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.

An 11-year-old boy died following a car crash, police said today.

The accident happened on the flyover on Straight Mile, in Rugby, Warwickshire, shortly before 4.30pm yesterday when the Ford Mondeo the boy was travelling in collided with a black Mercedes estate.

A five-year-old boy, who was also in the silver Mondeo, was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

A 42-year-old man and a 41-year-old woman who were in the front of the Mondeo suffered serious injuries and are being treated in hospital.

The man who was driving the Mercedes suffered a number of minor injuries, but was not taken to hospital.
