Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A mother and three children escaped unhurt yesterday when their car was hit by a train. Kim Turner, 32, Jade Turner, five, Callum Turner, three and Jessica Bloom, five, of Leconfield, Yorkshire, suffered only cuts and grazes in the collision at an unstaffed level crossing near the village of Beswick.
The driver of the train was in shock after the accident and was replaced by a relief crew. The crossing is just a few miles from another on the same line where nine people were killed in July 1986 when a train struck a van.
