Here are the top stories today in Orange County:
- A Tesla crash in Newport Beach that killed three people on May 12, is being investigated by a special team sent by the U.S. government’s road safety agency. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating the crash as part of a larger investigation of crashes that may have involved an advanced driver assistance system, like Tesla’s Autopilot. The agency has sent a special investigation team to 34 crashes that may have been using the auto-drive systems at the time of the crash. Twenty-eight of the 34 crashes involved Teslas, according to an NHTSA report. (OC Register)
- This is a Disney fan's dream come true! A Hollywood voice-over artist will be auctioning off the world’s largest Disney memorabilia collection on Saturday, May 21, and Sunday, May 22. Voice-over artist Scott Rummell is selling a collection containing 45,000 pieces of Disney, Disneyland and Walt Disney World memorabilia — the largest collection of Disney memorabilia in the world. Heritage Auctions in Beverly Hills will host The Rummell Collection Disneyland Signature Auction. (OC Register)
- If you haven't stopped by the O.C. Zoo to submit names for the two sister mountain lions cubs, you have until May 22. Just stop by the O.C. Zoo exhibit, where you will find the orphaned cubs the zoo nursed back to health. Finalists will be announced later this month on social media, said O.C. Parks in a recent Facebook post. The O.C. Zoo thanked everyone who attended the Opening Celebration of the Large Mammal Exhibit this past weekend. The new 2-acre habitat is the home to an adult mountain lion, three orphaned mountain lion cubs, and an adult jaguar. (Facebook)
