Tragedy Strikes on M5 Motorway as 17-Year-Old Girl Loses Life
A 17-year-old girl died after a tragic incident on the M5 motorway in Somerset. She was being transported to custody by Avon and Somerset Police when she exited a stationary police vehicle and was subsequently struck by a car. The collision occurred between junctions 24 and 25 around 23:00 GMT, and the girl was pronounced dead at the scene. Police have expressed their condolences to her family and are providing support during this difficult time. The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) has launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident, and motorists are encouraged to share any dashcam footage or witness accounts to aid in the inquiry.
In technology news, the new MacBook Pro models featuring M4 chips have just been launched, sparking speculation about future releases. Analysts predict that the upcoming M5 chip series will be integrated into new MacBook Pro models slated for release next year. Current expectations suggest these M5 models may not include significant design changes, with a more substantial redesign anticipated in 2026.
Fujifilm has introduced the X-M5 camera, aiming it at beginner creators and vloggers. Priced at $799, the compact mirrorless camera boasts a 26-megapixel sensor and advanced video capabilities, positioning itself as an affordable option for aspiring photographers and videographers.
Meanwhile, Apple is reportedly delaying the release of a more affordable Vision Pro headset until after 2027, focusing instead on refreshing the current model with a new M5 chipset set to arrive next year. The original Vision Pro, which launched at a premium price, has underperformed in sales due to market perception and a lack of clear use cases.
Lastly, the M5 motorway experienced severe delays recently due to a lorry fire that caused all lanes to close. Following emergency responses, the motorway has since reopened, although repairs continue, affecting two southbound lanes. Motorists faced delays of up to four hours as a result of the incident.
