INDIAN ROCKS BEACH, Fla. - A corrections officer was killed in single-vehicle crash that left the Indian Rocks Bridge closed for most of the day while investigators tried to figure out what happened.
According to the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, it was around 3:30 a.m. when the driver of a Ford F-150 apparently lost control while heading westbound on the bridge and struck a concrete barrier.
That driver, later identified as Miguel A. Gonzalez, was ejected from the truck as it continued careening into a palm tree and two signs before eventually coming to rest on its side in front of 300 5th Avenue North.

Two Southwest Florida utilities said they use remote access in their computer systems at water treatment plants but have security measures in place to protect water supplies from events like what happened in Oldsmar last month.
Bonita Springs Utilities and Marco Island told the Daily News they have remote access to their computer systems, a vulnerability cited when the Oldsmar water plant was hacked. BSU has in place certain protocols that make an attack like Oldsmar less likely, BSU spokeswoman Jennifer Hamilton said in an email.
Hamilton said remote access for BSU is limited to approved vendors and staff access through secure firewall configurations.
Body-worn cameras
Maybe your school has a film department, but the most prolific cinematographers on your college campus are probably the police.
Since the early 2010s, body-worn cameras (BWCs) have become more and more common in the United States. This holds true for law enforcement agencies on university and college campuses. These cameras are attached to officers’ uniforms (often the chest or shoulder, but sometimes head-mounted) and capture interactions between police and members of the public. While BWC programs are often pitched as an accountability measure to reduce police brutality, in practice these cameras are more often used to capture evidence later used in prosecutions.

A prescription beyond Dr. Seuss | March 6
Thereâs much whining on social media about how âlibsâ are responsible for Dr. Seuss Enterprises striking six of the Seuss books from their sales. Donald Trump Jr. is super miffed that the only books on his nightstand have been âdisavowedâ by their publisher for their racist imagery. But it is the very profitable Dr. Seuss Enterprises itself that made the decision to strike these books for its own reasons. It sought opinions fr
