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.

A security camera has captured a rather unexpected sight - a FedEx delivery man trying, and failing, to jump into his van as it rolls down a road.

It isn't quite clear how he ended up in the predicament as the video starts with the van driving up the hill and disappearing out of view.

There’s a few moments pause during which some local dogs start to get very excited at something happening in the direction the van went.

Then you see it - first the van rolling down the hill, then the delivery man attempting to jump into the driver seat.

As the van gathers speed, seemingly hurtling towards a house, he soon gives up. Luckily the van narrowly misses the house - and a tree - instead crashing into a garden wall.
