- A judge ordered the man accused of causing a deadly wrong-way crash on Interstate 270 to remain held without bond, finding him to be a danger to the community.
Jose Antonio Caballero-Nolasco, 32, is accused of driving a Ford Mustang north in the southbound lanes while impaired before striking a Toyota Camry head-on near Democracy Boulevard.
The crash killed 46-year-old Musammat Shamima Begum and her 23-year-old daughter, Areebah Jahin. An 8-year-old girl suffered life-threatening injuries and was listed in critical but stable condition. The Camry’s 62-year-old driver suffered minor injuries.
Charging documents reveal that someone called 911 about the wrong-way Mustang minutes before the collision. Investigators reported finding beer cans inside the Mustang and said Caballero-Nolasco showed signs of possible alcohol impairment at the hospital. His blood-test results remain pending.

- Commercial passenger flights could be coming to Washington Manassas Airport after the Federal Aviation Administration awarded the facility a Part 139 Airport Operating Certificate.
The certification means the airport has satisfied federal safety requirements for certain commercial airline operations. However, no airline has formally announced service from Manassas.
Airport Director Juan Rivera said officials hope the first flights will begin in November 2027, in time for Thanksgiving and the winter holidays. The airport initially expects approximately three or four daily round trips, likely operated by a low-cost or ultra-low-cost carrier.
Early routes could focus on vacation destinations such as Orlando, with possible business destinations including Chicago and Charlotte added later. Airport officials expect to announce the first airline before the end of the year.
A new passenger terminal is scheduled to open in fall 2027, while a n...

- A mother and daughter were killed, and two other people were injured when a wrong-way driver struck their car head-on on Interstate 270 in Montgomery County, Maryland, police said.
Musammat Shamima Begum, 46, and Areebah Jahin, 23, of Virginia, were passengers in a Toyota Camry traveling in the southbound lanes near Democracy Boulevard. Police said a Ford Mustang traveling north in those lanes crashed into the Toyota.
The Toyota’s 62-year-old driver and an 8-year-old girl were taken to hospitals. Their conditions have not been released.
Police identified the Mustang driver as Jose Caballero Nolasco, 32, of Germantown. Investigators said they believe impairment may have contributed to the crash.

- Description
- Prince George’s County Public Schools says it has assigned bus routes to the initial backlog of approximately 10,000 students affected by the district’s first-week transportation breakdown.
Denise Douglas, PGCPS associate superintendent of communications and community engagement, told 7News anchor Josh Chapin that transportation employees worked around the clock through the weekend to clear the backlog.
Problems remain for students who registered after the July 31 deadline, while the district continues correcting routing errors and lengthy bus rides.
Douglas said no single issue caused the failure. The new Chipmunk bus-tracking app crashed on the first day of school, and the transportation department lacked the staff capacity to manage the technology transition and volume of routing problems. She said a bus driver shortage was not a factor.
The district is also changing transportation leadership and plans a telephone town hall to ...

- President Donald Trump touted renovations and major construction projects across the White House grounds while announcing that Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to visit the United States.
Trump said the White House exterior has been restored and highlighted construction of a new heliport, military complex and ballroom. He compared the planned ballroom to Beijing’s Great Hall of the People, which he visited during a trip to China.
The $400 million ballroom project remains at the center of a legal battle over whether the administration could proceed without congressional approval. The Supreme Court recently allowed construction to continue temporarily while it considers the administration’s request.
Trump said the ballroom will provide the United States with a world-class venue for official events while the broader project strengthens security at the White House.

- The Washington Commanders have finished the preseason, but some of the team’s most difficult decisions are still ahead.
Washington must reduce its roster to 53 players by 6 p.m. Sunday, meaning roughly 38 players are expected to be released or waived. Competition remains especially intense among the running backs, wide receivers and defensive backs, while injuries and preseason performances have raised questions about depth along the offensive line.
Players who clear waivers could return when the Commanders begin forming their practice squad Monday. Washington can carry a 17th practice-squad player through the NFL’s International Player Pathway program.
Once the roster is finalized, the Commanders will turn their full attention to their regular-season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sept. 13.

- The Baltimore Ravens overwhelmed the Washington Commanders 41-3 on Friday night, completing an undefeated preseason with a dominant performance.
Tyler Huntley completed all four of his passes on Baltimore’s opening drive, including a 25-yard touchdown strike to Chris Moore.

The Ravens outgained the Commanders 456-177 and held a 26-7 advantage in first downs. Washington converted only one of its 12 third-down attempts.
Jonathan Ward added a touchdown run before Dontae McMillan broke free for 63 yards in the fourth quarter. Austin Reed followed with a 20-yard touchdown pass to Cornelius Johnson.

- 7News investigates toxic heavy metals in baby food
- Runtime

- Description
- Groundbreaking research is revealing when babies may be most vulnerable to metals entering their developing brains and bodies.
Researchers examined baby teeth, which preserve a daily record of early exposure much like growth rings in a tree. The study identified 6 to 9 months of age as a particularly critical window when metal exposure can affect brain development.
That period often coincides with the introduction of baby food, yet the United States still lacks enforceable nationwide limits covering toxic heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury in those products.
Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill., is renewing his push for the Baby Food Safety Act. The proposed legislation would establish limits for heavy metals, mandate product testing and strengthen the Food and Drug Administration’s enforcement authority.
The FDA launched its Closer to Zero initiative in 2021, but deadlines for proposed arsenic and cadmium limits pa...

- Description
- A major proposal could transform Virginia’s Interstate 95 Express Lanes by allowing traffic to travel in both directions at the same time and extending the system farther south.
Transurban, which operates the I-95 Express Lanes, has entered into an agreement with the Virginia Department of Transportation to study the project. The concept calls for new Express Lanes between the Capital Beltway and Franconia-Springfield Parkway, three lanes in each direction from there to Prince William Parkway and two lanes in each direction through the Fredericksburg area.
The company also wants to extend the lanes another 10 miles from their current endpoint near Route 17 to Spotsylvania Parkway.
VDOT has begun an environmental assessment examining potential effects on traffic, nearby properties, natural and historic resources, air quality and noise. Transurban anticipates potentially reaching a financial agreement with VDOT in 2029, but the project has not bee...

- Description
- Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones is investigating whether the Greene County Sheriff’s Office violated state or federal law while assisting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement with traffic stops that resulted in 49 arrests.
A letter obtained by 7News shows Jones’ Office of Civil Rights requested policies, training materials, complaints, communications and footage related to the sheriff’s traffic stops and immigration-enforcement activities.
Republican Del. Karen Hamilton accused the Democratic attorney general of politically targeting Sheriff Steven Smith, a supporter of President Donald Trump’s immigration policies. Former acting ICE Director Jonathan Fahey also questioned the investigation and argued that the participating deputies have federal immunity.
The inquiry could become a test case for whether Virginia sheriffs may continue partnering with ICE after Gov. Abigail Spanberger approved new restrictions on state and local invo...
