• Driver Trapped After Pickup Goes Off Bridge In Valencia Crash (hometownstation.com) — A driver was seriously injured when a pickup plunged nearly 100 feet off a bridge embankment near Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, landing upside down by the Santa Clara River basin. Firefighters worked for several minutes to free the trapped driver, who was taken as a trauma patient to Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital. Authorities are still investigating what caused the late-night crash. 
• Did the founders create a Christian nation? No, but religion did shape their thinking (sentinelcolorado.com) — A Santa Clarita-based professor at The Master’s University is featured in a national debate over whether America’s founders intended a Christian nation, arguing they were neither strictly Christian nor purely deist. His perspective, alongside other historians, explores how religious belief influenced early ideas about rights, government, and church-state separation that still shape today’s political and cultural battles.
