Three Teens Killed in Spring Break Crash 

A single-vehicle crash in Florida during spring break killed three high schoolers from Horizon Christian Academy in Cumming and left a fourth critically injured.

The wreck occurred Monday in Franklin County, Florida, when the car carrying the teens reportedly left the roadway and struck a tree before catching fire.

The teens who lost their lives were an 18-year-old boy from Alpharetta, and 17- and 16-year-old girls from Cumming. A 17-year-old girl from Alpharetta was transported to a hospital in critical condition.

  Masters Blooms Add to Showcase

The azaleas and dogwoods at Augusta National Golf Club are in near peak form this week, providing a stunning backdrop at the Masters Tournament.

Grounds crews have spent months cultivating the blooms that define the tournament’s visual identity. Overall, the course features more than 350 plant species.

Golf course designers say Augusta National sets the gold standard because of its near-perfect conditions, achieved through massive resources, meticulous agronomy, and unique practices.

Celebrity Jet Rolls into Port

A Boeing 707 once owned by Frank Sinatra and later by John Travolta arrived at the Port of Brunswick this week.

The jet, which Sinatra reportedly owned in the 1970s, is being shipped to an aircraft museum in Australia after years in storage.

You can see photos of the plane during transport on the road and at the port here.
