10 injured in multi-vehicle crash; DMV recovering from severe storms | TOP STORIES

At our region this morning, yesterday, storms are in the rear view mirror. You're looking live there at a Reagan National Airport, the Capitol wheel, Gaithersburg and across our region. And as we begin this Sunday morning, there are thousands of people without power. Baltimore gas and electric is reporting that 11,000 customers are without electricity this morning. Dominion Energy showing 4,600 customers with no electric. Pepco is in a much better position. Last hour, Pepco's outages went from zero, but they are only at 79 outages right now. And Fox 5 is going to continue to track that as we go through this morning. If you've been driving on or riding on Amtrak lately, you know, yesterday was a bit of a mess on the rails this morning, dramatically different. Amtrak back on track this morning after a major signal outage on Saturday sparked a wave of cancellations. Some of those delays ran up to two hours for passengers along the East Coast this morning. The issues cleared up and the timetables show that all trains are now departing Union Station either on time or actually early. So that's good news. All eyes on the FIFA World Cup championship today. Right now, you are looking live at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, currently dubbed New York, New Jersey Stadium for the tournament. Now, more than a billion viewers are going to be turning in to watch this Sunday as Argentina tries to defend their FIFA title against that powerhouse team from Spain. Today's World Cup match is set to kick off at 3 p.m. And of course, you can watch that game right here where you are right now on Fox 5. Our local pregame coverage is going to start this morning at 10 a.m. right here on Fox 5. Mexico's president, Claudia Sheinbaum, says she's going to be attending this afternoon's World Cup final following an invite from President Trump. He will also be attending the championship game. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will be there, along with members of Spain's royal family, who will be taking in the game as well. All right. 802 this Sunday morning. We've had a bumpy weather weekend so far this morning. Gwen Talbert's here. Skies are a little bit brighter this morning. Temperature's not as bad. So things are looking up. Things are definitely looking up. The calm after the storm, Tom, I'm happy to say. We have a day that's just going to be downright pleasant. So unlike yesterday, I am going to encourage you to get out and try to enjoy it. So cooler and the sun is going to return 80 degrees. If you're headed out the door this hour, you've got some clouds. Windsor light coming in from the north northwest at nine miles an hour. And the feel like is only three degrees above the current temperature. So you can head out and it'll be pretty comfortable for you. Yesterday. Oh, my goodness. The storms, Fauquier County. A roof was blown off of a barn in Frederick County. A tree came down in a house. Various areas had downed trees and power lines. And unfortunately, in Gaithersburg, lightning struck a home. But happy to say that the residents and people in there are very safe. Seventy nine at Dulles this hour. Double sevens for Manassas and Fredericksburg. Seventy nine at Annapolis. Cumberland at 76 and 74 at Westminster. We've got just a few passing morning sprinkles and the clouds are there. That's going to get out of the way by this afternoon. Ridge of high pressure will move in. This frontal system is going to sink to the south. That could possibly spark off a few storms for lower southern Maryland, central Virginia and the northern Carolinas. Code Orange unhealthy for sensitive. That primarily only for Washington County. Garrett Allegheny. So if you are one of those people in that category, you'll have to pay attention. But elsewhere, it's code yellow, which is moderate and acceptable. So no problems there, except for anyone who is extremely sensitive to pollution. Happy to say that wildfire smoke is out of the picture for the most part. It's in the upper atmosphere. So not affecting anybody or any areas down at the surface for us. Here's a look at your planner for the day. No shortage of sunshine as we head into the 80s. And if you are headed out in the next hour or so, here's what you can expect.

