​

Good morning, Cuyahoga County. A tale of two beaches unfolds this weekend as Villa Angela posts warning flags for high E. coli levels while Edgewater Beach earns a clean bill of health with its inviting 74-degree waters. This stark contrast in swimming conditions comes as Cleveland makes a splash in the superhero universe, with Progressive Field transformed into "LordTech Field" for Superman's latest cinematic battle. The upcoming blockbuster pays fitting tribute to the Man of Steel's Cleveland origins, where creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster first imagined him in the 1930s.

In a tragic turn overnight, a police chase ended in heartbreak when a suspected drunk driver fleeing deputies collided with another vehicle, claiming the life of a 37-year-old woman. The pursuit lasted just two minutes before the fatal crash, which began when officers attempted to stop the 24-year-old suspect for driving without headlights. Multiple open alcohol containers were discovered in the vehicle following the collision.
