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.

An elderly woman died after her mobility scooter collided with a bus, police said.

The victim, in her 70s, was riding along Hollway Road in the Stockwood area of Bristol on July 19 when the crash happened shortly before 10am.

The pensioner was taken to Bristol Royal Infirmary, where she died later that day.

A spokesman for Avon and Somerset Police said: "We are keen to hear from anyone who may have information to help our inquiries.

"Anyone able to help is asked to contact the collision investigation unit on the force number 101."
