TO HEAR, HEAR BACK. IN SEMINOLE COUNTY, TWO PEOPLE ARE DEAD AFTER A MOTORCYCLE AND THREE TRUCKS GOT INTO A CRASH IN GENEVA. OFFICIALS SAY THAT IT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT JUST AFTER 8:00 ON EAST STATE ROAD, 46 AT REST HAVEN ROAD. THEY SAY BOTH PEOPLE KILLED WERE ON THE MOTORCYCLE AND ONE PERSON FROM A TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL WITH MINOR INJURIES. FIVE OTHERS STAYED AT THE SCENE. WE ARE STILL WORKING TO LEARN EXACTLY WHAT LED UP TO THIS CRASH. IN ORANGE COUNTY, TROOPERS ARE LOOKING FOR THE PERSON WHO HIT AND KILLED A MAN YESTERDAY. THEY SAY A 56 YEAR OLD BITHLO MAN WAS CROSSING COLONIAL DRIVE NEAR THIRD STREET IN BELVEDERE ROAD ON A BICYCLE WHEN HE WAS HIT. THEY SAY HE WAS NOT IN A CROSSWALK AND THEN DIED AT THE SCENE. TROOPERS BELIEVE THE VEHICLE IS A FORD SUV WITH FRONT RIGHT DAMAGE. ANYONE WITH INFORMATION IS ASKED TO CALL CRIMELINE IN VOLUSIA COUNTY. NO ONE WAS HURT AFTER A CAR WENT UP IN FLAMES IN DAYTONA BEACH. TAKE A LOOK AT THESE PICTURES. OFFICIALS SAY THE FIRE STARTED UNDER THE HOOD OF THE CAR AFTER THE DRIVER SMELLED GAS. CREWS WERE ABLE TO QUICKLY PUT OUT THE FLAMES. OFFICIALS ARE STILL INVESTIGATING WHAT CAUSED THE FIRE. AT 704 NOW, YESTERDAY, SOME OF MY COLLEAGUES WERE AT THE COME OUT WITH PRIDE FESTIVAL TO CELEBRATE THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY. THE FESTIVITIES KICKED OFF WITH A SIGNATURE PARADE.

BUT TODAY IS ABOUT LOVE AND THE BEAUTIFUL CITY OF ORLANDO WHERE WE LOVE EACH OTHER NO MATTER WHAT. WITH MUSIC AND EVERYTHING. HE WASN’T THE ONLY POLITICIAN PUSHING BACK ON REPUBLICAN BACKED LAWS AIMED AT RESTRICTING TRANSGENDER HEALTH, DRAG SHOWS AND WORKPLACE DIVERSITY TRAINING. FORMER STATE REPRESENTATIVE CARLOS GUILLERMO SMITH IS RUNNING FOR STATE SENATE. RIGHT NOW, WE ARE SEEING SO MANY ATTACKS AGAINST OUR COMMUNITY FROM TALLAHASSEE, WHICH IS WHY YOU’VE SEEN RECORD TURNOUT. THEY WANT US TO BE FEARFUL. BUT OUR MESSAGE IS ONE OF HOPE AND ONE OF LOVE, BECAUSE LOVE ALWAYS WINS. LOCAL BUSINESSES LIKE BNY MELLON JOINED THIS PARADE TO LET THE COMMUNITY KNOW THEIR WORKPLACES ARE SAFE PLACES THAT FOSTER FAIRNESS AND EQUALITY.
