Elderly couple killed in New Jersey car accident

Posted on Thursday, February 16th, 2012 at 10:43 pm    

A Vineland couple was traveling home on Wednesday afternoon when they were involved in a fatal car accident. Both of them passed away due to their injuries sustained in the accident.

The couple, both 77-years-old, knew each other in high school and reconnected in their later years. They were married in the 1990s and have been inseparable ever since. They were less than one block from their home when they were struck by another vehicle.

The second driver was a 17-year-old who escaped the accident without injuries. Police have begun investigating the accident, and at this time no charges have been made.

We would like to extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of the victims.

Owner cited for on-air dog bite

Posted on Thursday, February 9th, 2012 at 8:48 pm    

The owner of an Argentine mastiff that attacked a Denver news anchor has been cited for failing to keep the dog on a leash and for not properly vaccinating the animal.

The news anchor was interviewing a firefighter, who saved the dog from an icy lake the day before, and the owner on her news segment. She was petting the dog throughout the segment, but when she bent down to get closer the dog bit her on the face.

She was taken to the hospital where she had reconstructive surgery. The surgeon said the surgery went well, and she expects to be back at work in a few weeks.

Investigation into deadly Florida crash still underway

Posted on Thursday, February 2nd, 2012 at 7:49 pm    

Early Sunday morning along the lanes of Interstate 75, fog and smoke caused drivers to crash into one another. The result ended in 11 people dying and several others sustaining injuries.

A local brush fire mixed with immense fog caused the ability to see clearly diminish. Vehicles were trying to pull over on both sides of the highway when they were hit by other vehicles trying to do the same thing. Survivors of the crashes were saying that their visibility of the area was at zero percent.

A family of four was traveling back to Georgia when they were involved in a collision. Three of the four family members were killed in the crash. Investigation into the crash is still underway and officials are still not sure what caused the initial car accident to take place.

Woman Dies After Consuming Health Drink

Posted on Thursday, January 26th, 2012 at 9:00 pm    

An 88-year-old New Jersey woman has passed away after she drank the suggested serving size of a health drink and was contaminated with Vitamin D poisoning.

A wrongful death lawsuit has been filed by the woman’s family and alleges that the health drink, Gary Null’s Ultimate Power Meal, led to the woman developing kidney and heart problems. The woman consumed the beverage on a regular basis over a three-month time period.

The creator behind the health drink, Gary Null, has stated that the manufacturers of the powder acted negligently when a batch of the drink contained more than 1000 times the daily dosage of Vitamin D. Null, himself, experienced severe side effects from drinking the powder out of that batch and ultimately sued the manufacturers as well.

Less fatalities recorded in Monmouth County for 2011

Posted on Thursday, January 19th, 2012 at 8:40 pm    

Statistics have just been made public by the New Jersey State Police concerning fatal accidents in the state for the 2011 fiscal year. These statistics show a large, overall increase across the state. A small number of the 21 counties saw a decrease in fatalities for 2011, including Monmouth County.

There were 35 people who were killed in traffic accidents in Monmouth County in 2011, which is ten less fatalities than in 2010 when there were 45 deaths. Unfortunately, there were more counties with an incline in fatalities rather than a decline and the total number of fatalities for the state of New Jersey was 638.

State police are running reports in order to determine factors that could have led to the incline in fatal accidents in the state. The reports should be ready within the next few weeks and will show a detailed description of each county and their corresponding fatalities.
