This is a pretty good lede:
State
Rep. Constance Wei may find validating her opposition to a ban on cell phone
usage while driving more difficult after slamming into another car as she talked
on the phone.
... but there's a pretty big miss. When did it happen? Today? Yesterday? Six months ago?
Often, with news we are trying to highlight that it is new. Prominently saying when helps us do that.
Let's be sure we're using the 5 W's as a sort of checklist, to make sure critical elements are making the lede.
