Preston Ordone, the "Okay Baby" viral star, has tragically died after a car crash -- and now, chaos is breaking out between his family and cops, with both sides clashing over a crucial detail in his death.

The 2-year-old died on April 24 after the 2011 Ford F-150 pickup truck he was riding in with his parents, Katelynn and Jaelan, veered off the road and slammed into a tree, according to Louisiana State Police.

Katelynn and Jaelan survived the impact in St. Tammany Parish, north of New Orleans, with substantial injuries. Cops say they believe Preston wasn’t properly secured in his car seat, a claim strongly disputed by the boy's grandfather, Glen Norris.

Police body cam footage from Druski's October 2024 wacky arrest has surfaced on the internet ... and no, it's not a skit, although it may give you a few chuckles.

He got hauled off to jail, but had trouble fitting in the back of the cop car!!! 😩

The video unfolds with an Atlanta Police officer spelling out the situation for Druski after being spotted allegedly running a stop sign.

For those of you who’ve had your share of speeding tickets, just imagine putting your pedal to the metal, only to have your car’s accelerator top out at -- or below! -- the speed limit.

A new measure under consideration in New York City could really clamp down on repeat speeders with accelerator-restrictor technology ... particularly focusing on speeders cited on surface streets and in school zones. The city could end up mandating the accelerator restrictors to force chronic speeders to involuntarily slow down.

The devices are part of a pilot program known as Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA). Some use GPS data and maps to determine the correct speed depending on your car’s location. Some makes and models already have this technology installed as of a year ago. Vehicles that do not currently have ISA would have to be modified to add the technology.

Justin Bieber is continuing his crusade against paparazzi ... this time going live on Instagram Friday, catching photogs allegedly closely following him in vehicles while he is on the road himself.

He is clearly peeved by the scenario ... at one point yelling to an officer from his window to complain about the drivers being "reckless."

The "Yummy" singer seemingly puts his phone down, disrupting footage of the paps ... but you can easily hear him complaining ... "This is getting crazy man, no joke."

Alijah Arenas' Cybertruck ended up wrapped around a tree in an L.A. suburb early Thursday morning -- and the cause is still a mystery -- but investigators do NOT believe alcohol or drugs were a factor.

TMZ Sports spoke with our law enforcement sources ... and we're told LAPD didn't observe any signs of intoxication at the scene, just moments after the 18-year-old 5-star recruit was pulled from his burning vehicle around 4:55 AM.

After Arenas was transported to a local hospital, cops followed up ... but the soon-to-be USC basketball star was already intubated (tube down his throat), so no blood draw was done.

Jillian Lauren Shriner's got a gun in her hand, pacing around her backyard before being shot by police in a hail of bullets ... and it's all on video.

LAPD just released footage -- including police body cam video -- from this month's intense interaction with the wife of Weezer bassist Scott Shriner... a showdown that featured guns drawn, shots fired and Jillian arrested for the attempted murder of a cop.

Surveillance video from the Shriners' house in L.A. shows Jillian going into her backyard with a handgun in one hand ... as law enforcement scours the area for an unrelated hit-and-run suspect that fled into her neighborhood.

Adrian Peterson was busted for DWI Thursday night in Minnesota ... where the Vikings legend was booked into the county jail, even posing for a mug shot.

TMZ Sports has learned the former league MVP was pulled over at 3:20 AM in an Audi Q5 ... after a state trooper says they saw AP speeding, going 83 in a 55 MPH zone.

The cop suspected Peterson, 40, was drunk ... and when the future Hall of Famer ultimately submitted a breath sample on the scene, he blew a .14.

Six police officers died in a plane crash in Thailand Friday -- and the harrowing incident was all caught on video.

Check it out ... the small plane is seen plunging out of the sky near the Thai beach town of Hua Hin, but as it nosedives into the ocean, the witness shuts off their camera, and we don't see the impact.

Other videos show first responders fishing a body out of the water, and aerial footage shot from another plane shows the wreckage in the water.

The Weezer bassist's wife was seen leaving their home in the Eagle Rock neighborhood of Los Angeles Wednesday afternoon ... holding tightly to his wrist with one hand while carrying a red leather travel bag on her right arm. No injuries are visible, but she may be needing the extra support due to a gunshot wound to her shoulder following her police encounter earlier this month.

The two are packing up the car ... unclear where they're going -- but, we doubt it's far given the charges facing Lauren.

The frat bros behind The Chainsmokers' ASU gig -- yeah, the one cops rolled up on this past weekend -- are telling TMZ it was chaos from the jump ... 'cause even getting the bash up and running was a manic last-minute scramble.

The president of ASU's Phi Gamma Delta -- AKA FIJI -- chapter and fellow board members tell TMZ the first house they locked in for the gig straight-up failed, thanks to a plumbing disaster that flooded the yard days before ... so they had to haul all the gear out and pivot fast.

They tell us it was so last-minute, the event wasn’t even officially confirmed until 16 hours out -- and to top it off, cops were already on the scene before the party had even started.

Cops say a prankster tried to throw Gordon Ramsay into the frying pan ... calling in a bogus 911 report of a shooting at the famous chef's Los Angeles home.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... LAPD officers responded to the call at 8:40 PM Tuesday after an unknown person called in a report of a gunman opening fire at Gordon's mansion in Bel Air.

But, we're told when the cops arrived, they didn't find so much as a dish out of place ... police say they even spoke with neighbors who confirmed nothing had happened. Our sources say Ramsay was not home at the time.

Check it out ... the suspect, Marius Mutu, is seen pinning the girl to the ground outside the building as she screams and cries for help. The girl swears to god she didn't do anything wrong, but her words fall on deaf ears. Mutu won't let her go.

Bennington Police tell TMZ ... Sophie's body was found not far from a high school in Bennington around 4 AM on April 14, and she was declared dead at the scene.

We're told her body was near a lean-to -- a makeshift structure made from downed trees -- and nothing is being ruled out at this point in terms of a cause of death.

9:25 AM PT -- Shannon Sharpe and his attorney, Lanny J. Davis, have vowed to address the audio later Tuesday.
