Post-collision, the school bus traveled off the roadway onto the grass shoulder where it went through a fence, struck a tree and overturned. Marion County resident Ashley Smith says she has noticed heavier traffic on State Road 40 since moving into the area. I moved out here five years ago and the traffic has been extremely worse since moving out this way. Reardon Smith making their comments on WFTV.

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports on the prosecutions star witness in Donald Trump's hush money case being grilled by Trump's lawyer. A tense start to cross examination in Donald Trump's hush money trial with the former president's lawyer reminding Michael Cohen, who was once Trump's lawyer also, of some choice words he had to say leading up to his testimony. The prosecution had already gotten Cohen to admit to a sordid past of lies and jail time for perjury. Now the defense will make the case he's a liar who can't be believed. One of the last things Cohen told jurors while testifying for the defense was that he regrets the lies, which is a reason he named his podcast Maya Culpa, but he doesn't regret working for Trump.
