78-year-old trapped between dumpster and her moving SUV dies, Florida cops say
A 78-year-old woman is dead after getting caught between a dumpster and a moving vehicle, Florida officials told news outlets. The woman, who officials have not publicly identified, crashed in the Palm Coast area on Saturday, July 5, according to Florida Highway Patrol, WFTV reported. Investigators say the woman was driving when she tried to exit her SUV while it was still moving, WKMG reported. As she was partly outside the SUV, it veered off the road and sideswiped a dumpster, and troopers say she was sandwiched between the vehicle and dumpster. She was pronounced dead at the scene, highway patrol told WJXT. It's not clear why she was trying to get out of the vehicle, but authorities say an investigation is underway, the outlet reported. Palm Coast is a roughly 60-mile drive southeast from Jacksonville.

Ben Stokes says ‘there probably will be a decision to make' with third Test team
Within an hour of India levelling the series 1-1 with a thumping 336-run win in the second Rothesay Test, England added Surrey quick Atkinson to their squad for next week's clash at Lord's. He is fit again after injuring his hamstring against Zimbabwe in May and could line up for the first time with Archer, who has been training with the team in Birmingham and is primed for a first Test appearance in more than four years. Welcome, Gus 🤝 We've made one addition to our Test squad for Lord's 🏡 — England Cricket (@englandcricket) July 6, 2025 Brydon Carse and Josh Tongue are the likeliest players to stand down after sharing a big workload in the first two games against India. Stokes may also be hoping changes help unsettle opponents who have racked up 1,849 runs in four innings and celebrated seven centuries along the way. Having sent India in on the first morning in Birmingham he saw them go from 211 for five to 587 all out, to claim a commanding position they never relinquished. 'At 200 for five we were happy but we just weren't able to blast them open,' he said after his side were dismissed for 271 on the final day. 'They ended up getting a big first innings total after us having a good start. I think if we'd been able to burst them open when we did have them five down then the game would potentially have played out a little bit differently. 'It's no secret that we have spent some time in the field and bowled some overs in the first two games so we'll have to see how everyone pulls up over the next two days. With it being a quick turnaround there probably will be a decision we have to make.' Not to be for England this week… But you have to give credit to Shubman Gill and India 🇮🇳 — England Cricket (@englandcricket) July 6, 2025 Whoever is chosen at headquarters, one of the main tasks will be finding a weakness in the armoury of new India captain Shubman Gill. He has now scored 585 runs in the series at an average of 146.25 and is in with a shout of Sir Don Bradman's magic number of 974 – the most runs ever scored by one batter in a series. 'He's had some two games, hasn't he?' Stokes acknowledged with a wry smile. 'You've got got to give your opposition credit when it's due and for him to bang out as many runs as he has done in this game has been pretty special.' England are set for two days off before reconvening on Wednesday, training once at Lord's before resuming hostilities, and Stokes is content they will do so with a clean slate. 'We've had some unbelievable wins and some bad defeats and I feel this team is quite good at staying level throughout those ups and downs,' he said. 'We knew coming into the series it wasn't going to be easy, that there were going to be ebbs and flows because it's two very good teams. We have to wipe this one under the carpet as quickly as we can because Lord's day one will be coming round pretty quickly.' Gill is looking forward to it after enjoying his first success as India skipper, adding: 'There's no bigger honour than to captain your country in a Test match at Lord's. 'I am definitely feeling comfortable with my game and if we are able to win the series with my contributions, that will be great.'

