Good morning, Bradenton. Here's your local news at a glance for Sunday, the 11th of May.

ACCIDENTS NEWS

  • A woman died after her car hit a pickup truck on Rutland Rd near US 301 when she ran a red light, and the Florida Highway Patrol said she was taken to a hospital where she later died as they continue to investigate the crash.  ABC7

GOVERNMENT NEWS

  • Manatee County Commissioners reviewed three residential development proposals—two in Tara and Crosswinds South received denials after local residents raised concerns about zoning compatibility, traffic, and flooding, and a Pope Ranch rezone request was continued for a full board vote at a later date.  The Bradenton Times
  • At a recent meeting, Manatee County commissioners deferred adopting a local wetland protection ordinance and approved a transmittal to repeal a rezoning policy as part of reversing unpopular changes made by the previous board—raising concerns of possible legal challenges under state law. They will also work on updating the comprehensive plan while addressing objections from local legal counsel.  The Bradenton Times

REAL ESTATE NEWS

  • Bradenton homeowners are advised to check plumbing fixtures, flush water heaters, inspect pipes, and clear clogged drains as spring begins—these tasks can help catch leaks or problems before they worsen. Mr. Rooter Plumbing— a Neighborly company— recommends hiring a professional when issues are found to avoid costly repairs later.  The Bradenton Times
