Minnesota man sentenced to 59 years for crash that killed 5 young women
A Minnesota man was sentenced to nearly 59 years Thursday for causing a crash that killed five young women who were out making preparations for a friend's wedding. Derrick Thompson admitted his guilt for the first time and begged for forgiveness at an emotional sentencing hearing. He said he was sorry for what he did and 'there is not a day I don't ask God why he didn't take me instead and let your beautiful angels still be here,' the Minnesota Star Tribune reported. But relatives and friends of the victims offered no forgiveness at the hearing. Instead, they attacked Thompson for waiting until his sentencing to admit his crimes and putting their families through two criminal trials. A state court jury convicted the 29-year-old from the Minneapolis suburb of Brooklyn Park of third-degree murder and vehicular homicide for the June 2023 crash that killed Salma Abdikadir, Siham Adam, Sabiriin Ali, Sahra Gesaade and Sagal Hersi. His defense claimed during the trial that Thompson was not the driver of an SUV that ran a red light and plowed into a Honda Civic. The victims, between 17 and 20 years old, were on their way home from preparations for a friend's wedding. Their deaths sparked sorrow and outrage in Minnesota's sizable Somali American community. 'I hope reality suffocates you for the rest of your life,' said Sundus Odhowa, Siham Adam's older sister. 'You should never know freedom again. You should never know peace.' Authorities say Thompson was driving a rented Cadillac Escalade SUV at more than 100 mph (160 kph) down a freeway in Minneapolis before exiting, blowing through the red light and smashing into the sedan in which the young women were riding. Minnesota inmates typically serve two-thirds of their sentences in prison and one-third on supervised release. With credit for 767 days of time already served, Thompson could go free in about 37 years. Thompson, who already had a felony record, was convicted separately in November on federal drug and firearms charges. He's still awaiting sentencing on those counts. Thompson is the son of a former Democratic state representative from St. Paul who was sharply critical of police during his one term in office.

Man, 64, in "critical condition" following horror crash with bus
The driver of the red Honda was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow following the incident. A 64-year-old man is in a 'critical condition' following a road crash between a bus and a car in Renfrewshire. Emergency services raced to Main Road in Elderslie around 1.55pm on Tuesday afternoon following the collision that involved a red Honda Civic and a McGill's bus. The driver of the car, a 64-year-old male, was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow for treatment and police have now confirmed his condition as critical. A 51-year-old female who was a passenger in the car was also taken to hospital to be checked over. The road was closed between the junction for Glenpatrick Road and the roundabout for Linwood Road and the A761 for several hours. The roundabout itself was not closed. A witness at the scene told the Paisley Daily Express: 'Even two hours after the crash, it looked quite serious. Police were putting up more tape to extend the cordon. 'We could see paramedics and police treating a person at the side of the road. They looked quite shaken up. There were lots of police cars and emergency services. It's such a busy road at the best of times and it was shut both ways. 'It was causing absolute chaos, people were doing three-point-turns and going back the direction they came as they were getting fed up waiting in the delays. It looked like a bad one – the car had suffered more damage than the bus.' The 54-year-old male driver of the bus and the passengers on board were uninjured in the incident. Police confirmed the road was reopened shortly before 8pm. Officers are continuing to review CCTV footage from the area for further information on the collision and are now appealing for witnesses. Constable Ian Brown from road policing said: 'I am appealing to anyone who was in the area at the time to contact us. Some of the bus passengers had left the scene before we arrived and I would ask them to please get in touch. "It's vital we have as much information as possible as we work to establish the full circumstances of the crash.' A spokesperson for McGill's Group added: 'We can confirm that one of our vehicles was involved in an incident on Tuesday afternoon in Elderslie, when a car collided with the bus as it was pulling into a stop. 'No passengers or the driver of the bus were injured.' Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland via 101, quoting incident number 1797 of Tuesday, July 15.
