LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — Good morning and happy Wednesday!
We’re halfway through the week, and there’s plenty happening in our community and beyond.
Here’s what you need to know to start your day informed and ready for the week ahead.
Let’s dive into today’s top stories:
FOX5 took to the Motor Speedway with Las Vegas Metro Police to show just how dangerous sudden stops can be at high speeds.
With 10 traffic deaths already recorded this year and motorcycle fatalities climbing, officers demonstrated proper braking techniques that could save lives.
The results? Eye-opening lessons every driver needs to see.
Governor Lombardo is the latest Nevada lawmaker to weigh in on the deadly ICE shootings in Minnesota, calling for a thorough review of the situation. However, he cautions Americans to avoid jumping to conclusions on the situation.
His response comes as Nevada’s congressional delegation come from both sides of the aisle to demand changes to ICE tactics as the crackdown in Minnesota continues.
Here’s what’s being said:
The City of Las Vegas is seeking developers to build affordable housing for artists being priced out of their own creative community. But longtime residents aren’t holding their breath, saying they’ve heard these promises before.
With out-of-town buyers snapping up properties and leaving them empty while artists struggle to afford rent, can this plan actually deliver real relief?
Bundle up this morning with temps in the upper-30s, but don’t get too comfortable with that jacket. Las Vegas is about to heat up with a gradual warm-up bringing spring-like 70s by Thursday.
The dry streak continues with no rain in sight for at least the next week, so get ready to trade those winter layers for shorts and t-shirts.
