The bus allegedly plowed into a number of cars that had slowed for a construction zone. 

Dozens were injured and five people were killed when a North Carolina-based E&P Travel bus drove into stopped traffic in Virginia on Friday at about 2:35 a.m., according to police.

An investigation found that the driver of the bus was a Chinese national who could not speak English, according to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.

'This is one of the most tragic things I've ever seen. Absolutely tragic.'

The driver identified as 48-year-old Jing S. Dong.

The bus plowed into a Chevy SUV that had slowed for a construction zone and propelled that vehicle into an Acura SUV and other vehicles.

Dong's bus was carrying 34 travelers from New York City to Charlotte, North Carolina.

Forty-four people in the incident were transported to hospitals in Fredericksburg and Stafford, according to officials. Three of those had critical injuries.

"I've got to say, this is one of the most tragic things I've ever seen. Absolutely tragic," said Federal Transit Administration spokesperson Peyton Vogel at the scene.

Duffy posted the findings from the investigation to social media.

"Local police confirm the driver of this motorcoach — a man from China who became a U.S. citizen — doesn't speak English. He received his commercial drivers license from New York State in 2024," Duffy wrote.

"Unacceptable. This is exactly why we are holding states accountable, enforcing the rules of the road, and cracking down on drivers who can't speak English," he added. "If you can't be properly trained, read our road signs, or communicate with law enforcement, you have no business driving a bus."

He also vowed that any company, trainer, or school involved in putting Dong on the road would receive "intense scrutiny" over the incident.

Dong was also injured in the crash.

"My prayers are with the loved ones of the innocent lives lost and those who were hurt in this horrific crime," Duffy concluded.

The investigation into the crash closed traffic on the I-95 south lane for about four hours.

The driver remembered a bizarre interaction with the woman over the odor from her gray suitcase. 

An attentive Lyft driver called Philadelphia police after seeing a gray suitcase on the news that belonged to a woman rider who apologized for the smell of the dirty wet clothing inside.

Investigators now say 53-year-old Liza Ridley was transporting the remains of Vincent Good in order to dump them off so she could cash in on his Social Security checks.

He said she carried a gray suitcase and left a fluid stain on the floor of his car.

Good's family said he was funny and kind and would give nicknames to everyone he met.

Prosecutors say that Ridley admitted to shooting Good in the head after the Lyft driver's tip led them to her door.

Good's remains were found in the suitcase dumped at East Hilton Street in Kensington on May 22.

A person searching for scrap metal first noticed the smell emitting from the suitcase, according to a statement from the Philadelphia District Attorney's office. Police also found remains in two industrial-size trash bags after investigating.

Police sought help from the public and released a photo of the gray suitcase.

A Lyft driver then contacted the police to tell them about the strange interaction she had with a woman transporting a suitcase with a strong foul odor on May 21. She said the woman carried a gray suitcase and left a fluid stain on the floor of her car.

She also said that she believed she had driven the woman to Kensington.

Astonishingly, she gave police a photograph of the woman.

"That Lyft driver had the wisdom to take a photograph of that passenger based on the suspicious indications that the Lyft driver was observing," District Attorney Larry Krasner said.

Police were able to identify the woman as Liza Ridley, a registered home health aide for Exceptional Heart Home Care Services. She had been hired to care for Good and was also his girlfriend. 

Investigators say Ridley had her 55-year-old sister Bernadette Ridley, her 32-year-old daughter Liza Robinson, and Liza's 33-year-old boyfriend Gnaeus Daniels helped clean up the crime scene and disposed of evidence. Bernadette Ridley is also accused of helping dismember Good's body.

The group is charged with a slew of crimes.

Liza Ridley is charged with murder and abuse of a corpse, and her sister is charged with abuse of a corpse. All four suspects are charged with tampering with evidence and obstruction of justice, as well as conspiracy charges related to both crimes.

Police said a forensic anthropologist will determine what date Good was killed and how he was dismembered. They believe the motivation for the alleged murder was the theft of Good's Social Security checks. 

"This case was quickly solved largely thanks to two Good Samaritan Philadelphians who came forward as crucial witnesses and shared vital information with law enforcement," Krasner said.

Dog owner fakes heart attack to dodge arrest after pets ‘ripped apart’ woman in front of husband: cops

A Florida dog owner allegedly faked a heart attack while being arrested after her two pets viciously mauled a woman to death, according to cops.

Linda Cutler, 29, “feigned having a heart attack” while she was being hauled into custody by cops Wednesday, Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey told reporters.

Cutler, who has since been charged with manslaughter, was nabbed near the Hilton hotel in Melbourne, which is located on Florida’s “Space Coast” — a week after her two mixed-breed dogs savaged 50-year-old dog-walker Jodi Cowan in Cocoa.

