Driver admits marijuana use before fatal Ocala crash
A 41 year old man with a long driving record says he smoked marijuana oil and took prescription drugs hours before he sideswiped a bus in Marion County Florida killing eight Mexican farm workers and injuring dozens. He pleaded not guilty to DUI manslaughter and remains jailed without bond. The bus carrying seasonal workers to Cannon Farms overturned after the collision in Dunnellon. Mexican consulate aid and federal inspectors coordinated victim support and safety reviews while the driver awaits court.

Army Navy and Air Force declines offset a smaller Marine drop with 8 515 total cases including pre service and civilian incidents.

Vermilion council clash over public comment and clerk access
Vermilion officials spar over a council ban on a member from office and access to the council clerk’s office, with Forthofer calling access restricted to the legislative branch and Werley vowing to seek legal action if enforced. The dispute centers on open public comment rules at special meetings and the recording by Werley, along with ongoing tensions from the volunteer fire department resignations and a broader culture shift within city leadership.
