A young girl is dead after a car crash in the Kensington section of Philadelphia. It happened around 7:15 p.m. Monday at North 2nd and West York Streets. Police say a 3-year-old girl was in the car with her 43-year-old mother when the accident occurred. It wasn't immediately clear what caused the crash or how many vehicles were involved.

Police say a young boy who was found wandering alone in a park in Wilmington, Delaware has been reunited with his mother. Authorities say the boy, believed to be about 2 or 3 years old, was found around 6 p.m. Monday in Speakman Park in the 200 block of East 30th Street. Police searched the park and surrounding area extensively but were unable to locate a parent or guardian. Police reached out to the public for help and were able to trackdown the boyâ€™s mother. She told police that she had left the child in the care of his stepfather, who is believed to have been with the boy at the park before the two became separated.

Olympic officials in Rio have apologized after discovering they were raising an incorrect Chinese national flag during medal ceremonies.
Both Chinese flags are red and feature a large yellow star flanked by four smaller stars. But there are subtle differences in how the smaller stars are aligned. Viewers in China spotted the mistake and took to Sina Weibo - a Chinese social media site - to complain, according to China NewsService (CNS), the state-run news agency.
