence on other social media platforms where she often posted about parenting, her home and also promoted products. She made her last social media post on May 12 and hasn't spoken publicly since her son's death. Emilie Kiser has also turned off commenting on most of her Instagram and TikTok profiles, while Brady Kiser made his Instagram account private. Timeline since Emilie Kiser's son died: A drowning, a lawsuit, a possible charge The Kisers did file a May 27 lawsuit to prevent the release of records about her son's death. In the filing, attorneys said the family "desperately want to grieve in private, but sadly, the public will not let them," adding that her son's death "has become a media frenzy." That suit has prevented the release of a police report and some other records about the investigation. In the lawsuit, the Kisers' legal team argued dissemination of the information, which would normally be made available to the public, would violate her family's privacy. A judge ordered officials on June 3 not to disclose any records until lawyers reviewed and discussed their contents. The legal team later agreed that some records, such as redacted police and medical examiner reports, could be released. But anything made available should balance her privacy against the public's right to know, the Kiser's lawyers said. Mike Snider is a national trending news reporter for USA TODAY.
