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.ONE PERSON was killed and nine injured last night when a car ploughed into a wall and then a crowd outside a Birmingham nightclub.
The West Midlands Ambulance Service said the accident happened outside the Dome club in the city centre. A spokesman said: "The scene is complete carnage and we're doing everything we can to help. It seems the car ploughed into a wall and then into pedestrians who may have been queuing to go to the club."
Fire engines were also called to the scene. A spokesman said the deceased was a male pedestrian. Cutting equipment was used to free a male driver from the car which ploughed into the pedestrians; another car was believed to have been involved in an original collision.
Peter Kenney, who was at the nearby White Lion pub, said: "I've never seen anything like it. One minute everything was normal and the next it was like a massacre."
