Your support helps us to tell the story
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.Two people were still in hospital today with serious injuries after a road crash which killed one person in the early hours of Christmas day.
Police said they were called to the A3102 Bath Road outside the Cooper Tires factory in Melksham, Wiltshire, at about 3.30am yesterday.
They said the crash involved a single vehicle, a blue Audi A6 with five people.
One passenger died and two others were taken to the Royal United Hospital in Bath with serious injuries. The road was closed for six hours.
Police have appealed for witnesses and anyone who saw the Audi before the crash to contact them.
The crash happened on the day two young brothers died and their mother was injured after their car crashed on a busy motorway.
The boys, aged four and 10, were killed after the car they were travelling in along the M6 motorway near Stoke-on-Trent crashed and overturned.
A 32-year-old woman who was also in the vehicle, believed to have been travelling from the Thames Valley area, was also killed.
Another female passenger was injured and taken to hospital for treatment, where she was in a stable condition, a police spokeswoman said.
Police said the crash happened on the northbound carriageway of the M6 near junction 15 at about 11.25am.
