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.

A driver has crashed their car into the window of a Sainsbury’s supermarket in Derby.

The red Audi hit the store in Osmaston Park in Allenton at around 10pm on Saturday and ended up in the pet food aisle of the store.

Derbyshire Roads Policing Unit tweeted about the incident, saying: “In-store cleaner required in the pet food aisle please.”

The unit confirmed an investigation into the incident was “ongoing”, and initial CCTV of the crash “shows a poor standard of driving” in the car park.

It also confirmed that there were no injuries, “but lots and lots of damage”.

The crash left products and shelving strewn across the shop floor.
