Alcohol appears to have been a factor in a crash that killed a 47-year-old woman in Scio Township, Michigan, early Saturday, according to Michigan State Police.
Troopers responded to the crash in the area of Interstate 94 near Jackson Avenue around 5:15 a.m. after being alerted by Ford's notification system.
Responding police noticed a semitruck and an SUV on the shoulder of a road. The drivers of both vehicles told troopers they hit an object, and the semitruck driver thought they saw headlights in the woods in the area where they struck the object, MSP says.
Troopers and firefighters searched and found a Ford Expedition that had crashed deep in the woods. Investigators said the woman, from Dexter, Michigan, was driving the Ford on I-94, drifted off the road, drove into the woods and struck a tree. She died at the scene.
"Alcohol appears to be a factor in the crash," police said in a written release on Saturday.
Officials say the investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information about the crash is asked to call MSP's Brighton Post at 810-227-1051.

Martha's Vineyard residents fume over arrests of illegal immigrants in liberal enclave
Martha's Vineyard residents are unhappy with the Trump administration deporting illegal immigrants from their liberal enclave, The Washington Post reported this week. The community has been reeling since Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officers arrested dozens of illegal immigrants in a recent raid, according to the report. "It's bullying," one Martha's Vineyard resident, Charlie Giordano, told the Post. "I don't know how many are illegal or legal, I don't give a s---. But I do care about how they're treated." The Washington Post's story on the Martha's Vineyard ICE raid comes as the federal law enforcement agency has been the focus of riots in downtown Los Angeles for the past several days. ICE agents carried out operations at businesses across Los Angeles on Friday, sparking protests and clashes outside multiple locations that grew so chaotic that President Donald Trump ordered National Guard troops into the city, followed by several hundred U.S. Marines, to restore order. Some California officials, including Gov. Gavin Newsom, have accused the administration of exacerbating the situation. As the Post reported, ICE agents performed a massive sting throughout Massachusetts in late May that resulted in nearly 1,500 arrests. Forty of those arrests happened on the two islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. The arrests have ignited "fear among undocumented workers who form the backbone of the workforce here just as the busy summer season gets underway," the outlet reported. "After the raid, many immigrants panicked and shuttered themselves indoors. Many spoke to The Washington Post only on the condition of anonymity because they fear being targeted the next time ICE arrives on the island. They recounted taking extraordinary measures that day and in the week after to protect themselves," the Post said, adding that the liberal community on the island had been shaken as well. "The arrests hit a nerve in a liberal enclave known for welcoming everyone: presidents — former president Barack Obama has an oceanfront property here — LGBTQ+ activists, racial minorities, celebrities and a large cluster of immigrants from Brazil," the paper noted. One Brazilian resident, who admitted to the Post he is undocumented, warned that the local economy will crater because of the arrests and deportations. The anonymous man, who also owns three businesses in Martha's Vineyard, said, "The money is just going to stop flowing. The U.S. is only losing in pushing us out." The Island has become a safe haven for many illegal immigrants from Brazil in recent decades as they fled their home country due to hyperinflation and other economic problems. According to the outlet, many came over on work or tourist visas, but ended up staying in the country. The Post reported that these immigrants "established businesses offering food and cleaning services that are now crucial to daily life in a resort town. Today there are few restaurant menus here that don't offer Brazilian-inspired options like croquettes or traditional cheesy bread." It noted just how prevalent the Portuguese language is within the community as well. An anonymous Brazilian woman, who owns a business and has raised three children on the island, told the paper, "The American people love us because we work so hard to help the community prosper and grow." "This was a safe place," she added. Residents said that the recent arrests "felt arbitrary and included valued community members who had committed no crime," according to the Post. A Brazilian pastor on the island told the outlet, "ICE would come here to get criminals and that is good. But the way they did it now, that was not it." However, the paper acknowledged ICE's recent statement disputing those claims. According to the agency, more than half of all the illegal immigrants detained in Massachusetts last month had a criminal record. ICE did not immediately reply to Fox News Digital's request for comment. Martha's Vineyard was at the center of the nation's immigration debate in 2022, when Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ordered 50 illegal immigrants detained in Florida to be flown to the island. DeSantis was attempting to highlight the record influx of migrants at the southern border.

China's Escalating Espionage War Against The U.S.
Concerns over China's espionage campaign against the United States are growing following recent reports highlighting issues of espionage, agro-terrorism, and artificial intelligence. Most recently, China has faced scrutiny after the arrest of three Chinese nationals, including one who attempted to smuggle illegal biological materials into the U.S. from a university in Wuhan, China. Former diplomat and senior advisor with the Center for International Studies (CIS), Jim Lewis, joins the Rundown to discuss China's threat to the United States and how they are targeting America on multiple fronts. At the end of the last fiscal year in 2024, the US Army exceeded its recruitment goal. Now in 2025, our army says they've met their goal four months early. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth credits President Trump for this uptick in military recruitment, saying he had initially called it the 'Trump bump' but now sees it's really a tsunami of young folks who want to work 'under a President they know has their back.' Navy veteran and The Heritage Foundation senior fellow Brent Sadler joins to unpack what could be fueling this military recruitment surge.
