SUMMARY: State leaders in Alabama are planning safety improvements at the dangerous Highway 53 and Pinedale Road intersection in Limestone County. The project, announced by Governor Kay Ivey, will add turn lanes to ease traffic flow and reduce severe crashes. The intersection has experienced several fatal and serious accidents, including a notable collision between a Greyhound bus and a car that resulted in multiple injuries and one death. Funded by the Rebuild Alabama Act, the $1.25 million project is in early stages and expected to take about two years to complete. Additional safety projects on Highway 53 are also nearing completion.

Governor Kay Ivey and other state leaders visited Ardmore on Friday morning to give details on a much-needed traffic safety project.

SUMMARY: Pensacola police are warning residents about a crime called “jugging,” where suspects follow individuals after they withdraw money from ATMs. Two victims were recently robbed of over \$2,000 when their vehicles were targeted. Suspects often observe withdrawals inside banks or at drive-through ATMs before trailing victims to their next destination, such as shopping centers or homes. Once the victim exits the vehicle, the suspect breaks the window to steal the money. Police advise discretion when handling large sums of cash and recommend calling 911 if followed, without stopping. Jugging has become a widespread crime across the U.S.

Two Pensacola residents became victims this week after being followed and then robbed after withdrawing money from an ATM — a crime police refer to as “jugging.”
