Eight injured in suspected car-ramming attack in Israel
Israel's Magen David Adom (MDA) first responders said they received a report at 9:25 am (0625 GMT) that a vehicle crashed into a bus stop near Kfar Yona. A man and woman in their 20s were said to be in a "moderate condition, with injuries to the chest and limbs", the MDA said. Three others were in a "mild-moderate condition, with injuries to the head and limbs", it added. Three people were described as having "mild" injuries. "The vehicle hit several people and fled the scene," police spokesman Aryeh Doron said. The car was abandoned and later recovered and the driver is being hunted using helicopters, motorbikes and a specialist dog unit, police added. The site of the crash was cordoned off as forensic investigators combed the scene, an AFP photographer said. There has been a spate of violence in Israel and the occupied West Bank since the start of the war against Hamas in Gaza, triggered by the militants' attack on October 7, 2023. A teenager died in March this year when police said a car driven by a Palestinian man deliberately ploughed into civilians at a bus stop in northern Israel. At least 32 people, including soldiers, have died in attacks in Israel by Palestinians, according to an AFP tally based on official Israeli figures. In the West Bank, occupied by Israel since 1967, at least 958 Palestinians, including many fighters but also civilians, have been killed by Israeli soldiers or settlers, according to Palestinian Authority figures. At the same time, at least 36 Israelis, including civilians and soldiers, have been killed in Palestinian attacks or during Israeli military operations, Israeli figures showed.

Drunk driver crashes vehicle into building in Baltimore's Fells Point neighborhood
A man is facing charges after crashing a vehicle into a Fells Point building, according to police. Police said they were patrolling in the 400 block of South Broadway when they approached a man who appeared to be under the influence of alcohol as he attempted to get into his vehicle to drive. After entering the vehicle, the man was told multiple times to exit. Instead, the man put the vehicle in drive and attempted to flee the scene. The vehicle hit the curb, crossed into the southbound lane in the wrong direction, struck another curb, and then crashed into a building. Police removed the man from the vehicle and placed him under arrest. He was later taken to an area hospital for treatment before being discharged and taken to the Central Booking Intake Facility. The man is currently facing multiple charges, including DWI, reckless driving, negligent driving, and attempting to elude police. Overnight on June 3, a truck slammed into an East Baltimore building, causing it to partially collapse. According to police, a 64-year-old man drove a pickup truck into the building at the corner of Federal Street and N. Patterson Park Avenue. A support structure was destroyed, causing the partial collapse. A day later, the rest of the building was torn down by the city. The owner of the building, Michael Davis, said it had been hit three times in the past five years. The first crash was caused by a drunk driver, and the second was caused by someone running a red light.
