     After crashing into the Jeep, Lutchmansingh jumped out of the BMW and fled the crash scene on foot but was apprehended a short distance from the crash by Teaneck Police Officers and Bergen County Sheriff's Officers. Officers at the scene found five people in the Jeep Compass that sustained injuries. All five were transported to area hospitals for treatment. Lutchmansingh was also transported to an area hospital for treatment that he suffered in the collision.

     While investigating at the scene and due to the severe injuries of the Jeep's occupants and due to the nature of the collision, Sheriff's Officers notified the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office Fatal Accident Investigation Unit responded, and Detectives launched an extensive investigation into the head-on collision.

      During the subsequent investigation, Detectives learned that the license plates on the BMW were previously reported stolen, and cocaine was found inside the BMW. It was further determined that two of the Jeep's occupants suffered serious injuries and remain hospitalized in critical condition.

     Accordingly, as a result of the investigation, Detectives formally charged Lutchmansingh with third-degree Leaving the Scene of an Accident Resulting in Serious Bodily Injury; third-degree Possession of a Controlled Dangerous Substance; third-degree Motor Vehicle Altercation; fourth-degree Resisting Arrest; fourth-degree Receiving Stolen Property; two counts of fourth-degree Assault by Auto; and three counts of a Disorderly Persons Offense of Assault by Auto, as well as multiple Motor Vehicle Offenses.

     Lutchmansingh was served with the charges at the hospital, where he remains in the custody of the Bergen County Sheriff's Office pending his first appearance in Bergen County Central Judicial Processing Court in Hackensack, New Jersey.

FBI Investigating Apparent Assassination Of Former President Trump

Suspect In Custody In Apparent Assassination Attempt Of  Trump At Trump International Golf Course

Sunday, September 15, 2024, 6:00 P.M. ET. 1 Minute Read, By Jennifer Hodges: Englebrook Independent News,

WEST PALM BEACH, FL.- The FBI is currently investigating what they have called an apparent assassination attempt on Former President Trump at the Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach, Florida, that occurred just after 1:30 p.m. Sunday.

     Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said that the U.S. Secret Service agents fired at a man pointing an AK-47 rifle with a scope through a chainlink fence. Bradshaw further said the gunman also had two backpacks hanging on the fence and a GoPro camera. The gunman was about 300 to 500 yards away from Trump. 

     An advance team of agents two holes away from the Former President spotted the gun and then fired four to six shots at the suspect, who has been identified by a law enforcement official as Ryan Wesley Routh. Routh then ran from the bushes, jumped into a black Nissan SUV, and fled.

     A nearby witness saw Routh running out of the bushes and quickly took a picture of the vehicle and license plate, which led Routh to be apprehended in nearby Martin County, Florida.

     Sunday's incident is the second time in two months that the Former President has had an attempt made on his life. Trump was shot in the ear on July 13th during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, that tragically killed a man and left two others critically injured.

     Shortly after the incident, Trump was safely returned to his home at Mar-a-Lago, a four-and-a-half-mile ride from the golf course. 

     This is a developing story; updates will be provided as provided by law enforcement officials.

Amanda For You: Beginning Your Work Out

Tips To Getting Started In The Gym & Beginning Your Daily Workout

Friday, September 13, 2024, 11:00 A.M. ET. 3 Minute Read, By Amanda Scarlata: Englebrook Independent News,

MORRISTOWN, NJ. For today's article, I will discuss getting started in the gym and give you girls some tips to help you feel more comfortable while beginning your journey. For some of you who have never worked out in a gym setting, it might feel intimidating, especially when surrounded by people who have been in the gym for some time.

     Remember, "everybody starts somewhere," So please do not get discouraged.

     I began my fitness journey in 2018, shortly after graduating high school and starting college. Growing up, I maintained an active schedule and played multiple sports, but I never ventured into a gym for weight lifting. I am quite the foodie, and being away at college meant I would have to stay active to keep myself healthy.

     While at college, I began working out at the gym in my dorm building and then at an actual gym whenever I came home on breaks. I was unfamiliar with the equipment and how to improve myself. I now look back and laugh that I was the "typical" stereotypical girl who would come into the gym, jump on a treadmill for a few minutes, and do a few simple leg and tummy workouts before leaving.

     Over the years, I began watching others in the gym to learn how the equipment works and to gain inspiration to work out. I also started researching techniques on the internet.

     As crucial as cardio is for cardiovascular health, weight training is even better for helping you lose weight while maintaining your bone and muscle health. Many assume that cardio is the best way to burn calories and reduce fat; weight training helps your body continuously burn calories even after your workout, as your body will still burn calories as your muscles recover and repair.

     Many women often get nervous about weight training because they are afraid they may get too big or too "bulky," but I am here to show you that this is not the case and how beneficial it will be for you.

     A great start to weight training is learning what exercises target which muscle groups. There are many different workout routines that one can follow, known as the workout "split." The various muscle groups for training can simply be broken down into upper-body workouts and lower-body workouts. For those who are new to working out in a gym, I often recommend alternating upper-body days and lower-body days. Upper-body workouts should involve your back muscles, chest and shoulders, and arms, while lower-body days should be for all of your legs.

     As you progress in the gym, your workout split can become even more complex by breaking up your muscle groups. For example, you can begin training your back and biceps one day and your glutes and hamstrings the next day, your chest and triceps another day, glutes and quads, and then a day for shoulders. You must train all muscle groups so you do not develop muscle imbalance. Soon, I will begin posting workout videos to provide great beginner workouts for all your muscle groups.

     Never let the gym or others make you uncomfortable or intimidated. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have or any workout questions! amandaforyous@gmail.com. Don't forget that the gym staff is always there to help you. Feel free to ask them if you are unfamiliar with equipment or how something works.
