From bomb threats to house fires and car crashes, the weekend was full of unexpected events. Read on to catch up on the madness!

In Miami Beach, the SLS Hotel was evacuated due to a reported bomb threat, keeping police busy rendering the establishment safe. Meanwhile, in Norwood Park, a driver was hospitalized and a car totaled following a crash on North Elston Avenue.

Tragedy struck in Queens Village as four individuals were injured in a house fire, with one man resorting to jumping from the second floor to escape the flames. In Delaware County, businesses faced disruption as tractor-trailers continued to hit bridges, causing chaos and delays.
