Emma – The highlight of the report was that the number of car accidents this year surpassed last year’s total. From January 1st through July 31st… Fire departments responded to 346 car accidents. In 2023, that total is 342. Let’s take a look at some of those accident numbers. In July alone of this year, departments responded to 60 car accidents. That’s nearly 14 percent of their calls that month… second only to emergency medical calls. Fires actually had the least calls. When comparing July of this year to last year… the department had a decrease in call volume. In July of this year, firefighters received 30 fewer calls. But the year as a whole was up.

He's scheduled to speak at the Lowndes County Sheriff's Office… located in Valdosta… this afternoon at 1 p.m. Vance will discuss border security… as well as immigration enforcement policies. It was a night of music, celebrity and politics on Day 3 of the Democratic National Convention. Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz takes center stage. ABC's Jacqueline Lee reports from Chicago. Day 3 of the Democratic National Convention was filled with powerhouses John Legend, Stevie Wonder and Oprah Winfrey lighting up the United Center. Former President Bill Clinton thanks Joe Biden for his service and willingness to relinquish political power. Oprah Winfrey criticizes Trump for his age and temperament, and is greeted with thunderous applause. Trump’s running mate J.D. Vance’s interview on childless women is targeted “When a house burns down, we don’t ask what race or religion the owners are. We just try to do our best to save them. And if the place belongs to a cat lady with no children. Well, we try to make her.” The cat got out, too. But for Democrats, the real star of the night was vice presidential candidate Tim Walz, who took a call from Kamala Harris, a public school teacher, his Midwestern neighbor and his most important role, father. “It took Gwen and I years, but we had access to fertility treatments. And when our daughter was born, we named her Hope. Hope. And I love you,” he said. One of the most poignant moments of the night — Walz’s son, Gus, who has a nonverbal learning disorder, sobbed as he appeared to say “This is my father” as Walz attacked former President Trump, warning that Harris’ opponents were a threat to democracy. Walz said: It’s an agenda that serves no one but the wealthiest people and the most extreme voices in our country. An agenda that does nothing for our neighbors in need. Is that weird? Sure. But it’s also wrong. In his speech, he compared the election to a football game — saying we’re in the fourth quarter and Kamala Harris is ready to win and serve. JL ABC CHICAGO SAVANNAH MAYOR VAN JOHNSON is currently in Chicago as a DNC delegate. He says he highlighted some of the city’s key accomplishments … for other Democrats. “I was featured in a video talking about what we were able to do with the bipartisan infrastructure bill in Savannah, how we were able to build affordable housing, and the grant opportunities including the $30 million FEMA Jobs Grant,” “This was the largest FEMA infrastructure grant in its history.” We asked Mayor Johnson if Vice President Harris would be coming back to Savannah… after Debbie canceled her last trip. He said she would be here… all they had to do was schedule it. Here’s a look at your 22nd traffic route. No problems on the roads this morning
