From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A couple were killed on Saturday night when an out-of-control car ploughed into them as they left a pub following a family Christmas party.
Dorothy Ward, 53, was killed instantly and Gordon Hughes, 45, died later in hospital after they were hit by a Opel Manta which had spun out of control and flipped over before careering into them. The couple had just waved goodbye to the landlord at the White Lion pub in Swinton, Greater Manchester, and were on their way home when the tragedy occurred. The Manta, driven by Stewart Unsworth, 43, hit two cars before flipping over and smashing into the pub window.
A man has been arrested in connection with the incident and has been released on police bail.
