A dumpster truck crashed into a bridge support on Interstate 495 in Montgomery County, Maryland, on Sunday morning, causing delays.

“The entire rear section of the trailer of this truck configuration rests atop the hood and the windshield of the sedan,” said WTOP’s Dick Uliano, who is live at the crash site. “The front section of the trailer is perched at a higher-than-45-degree angle, reaching the underside of the bridge.”
Extensive debris and big delays are being reported in both directions of I-495.
Debris has been picked up on the outer loop with all lanes open on the outer loop.
Two hours in, it’s still pretty miserable on both loops of I-495 in Maryland (and out of Virginia, too!) because of the ongoing crash response at River Rd. Tune to 103.5 FM and https://t.co/Trjju7JGr5 for details on the 8s. #mdtraffic #vatraffic #dctraffic pic.twitter.com/Kx8d5Rzp9K

The Gophers football program received a commitment from Illinois prep quarterback Owen Lansu on Sunday.
The three-star, 6-foot-1, 185-pound prospect from Downers Grove North pledged to the U after attending a camp over the weekend.
“I’d like to thank the entire DGN football coaching staff for believing in me and pushing me to be the best version of myself,” Lansu said in his social-media posts. “I’d like to thank coach (P.J. ) Fleck, coach (Greg Harbaugh) and the entire Minnesota football staff for this incredible opportunity. With that being said I’d like to announce that I have committed to the University of Minnesota!! Ski-U-Mah!! RTB!!”
As a sophomore last season, Lansu completed 55 percent of his throws for 2,061 yards and 25 touchdowns. Downers Grove won 11 games and finished state runner-up in Class 7A. Lansu is expected to be a junior team captain this fall.
Lansu had eight scholarships offers, including from Northwestern and Cincinnati.
The Gophers also picked up a pledge from Maryland defensive end Kenedy Uzoma for the 2026 class over the weekend.
“I’ve found HOME!” Uzoma posted on X.
The 6-foot-5, 210-pounder also plays receiver, and had offers from Temple, Marshall and Bethune-Cookman.
The Gophers now have four pledges for the 2026 class.

BALTIMORE — A spectacular Sunday is on the way. Intense heat and humidity return next week along with afternoon storm chances.
Sunshine continues Sunday with temperatures climbing just a touch in the low 90s across the forecast area, unless you are in the mountains or near the water. Cooler water temperatures will help keep those afternoon highs in the upper 80s.
Heat and humidity become the big story next week. High pressure to our east will help pump in hot and muggy air. Highs return to the lower to middle 90s Monday afternoon. A few isolated storms will be possible during the afternoon and evening hours, but many places will not get wet as storms stay isolated.
Tuesday will be very warm and muggy. With extra cloud cover, our high temperatures stay in the middle to upper 80s. Isolated to scattered storms are possible during the afternoon and evening hours.
Wednesday through Friday will be very hot and muggy with highs in the lower to middle 90s. Feels like temperatures will reach 100° or higher during this stretch. There will be isolated to scattered storms Wednesday afternoon and evening. Thursday looks dry and very hot with highs in the middle to upper 90s. Friday has a tropical steam with highs in the lower to middle 90s with scattered afternoon and evening drenching thunderstorms.
Since we are headed into another heat wave, you’ll want to make sure you’re taking all of the heat precautions. Drink plenty of water, take breaks in the A/C, or find a way to cool your body down such as taking a cool shower or using a wet cool towel. Don’t forget to make sure to check on your pets, neighborhoods, and elderly during this next round of heat as well.

Apple reaches tentative contract agreement with unionized store employees in Maryland

Apple has reached a tentative collective bargaining contract with the first unionized company store in the country.
The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers’ Coalition of Organized Retail Employees, which represents the employees at a retail location in Maryland, announced Friday evening that it struck a three-year deal with the company that will increase pay by an average of 10% and offer other benefits to workers.
The agreement must be approved by roughly 85 employees at the store, which is located in the Baltimore suburb of Towson. A vote is scheduled for Aug. 6.
“By reaching a tentative agreement with Apple, we are giving our members a voice in their futures and a strong first step toward further gains,” the union’s negotiating committee said in a statement. “Together, we can build on this success in store after store.”
Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The deal came after workers at the store authorized a strike in May, saying talks with management for more than a year hadn’t yielded “satisfactory outcomes.”
The Maryland store is one of only two unionized Apple sites in the country. Employees there voted in favor of the union in June 2022, a few months before workers at a second Apple location in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, unionized with the Communications Workers of America. The second store has not secured a contract with the tech company.
Unions have scored headline-grabbing election wins in recent years, including at an Amazon warehouse in New York City, a Chipotle store in Michigan and hundreds of Starbucks stores across the country. But many of them have not secured contracts.
