Good morning, Daytona Beach.

A small plane was forced to land on SR 44 near Taganana Drive just west of State Road 415 in New Smyrna Beach at 9:29 a.m. on July 19 — its lone pilot was uninjured and the FAA is investigating the emergency landing.

A head-on collision on U.S. 17 south of State Road 40 on Saturday killed a 16-year-old girl driving a 2020 Honda Civic and left a 34-year-old truck driver in critical condition — the crash remains under investigation.

Extreme heat hit Central Florida on July 20 with a heat advisory in effect from noon to 7 p.m.—temperatures in the upper 90s felt like 105-110 due to high humidity.

Today, near-record heat is expected to reach 96 degrees—feeling like the low 100s, so residents are advised to take breaks and stay hydrated.
