Rampaging Ambulance Thief Leads Police on D.C. Chase, Causing Multiple Crashes

The man accused of stealing two trucks and an Arlington County ambulance over the weekend, causing damage to multiple vehicles, had a previous arrest in Arlington in May. Darell Caldwell, a 30-year-old Maryland man, is facing federal and local charges for the incident, which involved a wild police chase across Arlington and into D.C. Caldwell has a criminal record in multiple jurisdictions and was out on bond from a recent Arlington case. The stolen ambulance will be repaired, and the fire department will use a spare unit until it is back in service.

Deadly Dust Storm Causes Multiple Crashes on Illinois Highway

A dust storm caused multiple vehicle crashes and fatalities on Interstate 55 in Illinois, involving about 20 commercial motor vehicles and 40 to 60 passenger cars. Over 30 people were transported for injuries, and the number of fatalities has not been confirmed. The crashes were caused by excessive winds blowing dirt from farm fields across the highway leading to zero visibility. I-55 is currently shut down in both directions from milepost 63 to milepost 80, and state police are investigating.
