"Maryland Takes Action: Troopers Deployed and New Safety Recommendations Approved After Deadly Work Zone Crash"

Maryland Governor Wes Moore has announced the deployment of additional state troopers to highway construction zones following the recommendations of a task force formed after a crash that killed six workers earlier this year. The task force's suggestions include expanding the use of traffic cameras and implementing educational and awareness campaigns. The crash highlighted the dangers faced by construction workers in work zones, and the National Transportation Safety Board is continuing to investigate the incident. The task force's recommendations aim to improve safety and address issues such as speeding, construction zone protection, and collision avoidance technology.

Investigation Reveals Damaged Rotor as Cause of Deadly Leicester Helicopter Crash

An accident inquiry has revealed that a damaged tail rotor was responsible for the deadly helicopter crash in 2018 that killed the owner of Leicester City soccer club, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, and four others. The inquiry found that a bearing in the tail rotor failed, causing the helicopter's control system to malfunction. The pilot's pedals became disconnected, resulting in an uncontrollable sharp right turn and the helicopter spinning out of control. The report ruled out drone involvement and pilot error. The crash led to eight safety recommendations to address weaknesses in helicopter certification regulations.
