Driver flips $400,000 Lamborghini on California highway
The California Highway Patrol responded to the crash at 12:14 p.m. The car's occupants suffered minor injuries in the crash.
CHP was unable to provide Nexstar's KRON with additional information about the crash. However, CHP's social media post suggests that speed may have been a factor.
President Trump says he will reopen Alcatraz prison in San Francisco
'CHP officers used a patrol vehicle to push the Lambo off the roadway, preventing further crashes,' the CHP's Santa Cruz office shared on social media. 'This crash was preventable. Please slow down! Highway 9 is not a racetrack.'
CHP did not provide the model of the Lamborghini. However, based on photos of the crash, the car appears to be a Huracán STO. Edmunds values the car at roughly $400,000.

The Great American EV Fire Sale Is About to Begin
If you are thinking about buying an electric vehicle, the clock is now ticking. President Donald Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill' has officially passed Congress, and with it, a countdown that will kill the popular $7,500 federal tax credit for new electric vehicles. You now have less than three months to act. The tax credit officially expires on September 30, 2025. Initially, there were rumors the EV credits would last 180 days from when the bill was signed, a six-month grace period. This law is the centerpiece of Trump's second term, a legislative victory he can claim alongside his mass deportation initiatives as a promise kept to his base. It includes sweeping changes to the American economy, including cuts to social programs like Medicare and new work requirements for food stamp recipients. But one of its most immediate and tangible impacts is a full scale assault on clean energy incentives, and walks back some of the progress made under the Inflation Reduction Act, which previously supercharged EV sales with consumer-friendly subsidies. For consumers, the most significant change is the termination of the EV tax credit. While it was initially rumored the credit might be phased out over six months, the final version of the bill accelerates the timeline dramatically. After September 30, the $7,500 credit for new EVs will be gone. The smaller $4,000 credit for used EVs will also disappear on the same date. The bad news for clean energy does not stop there. The 30% tax credit for rooftop solar installations is now set to end on December 31, 2025, as are incentives for geothermal heat pumps and other home energy devices. The new law also dismantles the regulatory framework that has pushed automakers to produce more electric vehicles. It effectively guts the federal Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards by reducing the penalties for noncompliance to zero. Previously, automakers who failed to meet fuel efficiency targets had to pay steep fines or buy regulatory credits from more efficient companies like Tesla. Now, that financial pressure is gone. In a related move, Congress has revoked the EPA waivers that allowed California and the 17 other states that follow its lead to enforce stricter emissions rules, including Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandates. These state level programs required automakers to sell a certain percentage of zero emission vehicles or purchase credits from competitors. Without the federal waivers, these state mandates are no longer legally enforceable. For automakers, this means the financial incentive to produce and sell EVs has been significantly weakened. For a company like Tesla, which earned substantial profits in recent years from selling these credits to less compliant automakers, it means a key revenue stream has vanished. But for the average person, the message is much simpler: the era of federally subsidized electric vehicles is coming to a very abrupt end. If you're in the market for an EV, this is your last call. After September 30, the $7,500 and $4,000 tax breaks disappear. And unless there's a dramatic shift in power, they aren't coming back anytime soon.

Russia targets Kyiv with largest missile, drone attack of war after Trump, Putin speak
Moscow pounded Kyiv and other cities in Ukraine with the largest missile and drone attack since the three-year war in Eastern Europe started, less than a day after President Trump spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Kremlin's military launched 550 drones and missiles at Ukraine during the overnight attack, according to Ukraine's air force. Most of the drones were Shahed drones, but 11 Russian missiles were also fired. Ukraine's officials said the attack hit residential buildings, lit cars on fire and damaged ambulance vehicles. One person was killed and at least 24 people were injured, according to Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko. Klitschko wrote on Telegram that 12 people were in the hospital and that five ambulances were damaged. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wrote Friday morning on the social platform X that the first air raid alerts in Ukraine's cities went off 'almost simultaneously with media reports discussing a phone call between President Trump and Putin. Yet again, Russia is showing it has no intention of ending the war and terror.' Russia's defense ministry stated it had intercepted 48 drones launched by Ukraine. Russia's attacks on Ukraine came less than 24 hours after Trump talked with Putin. The president said Thursday he made 'no progress' on attempts to end the three-year war between the two sides. Later Thursday, the president told reporters he was 'very disappointed' with his conversation with Putin. 'I'm very disappointed with the conversation I had today with President Putin, because I don't think he's there. I'm just saying, I don't think he's looking to stop, and that's too bad,' Trump said late Thursday. Trump spoke over the phone with Zelensky on Friday morning. Ukraine's president described the conversation as 'important and fruitful,' noting the two leaders touched on Russian strikes on Ukraine and 'broader frontline developments.' 'We spoke about opportunities in air defense and agreed that we will work together to strengthen protection of our skies. We have also agreed to a meeting between our teams,' Zelensky wrote on X after the call with Trump on Friday. 'We had a detailed conversation about defense industry capabilities and joint production,' Ukraine's leader added. 'We are ready for direct projects with the United States and believe this is critically important for security, especially when it comes to drones and related technologies.' Trump's calls with Putin on Thursday and conversation with Zelensky on Friday morning were the first interactions with the leaders since the Defense Department halted delivery of some air defense missiles and munitions to Ukraine over concerns of depleting U.S. stockpiles. 'We're giving weapons … and we're working with them and trying to help them. But we have — you know, [former President] Biden emptied out our whole country giving them weapons. And we have to make sure we have enough for ourselves,' Trump told reporters Thursday afternoon. Trump has pushed to end the war in Eastern Europe that kicked off with Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in late February 2022, but with limited success. Putin told Trump during their call that Russia would not refrain from its military goals in Ukraine, according to the Kremlin's readout. Putin did not discuss the weapons pause with Trump and said Russia is willing to continue talks with Ukrainian officials, said Yuri Ushakov, Putin's close aide.