Cutler’s pooches Max and Mako climbed over the fence just before 2 a.m. May 19 before “forcing her [Cowan] to the ground, viciously attacking her and eventually dragging her across the ground for quite some distance,” Ivey said.

Cowan’s husband, Donnell Smith, swung a knife at the two dogs in a desperate bid to shoo them away.

Moments after the attack, she called 911 and said, “I’m dying, can’t breathe,” according to audio obtained by Florida Today.

“It was brutal. Seeing the same woman I’ve loved for the last 25, 30 years just ripped apart by two animals was just … I’ll never get that image out of my mind,” Smith told WESH, describing the horror.

Cowan died from her injuries hours later, but Cutler wasn’t immediately arrested; she was only nabbed when cops responded to an unrelated disturbance at the beachside location.

“Hope you enjoyed your time at the beach because you’re not going to be going back,” Ivey said as cops escorted her to jail.

“What is the purpose of that?” a seemingly clueless Cutler, who faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted, responded.

“A woman is dead and two dogs are about to be euthanized because of your uselessness,” the sheriff replied.

Cutler didn’t strengthen her fence despite knowing her dogs had previously escaped, according to the authorities.

And one of Cutler’s neighbors had previously been bitten by her other dogs — but they didn’t cooperate with cops, WFLA reported

“They were always on the loose,” neighbor Dominica Midkiff told Florida Today.

The authorities couldn’t seize the animals because the incidents failed to meet the legal requirement. 

The two dogs will be euthanized. 

Cutler’s arraignment is scheduled for June 23.

Shady immigration attorneys laughed off the law — now they’ll have to pay for their asylum games

This week, the Department of Homeland Security announced a new effort to crack down on asylum fraud — by going after the lawyers who enable it.

DHS will be imposing civil fines on attorneys who file bogus and frivolous protection applications on behalf of their alien clients. 

About time: For decades, various administrations have turned a blind eye to those who exploit Americans’ humanitarian instincts for pecuniary gain.

By its nature, fraud generally is one of the hardest crimes to prove — it’s axiomatic in law enforcement that the greatest con artists are the ones who never got caught. 

Our generous asylum laws, however, almost encourage fraud. 

To ensure immigrants aren’t returned to persecution or torture back home, the US asylum statute is intentionally lax on the evidence applicants must present to support their claims.  

Applicants’ testimony alone “may be sufficient to sustain” their burden of proof “without corroboration,” but only if the court finds it credible and concludes there’s no supporting evidence they could and must present. 

That overly compassionate evidence standard has been abused for years by aliens who concoct tales of mistreatment and harm, many of which boggle the imagination and strain credulity.

But given that few judges are familiar with police practices in far-off lands, or with the political struggles in remote regions of the world, they don’t have much to go on. 

The State Department used to help. 

Prior to President Barack Obama’s administration, consular officers would pore over applications, opining on some directly and writing generalized “country conditions” assessments on the most common claims in the rest. 

Back then, asylum applications were far more limited, with a backlog of about 106,000 in 2012.

It’s been over a decade since the State Department provided such comments, and in the interim, the backlog — nearly 2.36 million asylum applications in the nation’s 73 immigration courts alone — has grown so large our consular officers abroad would be powerless to respond to more than a sample.

The flood of cases, coupled with the relaxed evidentiary standards and the promise of a work permit for simply filing an application, has created a vulnerability that unauthorized aliens and more than a few attorneys and notarios — hucksters who pass themselves off as lawyers with no license or training — have exploited. 

Want proof? 

In the first six months of FY 2026 alone, more than 48,000 aliens who had already filed applications were ordered removed in absentia when they simply stopped going to immigration court. 

The only reason an immigrant would file an application and not appear thereafter is because the claims therein were worthless.

But going through the motions of making them was precondition to obtaining a work permit — and a Social Security number, which remains valid even after the employment document isn’t. 

Critically, and although DHS doesn’t spell it out, the department is not only going after “fraudulent applications” — in which one or more of the claims is false or fabricated — but “frivolous” ones, as well. 

A frivolous application is one in which the claims may be true, but they fail to satisfy the strenuous statutory requirements for asylum. 

To be granted asylum, an alien must show past persecution or a “well-founded fear of persecution” on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group or political opinion. 

Poverty, common crime and even violent conflict aren’t sufficient — but I have heard of claims from immigrants who argued the police back home give out too many parking tickets, the neighbors look at them funny, or the smog in their hometown causes asthma. 

Asylum applicants themselves might not know those claims are woefully insufficient, but licensed attorneys either do or should. 

With DHS consequences now in play, expect them to check the law and the facts before hitting send on an iffy application — or not send it at all.
