Four people have died in a car crash in France after their Tesla vehicle reportedly hit a road sign and caught fire, police said Monday.
A Texas man shot and wounded two deputies during a traffic stop before they returned fire and killed him, authorities said Monday.
A Callaway County deputy initiated a traffic stop around 3:35 a.m. Monday on Interstate 70, the county’s sheriff’s office said in a news release. A second deputy arrived a short time later.
Deputies learned that the driver, a 37-year-old man from Texas, had several felony warrants for alleged drug trafficking and assaulting a law officer. A short time later, deputies notified dispatchers that the man was resisting arrest, then reported shots fired.
A local police spokesman, Lt. Eric Hoarau, said the exact circumstances of the crash Saturday night near the city of Niort were still to be determined and an investigation was underway.
