Good morning, Beaumont.

Two 18-year-old best friends, Riley Ard and Tracyn Brady, died when a Honda Accord — driven by Ard — did not yield to a tow truck on FM 92 north of Silsbee at about 11:30 p.m. Thursday, and DPS is investigating the crash.

Three people were taken to the hospital after an apartment fire affected multiple units on the 4200 block of Houston Street in south Beaumont at about 12:05 p.m. Friday, and firefighters mostly contained the blaze to the attic—officials are still investigating the cause while residents were displaced.

Beaumont police arrested three suspects after raiding two houses on Cable Avenue and an apartment on Texas 105 — a 53-year-old was found with narcotics, a 26-year-old with a handgun, and a 62-year-old with outstanding warrants — and all were booked at Jefferson County jail.