Russia launches record drones into Ukraine, including Kyiv
July 4 (UPI) -- One person died and 26 were injured in record Russian airstrikes throughout Ukraine's capital Kyiv on Friday, one day after U.S. President Donald Trump said he was "disappointed" that Russian President Vladimir Putin wasn't ready to end the three-year war. Several thousand residents spent the night in shelters, including subway stations or underground parking lots during eight hours of drone and missiles strikes, CNN reported. "Absolutely horrible and sleepless night in Kyiv," Ukraine's Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrii Sybiha said about the nonstop strikes. After the two presidents spoke on the phone, Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the "Special Military Operation," which started in February 2022, will continue until they've met their objective. Trump said that "no progress" had been made to end fighting, which began after Russia invaded Ukraine. Trump said he planned to speak with Zelensky on Friday. Ukraine's air force said the the 550 drones, 72 of which penetrated air defenses, surpassed the previous record of 537 launched last Saturday night. Air raid alerts sounded overnight in Kyiv, the "main target of the strikes," the Ukrainian Air Force said on Telegram. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said it was a "brutal, sleepless night" as he condemned one of the most "demonstratively significant and cynical" attacks of the war. "Notably, the first air raid alerts in our cities and regions yesterday began to blare almost simultaneously with media reports discussing a phone call between President Trump and Putin," Zelensky posted on X. "Yet again, Russia is showing it has no intention of ending the war and terror." Again, he urged international allies, including the United States, to put more pressure on Russia to end the war and to impose harsher sanctions. "All of this is clear evidence that without truly large-scale pressure, Russia will not change its dumb, destructive behavior," Zelensky said. "For every such strike against people and human life, they must feel appropriate sanctions and other blows to their economy, their revenues, and their infrastructure. This is the only thing that can be achieved quickly to change the situation for the better. And it depends on our partners, primarily the United States." Some shipments of critical weapons to Ukraine have been halted by the United States. Trump blamed former President Joe Biden for "emptying out our whole country giving them weapons, and we have to make sure that we have enough for ourselves." A German government spokesperson said his nation is in talks with the U.S. to buy Patriot air defense systems to give to Ukraine. The commander of Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces warned the number of long-range drones used by Russia could reach 1,000 or more daily. The airstrikes damaged railway infrastructure, as well as schools, businesses and vehicles in the capital, including five ambulances that were summoned. The Polish consulate also was damaged, said Poland's Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski, who called on the U.S. to "restore supplies of anti-aircraft ammunition to Ukraine and impose tough new sanctions on the aggressor." With air pollution levels in the city "high," according to the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources, residents were warned to stay indoors, not to ventilate rooms and use air purifiers at maximum if possible. "This attack happened immediately after Putin's conversation with Trump, and it confirms that Trump is a scoundrel, just like the fact that the U.S. wants to stop aid deliveries and he is not helping in any way during his presidency," one Kyiv resident, Yuriy, told CNN. One body was found in the rubble in the Svyatoshynsky district, the leader of the Kyiv city military administration, Tymur Tkachenko, said. Also hit were the Sumy, Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk and Chernihiv regions. Russian Defense Minister Andrey Belousov said the "massive" strikes were in response to the "terrorist acts of the Kyiv regime." A woman was killed in a Ukrainian drone strike on a village not far from the border on Friday night, the acting governor of Russia's southern Rostov region said. Copyright 2025 UPI News Corporation.