Sounds good, Gwen. 804 this Sunday morning in Montgomery County, officials are investigating after a chain reaction crash left several cars wrecked yesterday. One of them was a Cessna Cybertruck, which was literally split in half this morning. Charges could be pending after all of this. And Fox 5's Virginia Ureta has the details from Silver Spring. This was a dramatic scene. And it's hard to believe that nobody was seriously hurt. Thankfully, there are no life threatening injuries, but we do know that 10 people were taken to the hospital with minor injuries. Now, take a look at some of these images. The impact was so powerful, it ripped a Cybertruck in half. Montgomery County Fire and Rescue, police and paramedics rushed to the scene. There's aerial footage capturing the emergency response, the wreckage and the backups that followed. Investigators say just before 2 p.m., a moving truck lost control on Columbia Pike and Fairland Road, crashing into at least 10 cars. More than a dozen people were evaluated after some became trapped inside the cars. Ten people, including three children, were taken to the hospital with minor injuries. Investigators are working to determine what caused the truck to lose control. But here's how residents reacted. Thank God everybody survived. You know, that was terrible. That was a terrible accident. So I'm just glad everybody survived. It is ongoing traffic, but it's much control, you know. I was a Virginia reader reporting for us this Sunday morning. I want to turn now to the latest on the war with Iran. This morning, the Pentagon has still not identified those two U.S. service members who were killed in Jordan. They were defending against a missile and drone attack by Iran. U.S. Central Command says four other U.S. service members were injured in that attack. And another is currently listed as missing in action this Sunday morning. We have new video for you that's been released by CENTCOM as the U.S. launched another wave of strikes against Iran. Yesterday, U.S. officials say they hit Iranian military coastal surveillance and air defense facilities, as well as maritime capability and missile and drone storage sites. The U.S. also targeted Iran's Revolutionary Guard, which launched those attacks against U.S. service members in Jordan on Friday. Meanwhile, the deaths of U.S. service members mark the first American military fatalities from Iranian fire since March in all since the start of the war between the United States and Iran. In late February, 16 U.S. service members have been killed and more than 430 wounded. More I get there to say, if the U.S. attacks continue for another two or three days, we will enter a phase of full scale offensive. There's risk to our military that's in the region. But I also think it makes it unbelievably plain to the world that you have to win this. The Strait of Hormuz is Iran's number one strategic asset. Well, the U.S. Central Command says the latest attacks aim to keep Iran from restricting oil tanker traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. As you get your Sunday started, let's take a look. Some of the other top stories we're following for you right now in the Fox 5 newsroom. A man accused of murdering his three month old daughter is going to stand before a grand jury tomorrow. Fairfax County police say the 28 year old Ms. Riel Lopez Gomez admitted to attacking his child for, quote, personal pleasure back in March when she was taken to the hospital and later died from blunt force trauma. Gomez is also accused of illegally entering the United States back in 2023. A Maryland family is safe this morning after a lightning strike near their home. Take a look at these pictures. That fire was sparked by a lightning bolt on the property at Warfield Road. This happened just before five yesterday morning. It displaced a family of five. Montgomery County fire officials say residents smelled the smoke first, then they went outside and then they saw that that fire was burning up on their roof. The estimated damage in all of this, eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars. A local community here is going to be remembered next week on Tuesday, July 21st. That is the birthday of fallen D.C. police officer Terry Bennett. You may remember he was the victim of a crash along I-695 in late December and died two weeks later. Now, Officer Bennett's family plans on hosting an event at Landsberg Park in southwest D.C. on July 25th in his honor. It is set to run from 1230 to 5 p.m. Bennett's family is hoping people turn out for this. They're inviting the public to come out and support this event. The latest politician to throw their hat in the ring for South Carolina Senate seat is Representative Ralph Norman. He launched his bid to fill late Senator Lindsey Graham's seat. President Trump is urging Graham's sister, Darlene Graham, to seek a full term in office after she was appointed to finish out Graham's term. This Tuesday marks the deadline to run in the special election, which will be held next month. Well, this morning, more than 7000 Americans are sickened with a cyclosporine outbreak and at least 100 right here in the DMV. While some Midwest outbreaks have been traced to shredded lettuce, the scare is driving many in the DMV to start seeking out local farm markets. Is that a good idea? Well, officials at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health say farm markets could actually be a safer option because they're likely sourced from local growers in our area. But they add no produce right now is risk free and the exact source of that outbreak still has not been determined. All this may have some consumers wondering if the scare could actually drag down some grocery prices. Food economists say anxiety over potentially tainted greens. It could cause a drop in demand, which results in quicker discounts at the register. But remember, it comes at a time when supermarket lettuce prices were already up more than 30 percent over the past year. Now, experts warn health scares like this one often cause panic shopping. It could drive down demand for salad greens, including things like spinach and spinach mixes. This brings us to our live Fox 5 Instapoll this morning. We're asking, are you shopping a little bit differently right now? In response to the cyclosporia outbreak, all you have to do is scan the QR code there right there on your screen. Let us know what you think. Right now we have 44 percent saying yes, about 50 percent, a little over 50 percent saying no.
