    Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Sgt. Philip Brooks said, “Being a celebrity, he is often followed by paparazzi. He was aware of that, and it doesn’t appear he took any evasive action to avoid the paparazzi.”

    Bruce Jenner submitted to a field sobriety test and voluntarily submitted a blood sample to determine whether he was intoxicated.

    “He did not appear intoxicated or under the influence of anything at the time,” Brooks said.

    Sheriff’s Cmdr. Michael Parker said that the cause of the crash is under investigation at this time. He said they will check all of the drivers’ cellphone records and the available video evidence to help them determine what happened.

    Do you think the paparazzi may have been partly responsible for Bruce Jenner’s car wreck?

  • Daytona 500: Danica Patrick Involved in 13-Car Wreck

    Danica Patrick’s Chevrolet was one of the cars involved in a 13-car wreck that happened during the Daytona 500.

    The accident occurred when Brian Scott and Kevin Harvick’s cars collided on the fourth turn of lap 146 of 200. Scott hit the car of Aric Almirola, whose vehicle went towards the infield and hit several cars during the spin. One of the cars that were caught in the spin was Patrick’s.

    Patrick lost control of the vehicle and stopped on the grass neighboring the racetrack. Tony Gibson, the crew chief, immediately radioed Patrick to ask if she was okay. The shaken driver replied “Yeah what the hell happened?” She was then brought to the care center and was eventually released with no injuries.

    According to her statement, she was disappointed due to the fact the she felt the Chevrolet she was driving was the fastest car she has had through the Speedweeks. Patrick also said that the accident was unfortunate and that she was at the short end. However, she was also quick to say that what happened was the exciting part of speedway racing.

    Also involved in the crash were Michael Waltrip, Josh Wise, Justin Allgaier, Marcos Ambrose, Kasey Kahne, David Gilliland, Austin Dillon, Paul Menard, and Parker Kligerman.

    According to Waltrip, he had no idea how the crash started, but he knew how it ended. He saw two cars collide and was then hit from behind by a black car. Waltrip also showed his frustration, as he was an innocent victim in the crash.

    After 16 laps, there was another big collision involving 10 cars. This time, the wreck was caused by Austin Dillon spinning into Kyle Larson. Other racers involved were Brian Scott, Ryan Newman, Jamie McMurray, Casey Mears, Brian Vickers, Marcos Ambrose, Michael Annett, and Kasey Kahne.

    Dale Earnhardt Jr. went on to win the 2014 Daytona 500. Danica Patrick officially finished 40th in the race.

  • Pileups Close Down Portions of PA Turnpike

    Slippery roads in eastern Pennsylvania lead to pileups that shut down portions of the Pennsylvania Turnpike on Thursday, resulting in several injuries but no fatalities.

    Turnpike officials reported that roughly 35 vehicles were involved in related accidents, which caused a 4-mile backup on westbound lanes near Morgantown and Reading, situated about 50 miles west of Philadelphia. Turnpike wrecks sent roughly 10 people to area hospitals, and state police report that between 25 and 30 vehicles piled up on Interstate 78, which closed 5 miles of westbound lanes.

    The I-78 wrecks sent 25 drivers to hospitals, with one being airlifted, and 44 others were treated at the scene. Both I-78 and the PA Turnpike have since been cleared and traffic is moving along.

    The Pennsylvania Turnpike is a toll highway operated by the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania, and was opened on October 1, 1940. It spans 360 miles across the state, and incorporates seven tunnels built for the abandoned South Pennsylvania Railroad in the 1880’s. The highway runs east to west through the state, connecting the Pittsburgh, Harrisburg and Philadelphia areas.

    Tolls were waived for motorists who were redirected to exit at Downingtown Interchange, after traffic backed up at Morgantown for several miles. Motorists stuck in the backup Thursday afternoon also had their tolls waived at the Morgantown Interchange.

    In related area news, a 255-pound prized pumpkin was recently stolen from a stoop in York, Pennsylvania, home of the York Peppermint Patty. The hapless thief then returned the pumpkin, and left a heartwarming letter of apology. The letter read, “I’m really sorry about taking your pumpkin, it was wrong of me, you earned the pumpkin, I didn’t think my actions through nor realize who they were affecting. Sincerest apologies.”
