Marti was flown to Madison Hospital in Florida to be treated for serious injuries.  She was later transferred to a hospital in Miami.  Doctors fear that she may be paralyzed from the accident.

The ride’s operator has been charged with first-degree reckless injury and will go to court at a later date.  First-degree reckless injury is a felony charge and is punishable by up to 25 years in prison and $100,000 in fines.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Teagan and her family during her recovery.

In the lawsuit, the ex-employee maintains that in June, 2006, as a civilian member of the police department, she slipped while cleaning equipment with a hose. She fell backward and suffered permanent injures.

The settlement, which includes attorney’s fees and compensation for the ex-employee’s surgeries and prescription drugs, is described by Susan Grant, director of human resources and finance, as “in the best interests of the city.”

The city will pay about $300,000 while its insurer will pick up the rest. If the case went to trial, analysts have warned the city that an additional $55,000 would likely be tacked on.

According to officials with the Florida Highway Patrol, 18 year-old Craig J. Whitfield was traveling in the westbound lanes of I-595, just east of State Road 7, shortly before 5:30 p.m when the accident occurred. Police say Whitfield was driving a 1996 Chevy pickup truck when his vehicle was struck from behind by a 2005 Honda Civic. The force of the impact caused the Chevy to spin across the westbound lanes of the highway, overturn, and land on top of a retaining wall and a blue 1995 Ford Mustang driven by 29 year-old Danielle Shippee, of Davie.

Traffic was backed up along the interstate as response crews worked to clear the accident and motorists slowed to gawk at the upside down pickup truck teetering on the retaining wall, just feet from a plunge into a thicket of trees and mangroves in the ravine below.

Thankfully nobody involved in the crash was seriously injured. All too often, accidents like these can result in serious personal injury.

Hartline still has not spoken to police about the matter. Authorities say they went to Hartline’s residence after the crash and were told he was not there. He has since made several media appearances but continues to evade answering questions for the Florida Highway Patrol.

Police say the investigation won’t go much further if Hartline refuses to speak to them.

According to The Palm Beach Post, “A bill signed by Gov. Charlie Crist that took effect Thursday eliminated inspections at places that serve people who are most at-risk for foodborne illness. Foodborne illnesses linked to these facilities have sickened hundreds of Floridians in at least 15 separate outbreaks since 1995.”

The state’s quarterly inspections were ended at nursing homes, hospitals, and day cares, but will continue at prisons. There is serious concern that the state is neglecting those who are most susceptible and more-seriously harmed by food illness.

No one on the train was injured. The train had to stop about 1,900 feet away from the accident spot to allow officials to make an investigation. The train also had to undergo some repair before moving on. People waiting for the train had to sit for 6 hours while their ride was repeatedly delayed without explanation.

Our deepest condolences go out to all the family and friends of those involved in this tragic accident.
