The vehicle crossed the double-yellow line twice and the driver overcorrected. The vehicle struck a curb and rolled multiple times into the backyard of a residence.

The driver and a six-year-old passenger were ejected from the vehicle. The boy was pronounced dead at the scene.

Emergency crews transported the driver to a local hospital in critical condition, according to Davidson.  He did not release names of the victims.

Charges filed against man over Kansas wildfire video on social media

photos- Reno County Fire District #4

RENO COUNTY — A Kansas man who thought it would be cool to drive into a wildfire and shoot a video for social media has now been formally charged in Reno County District Court with three counts of child endangerment.

Josh Sellers, who is already serving time at HCF, is accused of driving into the wildfire in March — along with three teens — and shooting video. The matter came to light during the fire department’s arson investigation related to the fires that destroyed a number of homes and buildings and caused mass evacuations in the county.

The video, which went on social media, became a part of that investigation. When authorities discovered three of the passengers in the vehicle were under the age of 18, formal charges were brought against Sellers.

Sellers will be back in court for another hearing Aug. 23.

Trump warns NKorea that US is ‘locked and loaded’

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The Latest on the North Korea crisis (all times local):

President Donald Trump has issued an urgent warning to North Korea not to move ahead with its ballistic missile testing.

He is tweeting: “Military solutions are now fully in place, locked and loaded, should North Korea act unwisely. Hopefully Kim Jong Un will find another path!”

North Korea has announced a detailed plan to launch a salvo of ballistic missiles toward the U.S. Pacific territory of Guam, a major military hub and home to U.S. bombers. If carried out, it would be its most provocative missile launch to date.

Trump previously said the U.S. would unleash “fire and fury” on North Korea if it continued to threaten the U.S.
