Pickup truck drives onto New Jersey football field during practice; driver arrested, police say
A driver has been arrested after police say they took their pickup truck onto a South Jersey field where a football practice was taking place. Video shows the truck on the grass at the RiverWinds complex in West Deptford on Wednesday night. Sarah Howell, who filmed the video, says the truck came dangerously close to the kids practicing and the parents watching them from the sidelines. The truck then hit a light pole and appeared to come to a stop. Then, West Deptford coaches sprang into action — getting the kids off the field while some disabled the truck, she told CBS News Philadelphia. West Deptford police say the driver is in custody and charged with endangering the welfare of children, criminal mischief and a disorderly persons offense for simple assault – along with several motor vehicle charges. Police believe the driver may have intended to harm people at the complex, and detectives are working with the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office on possibly adding more charges. The driver's identity has not been released. After the incident, West Deptford will be stationing additional police officers at the RiverWinds Complex during events, the department said in a news release.

The Abbotsford Police Department shared this photo of a Tesla whose driver was arrested for dangerous driving on Aug. 1, 2025. A speeding Tesla driver was arrested after crashing into a power pole in Abbotsford, according to authorities. Officers spotted the vehicle 'travelling at dangerously high speeds' just after midnight Friday but 'briefly lost sight' of the car when it rounded a corner, the Abbotsford Police Department said in a social media post. Moments later, police came upon the crash scene. 'The 21-year-old driver was arrested at the scene for dangerous driving and is now facing a court date. Two passengers were detained but later released. Fortunately, no injuries were reported,' the social media post said, adding it was lucky no one was injured. The crash knocked out power to hundreds in the area overnight and prompted a lengthy road closure, police added. A conviction for the Criminal Code offence of dangerous driving can result in fines or jail time, depending on the circumstances of the case.
