TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — No one will face criminal charges following a two-car crash in Tacoma, Washington, that killed six Arizona residents in July, according to Pierce County prosecutors. A seventh occupant — a Phoenix man — survived with serious injuries but had no memory of the crash. Esparza was driving, and the Phoenix man who survived was in the front passenger’s seat. The driver and passenger in the BMW — a 42-year-old Tacoma man and his 40-year-old wife — were uninjured. There was insufficient evidence to prove the BMW driver acted with disregard for the safety of others, according to Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Elizabeth Dasse.

CNN —Two “Yellowstone” cast members are teaming up with other celebrities for a good cause on horseback. “I launched Ride to the Polls in 2020, hoping to reach young people in my community who weren’t motivated to vote for good reason,” she told CNN. I think BIPOC communities, disenfranchised communities, across the country feel like they’re not sure what to trust anymore. Young and Harness’s drive to do more Ride to the Polls events was done with that in mind. A Skate to the Polls event was held back in August.
