Police suspect alcohol use in Md. crash that killed 2

WASHINGTON — Two people were killed in a two-vehicle crash Saturday morning in Crofton, Maryland, and one of the drivers may have been under the influence of alcohol, police said.

Reginald Dunn, 24, of Clinton was driving a Dodge Charger north on Crain Highway around 2:30 a.m. when he collided with the passenger-side door of a Nissan Altima that was crossing Route 3 northbound, Anne Arundel County police said in a news release. The Altima was then pushed into a tree and a pole.

The driver of the Altima, Marcus Spriggs, 26, and his passenger, Jasmine Mastin, 25, both of Crofton, were declared dead at the scene, police said.

Dunn was taken to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma with serious injuries.

Speed and the fact that Dunn may have been under the influence of alcohol are suspected factors in the crash, police said, but the primary cause is still under investigation.

Boston Symphony Orchestra and musicians extend contract for 48 hours, delaying possible first strike

BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Symphony Orchestra says it agreed with its musicians to a 48-hour extension of their collective bargaining agreement, allowing more time for negotiations to head off what could be the first strike in the ensemble’s 145-year history. The Boston Musicians’ Association said Saturday it had authorized a strike ahead of the expiration of the union’s three-year contract at 11:59 p.m. Sunday. The BSO said Sunday the contract had been extended to 11:59 p.m. Tuesday. BSO CEO Chad Smith said Sunday that the extension had been agreed to pending a ratification vote by the Boston Musicians’ Association and the Boston Symphony Orchestra Players’ Committee. The unions did not respond to a request for comment. The orchestra and management have had strained relations since BSO decided in March to force out music director Andris Nelsons next summer after 13 seasons.
