A Lion Air Boeing 737 passenger plane with 189 people on board has crashed into the sea shortly after taking off from the Indonesian capital, Jakarta. Flight JT 610 was headed for Pangkal Pinang, in the Bangka Belitung Islands, when it lost contact. Rescuers have recovered some remains and there is no sign of survivors. The cause of the crash, involving a new plane in operation since August, remains unclear. Lion Air is Indonesia's largest low-cost carrier. The incident is reported to be the first major accident involving a Boeing 737 Max - an updated version of the 737.

In local news,

The lives of two Warwick high school students were claimed after an elderly woman who was reported to have been driving recklessly collided with their car outside of the school. Five people were taken to the hospital that were injured during the accident, with a total of eight cars involved. Ephrata students and faculty are encouraged to wear red tomorrow to show our support for Warwick's students, staff, and community members.
