A man is dead after the juvenile driver of a stolen car full of seven kids crashed into him in Montgomery County, Maryland 🚨
Montgomery County Police and Fire & Rescue were called out at around 5:30am to Great Seneca Highway and Clopper Road in Germantown for a crash with fire and entrapment.
The driver of a Toyota Matrix, who has yet to be identified, was struck by the driver of a white Kia Optima, which had seven kids inside between the ages of twelve and fifteen. The adult male driver was pronounced dead on scene.
The Kia had been stolen from a residence in Montgomery County just hours before the fatal crash. The juvenile suspect, (not old enough to even have a learners permit or drivers license) who had been driving the stolen Kia, was taken to the hospital in critical but stable condition. Six other juveniles were taken to the hospital in various conditions— none considered life-threatening.
It was also determined that the driver of the stolen Kia had been driving recklessly beforehand, nearly causing a separate collision.
Montgomery County Police’s Crash Reconstruction Unit (CRU) continues to investigate the crash.

Wes Moore is not only destroying Maryland, he’s trying to silence the voices of One Million Marylanders just because they’re not in his political party. We are standing with all Marylanders who demand he and his partisans in Annapolis focus on Maryland affordability and end his wrong priorities.
Thank you to LT Gov candidate Rob Krop, Senate Minority Whip Senator Justin Ready, Delegate Bob Long, Domonic Martin for State Delegate, Delegate Ric Metzgar’s, Senator Johnny Ray Salling, D6 Congressional nominee Robin Ficker, Delegate Terry Baker, Delegate Jay Jacobs, Spencer Rhoda, Fitzgerald Mofor and others who joined me or stopped by at our press conference today to Save Maryland from partisan gerrymandering. Thanks to our campaign volunteers and Campaign Manager Patience Faith for an amazing job pulling this together so quickly, and to the news agencies who braved the heat to set up their equipment outside in front of the State House.
Authority: Dan Cox for Governor; Nick Krop, Treasurer.
Ok, here’s my corporate greed call-out of the day.
I was dispatched today for a no-cool call. The indoor unit was running, but the outdoor unit wasn’t.
The system was a 10-year-old Bryant Evolution high-end variable-capacity inverter system. After running the factory diagnostics, I found Code 77, indicating the inverter board was detecting excessive compressor startup current.
Following the manufacturer’s diagnostic procedure, I disconnected the compressor leads to determine whether the fault was in the compressor or the inverter board. The results confirmed the inverter board had failed. The system is only 8 months out of warranty.
At that point, I started preparing myself to tell the customer the repair would probably be around $1,500–$1,900. I figured the board would cost somewhere in the $800–$1,000 range. After all, it’s just a printed circuit board.
Before giving the estimate, I called Carrier Enterprise for pricing.
$8,900.
Not for the entire outdoor unit.
Not for a complete system.
Just the inverter board.
That’s not a typo. $8,900.
In my opinion, this is the definition of engineered obsolescence. There is no reasonable justification for a replacement circuit board on a 10-year-old residential HVAC system to cost nearly nine thousand dollars. At that price, you’re essentially forcing the homeowner to replace the entire system instead of repairing it.
This is exactly why I’ll never sell Carrier equipment. They make decent equipment, but pricing replacement parts like this turns a repairable system into a disposable one. Homeowners deserve better than that.
Carrier Carrier Enterprise or anyone that’s sells this shit, care to elaborate why this board is so expensive?

Some piece of garbage pulled over on Baltimore Avenue in East Lansdowne, PA, shoved a scared little puppy out of his car, cleaned up the mess it made, and just drove off like it was nothing.
Security cameras caught the whole thing. The dog, later named Hiccup, ends up standing in the middle of a busy road with cars whipping by. Nearly gets flattened multiple times. Pure evil.
Then Amelia Brown, a vet student driving through, sees him and doesn’t hesitate. She stops, grabs the pup off the street, and takes him home. No microchip. No owner coming forward. Just a skinny, scared dog that needed somebody decent.
She kept him. Fed him right, got him fixed, and gave him a real family. Hiccup’s thriving now, playing with the other dogs and living the life he should’ve had from the start.
Anybody who dumps a helpless animal on the road like that is a coward and a POS. No excuses. Amelia did what that scumbag refused to do. She saved a life and gave him a home.
H/t Amelia Brown. Good on you.
New York City will require IDs to prove you live in the city in order to shop in the city owned grocery stores. So you need an ID to shop in the city’s stores, but it would be racist to require an ID to vote. Perfection.
