STORY 1 wreck
A tragic car crash occurred in Smyrna, resulting in the death of a 15-year-old male passenger. The crash took place around 10:18 p.m. on East-West Connector near Creekside Villas Way. According to the Cobb County Police Department, an 18-year-old driver was traveling west at a speed well above the 45 mph limit when the vehicle left the road onto the grass shoulder.

Story 2: hit
A hit-and-run accident in Smyrna involving a moped has left the rider with serious injuries. The incident took place on Smyrna Powder Springs Road near Vineyard Way. A 31-year-old Marietta man was eastbound on a black moped when a vehicle turned left from Vineyard Way in front of him. This caused the moped rider to skid and overturn, and the other vehicle ran over both the moped and the rider. The driver of the other vehicle fled the scene, heading west on Smyrna Powder Springs Road. The moped rider was hospitalized with serious injuries. Police are searching for the vehicle, possibly a Jeep, with undercarriage damage, and are seeking information from the public.
Story 3: court
Two veterans have graduated from the Cobb County Veterans Accountability and Treatment Court, an 18-month program designed to help veterans address issues related to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

STORY 4: student
Marietta Middle School was temporarily placed on a "hold" by the Marietta Police Department to address an insubordinate student. As a result, students were kept in their 4th-period classes for an additional 15 minutes. The school's principal, Diona Brown, assured parents that the situation occurred in an isolated area of the campus, and no students were at risk during the incident. After the police department's assistance, the school resumed its normal schedule, and the principal promised to maintain open lines of communication with parents regarding any matters affecting the school and their children.
STORY 5: art
The partnership between Wellstar and Augusta University Health Systems (AUHS), announced in December, officially commenced operations. This 40-year agreement will see Wellstar invest nearly $800 million over the next decade in AUHS facilities, including Augusta University Medical Center. This partnership aims to enhance healthcare across Georgia, expand telemedicine programs for rural areas, and address the state's physician and nurse shortage. Despite criticism from some state lawmakers, Wellstar defends its hospital closures, stating that they were due to aging infrastructure, low patient volumes, rising labor costs, and the loss of coronavirus relief funds, making them distinct from the new partnership with AUHS. The unified system resulting from this partnership will be called Wellstar MCG Health.

Story 6: ksu
In the season opening college football game between Kennesaw State and Tusculum, Kennesaw State's quarterback, Jonathan Murphy, made an impressive play midway through the third quarter. He executed a pirouette to evade a defender and ran for a 55-yard touchdown. However, in the same game, during the fourth quarter, Kennesaw State's Deonte Morris intercepted a pass and had a clear path to the end zone. Instead of scoring an 80-yard touchdown, he dropped the ball right before crossing the goal line. His teammate, Jordan Miles, picked up the ball and was credited with the touchdown. Despite the mistake, Coach Brian Bohannon emphasized the lesson learned and the importance of hustle. Morris may be teased by his teammates but has hopefully learned from the experience. The Owls went on to win their opener 38-7
Story 7: gilbert
Nebraska tight end Arik Gilbert, a former Georgia transfer and highly-rated prospect, was arrested in Lincoln for his alleged involvement in a break-in at a vape and liquor shop. Gilbert is accused of attempting to steal over $1,600 worth of vape products, cigars, lighters, and Delta 8 after breaking into SJ's Liquor and Vape Shop around 2 a.m. Police found him shirtless inside the store when they responded to a burglary report. Gilbert was arrested without incident after he crawled through a shattered glass door. He is charged with burglary, which is a felony, and faces a potential 20-year prison sentence. Gilbert appeared in court via Zoom and decided to represent himself, but the judge appointed the public defender's office to represent him. He was granted bond at $5,000, with a $500 payment required for release, and is scheduled for another court appearance next month.
