George Alvarez killed eight people and injured 10 others when he lost control of his SUV in Brownsville

A Texas man has been charged with eight counts of manslaughter, after mowing down a group of people with his SUV near a homeless shelter.

George Alvarez killed eight people and injured 10 others.

Investigators revealed the driver lost control of his vehicle, but did not rule out the crash being intentional.

They are waiting for toxicology reports to determine if Alvarez was driving under the influence.

“Through the investigation, it was found that the SUV ran a red light. Lost control, flipped on its side, and struck a total of 18 individuals,” Brownsville Police Chief Felix Sauceda told a press conference.

“The driver of the vehicle later identified as George Alvarez had attempted to flee the scene after impact, but was held down by several individuals on scene.

“George Alvarez is a Brownsville local with an extensive rap sheet. He has been formally charged and arraigned with eight counts of manslaughter, ten counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.”

In a statement, the Venezuelan government called for an investigation into whether it was a crime of hate and xenophobia.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
