• Teen Charged In Crash That Killed Germantown Woman (patch.com) — Germantown residents are learning that a 19-year-old Boyds man has been charged in the rollover crash that killed local resident Mary Elizabeth Moody at Great Seneca Highway and Mateny Road last July. Police say his blood alcohol level was 0.20, he had used marijuana, and data show he was driving about 94 mph in a 55-mph zone before the collision. 
• Federal transportation officials consider plan to scrap DC's traffic cameras (wtop.com) — A Germantown commuter is weighing in as federal transportation officials consider a proposal that could eliminate all automated traffic cameras in Washington, D.C., potentially affecting many local drivers. The plan has sparked strong pushback from D.C. leaders, who argue cameras improve safety and fund city services, while many regional commuters complain the system feels like an expensive money grab.
