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.Four people died and six others were injured yesterday in two multiple pile-ups which brought chaos to busy stretches of the M6 motorway.
Three of the deaths came when three lorries and two cars were involved in a collision between junctions nine and 10 near Wednesbury, West Midlands, at about 6.15am. A lorry driver and the driver of one car were confirmed dead at the scene and a second truck driver died later at Walsall Manor Hospital, a West Midlands Police spokesman said. The fourth victim died in a pile-up shortly afterwards near Garstang, Lancashire. The crashes caused tailbacks of up to 40 miles.
