• Passenger killed in single-vehicle crash in Springfield (wkrn.com) — A 27-year-old passenger was killed Monday afternoon in a single-vehicle crash at Sandy Springs Road and Lipscomb Road in Springfield, according to the Tennessee Highway Patrol. Investigators say the car left the roadway and hit a tree, and charges against the injured driver are possible as the crash investigation continues. 
• Children With Disabilities at Center of Bill Calling for DCS Collaboration (nashvillescene.com) — A Springfield-based state senator is helping shape new Tennessee legislation on how the Department of Children’s Services treats kids with disabilities and foster youth in custody. One bipartisan bill would boost collaboration and training to keep children with complex needs out of hospitals, while another, more controversial measure could extend sentences for youth in DCS care and is drawing pushback over fairness and oversight.