Crew members abandon ship after Red Sea attack
The attack marks the first serious assault in the vital corridor for trade after a months-long campaign by Yemen's Houthi rebels there. Suspicion for the attack on the Greek-owned bulk carrier Magic Seas immediately fell on the Houthis, particularly as a security firm said it appeared bomb-carrying drone boats hit the ship after it was targeted by small arms and rocket-propelled grenades. The rebels' media reported on the attack but did not claim it. It can take them hours or even days before they acknowledge an assault. A renewed Houthi campaign against shipping could again draw in US and Western forces to the area, particularly after President Donald Trump targeted the rebels in a major air strike campaign. And it comes at a sensitive moment in the Middle East, as a possible ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war hangs in the balance and as Iran weighs whether to restart negotiations over its nuclear programme following US air strikes targeting its most-sensitive atomic sites amid an Israeli war against the Islamic Republic. 'It likely serves as a message that the Houthis continue to possess the capability and willingness to strike at strategic maritime targets regardless of diplomatic developments,' wrote Mohammad al-Basha, a Yemen analyst at the Basha Report risk advisory firm. The British military's United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations centre first said that an armed security team on the unidentified vessel had returned fire against an initial attack and that the 'situation is ongoing'. It described the attack as happening 60 miles south west of Hodeida, Yemen, which is held by the country's Houthi rebels. 'Authorities are investigating,' it said, later adding that the ship was on fire after being 'struck by unknown projectiles'. Ambrey, a private maritime security firm, issued an alert saying that a merchant ship had been 'attacked by eight skiffs while transiting northbound in the Red Sea'. Ambrey later said the ship also had been attacked by bomb-carrying drone boats, which could mark a major escalation. It said two drone boats struck the ship while another two had been destroyed by the armed guards on board. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations centre said the ship was taking on water and its crew were abandoning the vessel. The Houthi rebels have been launching missile and drone attacks against commercial and military ships in the region in what the group's leadership has described as an effort to end Israel's offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The group's al-Masirah satellite news channel acknowledged the attack occurred, but offered no other comment on it as it aired a speech by its secretive leader, Abdul Malik al-Houthi. However, Ambrey said the vessel targeted met 'the established Houthi target profile'. Between November 2023 and January 2025, the Houthis targeted more than 100 merchant vessels with missiles and drones, sinking two of them and killing four sailors. That has greatly reduced the flow of trade through the Red Sea corridor, which typically sees 1 trillion dollars of goods move through it annually.

Cameron Norrie the last Briton standing at Wimbledon after gruelling five-setter
The 29-year-old led by two sets and had a match point in the third, but was taken to a fifth by the towering Chilean. However, Norrie held his nerve in the decider and did not drop serve all day in a 6-3 7-6 (4) 6-7 (7) 6-7 (5) 6-3 victory over a gruelling four hours and 27 minutes. Cameron Norrie, take a bow 🇬🇧#Wimbledon — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 6, 2025 Norrie, a semi-finalist in 2022, is now only the third British man to reach the last eight more than once in the last 50 years, after Tim Henman and Andy Murray. He is also the last home player left in either draw after Sonay Kartal's defeat to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova earlier on Sunday. It is a fine achievement for a player who had slipped from eight in the world to 91 after a tough couple of years, and who is now on the verge of a return to the top 50. He will have his work cut out to get much further, though, with two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz his likely quarter-final opponent. Norrie, who has now won nine of his 10 matches on his favourite Court One, said: 'I hung tough when I needed to and the atmosphere was so good. 'Credit to Nico, he did an unbelievable job staying with me. I just had to keep fighting. 'It's my coach's birthday and I forgot to get him a present, so I got him the win.' Jarry was clearly unhappy about something at the end, with the two players engaged in a long, heated conversation after shaking hands. 'He said I was a little bit vocal, but that's my energy. It was a competitive match,' added Norrie. WHAT A WAY TO FINISH IT OFF! 🤩 Cameron Norrie is into the quarter-finals of #Wimbledon after being forced to a decider by Nicolas Jarry, but he gets it done by winning 6-3, 7-6(4), 6-7(7), 6-7(5), 6-3 🇬🇧 Just look at what it means 😁 — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 6, 2025 The first three sets were peak Norrie, with him simply keeping the ball in play and waiting for his opponent to make a mistake. The 6ft 7in South American obliged with 43 unforced errors, while risk-averse Norrie had made just 13. However, when Norrie had a match point on serve in the third set tie-break, Jarry saved it with a fine return and volley before converting his second set point. Jarry's charge through qualifying to the fourth round has been one of the stories of the Championships, his ranking having plummeted from 16 this time last year to 143 due to a health issue which has affected his vision and balance. The winners were now starting to mount up from Jarry's racket – he hit 103 in total including 46 aces – one of which secured the fourth set, again after a tie-break. Yet some three-and-a-half hours after he first broke the Jarry serve Norrie, aided by an untimely double-fault, managed it again at the start of the fifth. Norrie backed that up by saving two break points for a massive hold after a 10-minute game to lead 3-0. He stayed strong down the home straight and when Jarry put one last, tired forehand into the net the British number three was able to celebrate a memorable win.
