Officials say millions of honeybees escaped into a rural Texas neighborhood after a semitrailer carrying about 400 hives tipped over. The crash happened Sunday morning in Orange County, Texas, located east of Houston and bordering Louisiana. Orange County emergency officials shut down the area and warned residents to stay in their homes while crews worked to unload the trailer and salvage as many hives as possible. No bee stings or serious injuries were immediately reported. The truck was headed to North Dakota. Officials haven’t identified the owner of the hives.

The Nevada Board of Parole Commissioners has denied parole for ex-NFL player Henry Ruggs. Nearly five years ago, Ruggs killed a woman in a car crash in Las Vegas. Ruggs is a former Raiders wide receiver. He drove his sports car at up to 156 mph and crashed into 23-year-old Tina Tintor's vehicle. Prosecutors said his blood-alcohol level was 0.16%. Ruggs pleaded guilty in May 2023 to felony DUI causing death and misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter. He was sentenced in August 2023 to three to 10 years in prison. Ruggs will face the parole board again before his August 2027 release date. His attorneys say Ruggs continues to feel sorrow over Tintor's death.

Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Gordon S. Wood has died. He was 92. Police say Wood died Sunday after being struck by a car in a supermarket parking lot in East Providence, Rhode Island. Wood wrote many books and was a longtime professor at Brown University. His book “The Radicalism of the American Revolution” won the Pulitzer in 1993 and contended that the war eventually created a society fundamentally different from that of Colonial times. Wood never gained the mass popularity of David McCullough or Doris Kearns Goodwin, but his writings were widely reviewed, debated and consulted and his opinions frequently sought.
