Traffic changes near Denver International Airport moved up after crash involving parking lot shuttle
Planned changes near the Denver International Airport have been moved up after a fatal crash involving a parking service shuttle earlier this month. On July 15, a shuttle belonging to an off-site parking service near the airport was in a crash with a pickup truck, which claimed the life of one of the shuttle passengers and seriously injured several others. Since then, plans for several projects to improve road safety in the area have been moved up. Now, drivers will only be able to make left turns at 81st Avenue and Tower Road on a green arrow. Three more intersections will soon see that change as well, including Tower Road and 83rd Avenue, and 88th Avenue.

Two boys airlifted to Salt Lake City hospital after being tossed from pickup truck in Duchesne County
TABIONA, Utah () — Two boys in Duchesne County were airlifted to a hospital in Salt Lake City after they were thrown from the back of a pickup truck on Thursday evening. The Duchesne County Sheriff's Office said the two boys, ages 9 and 6, were riding on the tailgate of the truck, driven by a 19-year-old family member. The three boys were reportedly on their way to change water wheel lines when the truck hit a bump in the road near 4000 North and Tabby Lane near Tabiona. Both the 9-year-old and 6-year-old fell off the truck and sustained serious injuries. Duchesne County Sheriff's Office said emergency services immediately responded to the scene and called two medical helicopters due to the severity of the boys' injuries. Both children were flown to Primary Children's Hospital, where they are reportedly receiving 'advanced medical care.' It is currently unclear exactly what injuries the boys suffered. 'This is a heartbreaking incident,' said Sheriff Travis Tucker in a media release. 'Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this incredibly difficult time.' An investigation into the incident is ongoing, according to the Sheriff's Office.

Toyota Rumored To Be Working On Plug-In Hybrid Pickup Truck
Toyota Rumored To Be Working On Plug-In Hybrid Pickup Truck originally appeared on Autoblog. Hybrid pickups have become increasingly popular in recent years, with Ford and Toyota leading the way in the U.S. However, these have been conventional hybrids that can't be plugged in. It seems that plug-in hybrid systems - which add a lot more weight and complexity - are not yet considered a good fit for pickups. That could be set to change over at Toyota, with a report from Japanese magazine Best Car indicating that a PHEV version of the Hilux pickup could be sold when the new one arrives in March next year. While America has the Tacoma, the Hilux is Toyota's mid-size pickup in other markets, so could a Tacoma PHEV be on its way here too? Based on a Drive report, Best Car suggests that the plug-in hybrid Hilux will appear alongside the diesel variant in March next year. No technical details were shared, so it's unknown what this hybrid pickup's battery capacity or all-electric range could be. It would be a far cry from any other Hilux, as Toyota has so far only gone as far as installing a 48-volt mild hybrid system in the pickup. In America, Toyota's midsize Tacoma can be ordered with a non-plug-in hybrid powertrain known as the i-Force Max. Producing 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque, it has a lot of power, but its efficiency of 23 mpg is good rather than remarkable, and merely matches that of certain non-hybrid Tacomas. According to an article from CNBC in May, Toyota plans to increase PHEV sales volumes in the USA from 2.4% last year to 20% by 2030, as the brand continues prioritizing hybrids over EVs in this market. 'We are going to grow our PHEV volume through the lineup over the next few years,' David Christ, head of the Toyota brand in North America, told CNBC at the time. 'We love the PHEV powertrain. We're working to increase, perpetually increase, the amount of miles you can drive on EV-only range.' While that statement doesn't guarantee there'll be a Tacoma PHEV, Christ didn't rule out any particular segment of body style, either. Toyota has experience with smaller PHEVs like the RAV4 and Prius, but the Tacoma is a much larger, heavier vehicle, so may require an all-new engine. Then again, the 2026 RAV4 PHEV makes 320 hp, so it's not lacking in power. If the rumors hold and the Hilux PHEV succeeds in markets like Australia, this could encourage Toyota to work on getting a Tacoma PHEV developed. Ford already sells a Ranger PHEV elsewhere, so this could make for a spicy tussle at some point in the future, should both automakers release such models here.
