  • Summary

  • Good afternoon, Austin. This is Morgan Riley with your local news update.

    Word on the streets of Austin is that multiple incendiary devices were found at a Tesla dealership on U.S. Route 183 early Monday morning. Austin Police Department's Bomb Squad responded to the scene just after 8 AM and safely took the devices into custody. The FBI is now leading the investigation, with assistance from local authorities. This incident follows a string of similar attacks on Tesla properties across the country in recent months.

    In transportation news, the Texas Department of Transportation is warning drivers to expect significant delays on I-35 through Round Rock following a major multi-vehicle crash that occurred yesterday afternoon. The accident, involving 10 vehicles, resulted in at least one fatality and multiple injuries. Cleanup and investigation efforts are ongoing, so please plan alternate routes if possible.

    Shifting gears to a more uplifting story, local artist Jiab Prachakul is making waves with her first solo museum show at The Contemporary Austin. Born in Thailand and currently residing in France, Prachakul's bold, graphic style and unique perspective are challenging the Western-dominated art world. The exhibition, titled "Sweet Solitude," opened last Friday and runs through August 3rd. It's a must-see for art enthusiasts and culture lovers alike.

    Looking ahead to this weekend, the annual Pecan Street Festival is undergoing some big changes. After decades in downtown Austin, organizers have announced that the popular art and music festival will be relocating. Citing concerns about recent changes to Sixth Street and other factors, the festival's future location remains uncertain. Stay tuned for updates on this beloved Austin tradition.

    As for the weather, we're looking at a beautiful spring week ahead. Expect sunny skies and highs in the mid-70s through Friday, with a slight chance of showers moving in for the weekend.

    In community events, don't forget that South by Southwest kicks off this Friday, March 7th, bringing a whirlwind of music, film, and interactive experiences to our city. And for sports fans, Rodeo Austin returns to the Travis County Expo Center from March 14th to 29th, featuring ProRodeo events, livestock shows, and daily concerts.

    As we wrap up today's update, let's take a moment to reflect on how these stories shape our vibrant, ever-changing city. From challenges in public safety to celebrations of art and culture, Austin continues to evolve while maintaining its unique character.
