Woman Delivers Baby After a Rollover Accident

Posted on Friday, August 22nd, 2008 at 5:08 am    

Late this past Thursday, doctors delivered the baby of a woman who was seriously injured in an automobile rollover accident.

Jamie Baer’s baby was delivered by doctors around midnight when she was brought into Hennepin County Medical Center after she had been pinned in a vehicle.  According to the State Patrol, 22-year-old Baer was riding in a 1999 Ford Mustang that was traveling at a high speed.   When the driver went to switch lanes, he lost control of the vehicle and hit an embankment, causing the car to roll over several times.

The driver of the car, 21-year-old Frank Tregoning, was ejected from the car and a second passenger, 22-year-old Kelsey Palmer, suffered minor injuries.  Both Baer and her baby are currently in critical condition.

Tregoning, Baer, and Palmer all had alcohol in their systems according to State Patrol.

BMW Recalls 200,000 Automobiles

Posted on Friday, August 15th, 2008 at 4:08 am    

The German automobile manufacturer, BMW, will be recalling two hundred thousand cars in September due to problems with the passenger side airbags.  Tests have shown that in certain models of BMW cars and sport-utility vehicles, side airbags may not deploy should the car be involved in a significant crash.

The models affected by the recall include the 2004 and 2005 5-Series, 2006 3-Series and the 2004-2006 X3 cars.  The recall notice states that the airbag problem is the result of a faulty sensor that may become deactivated over time, caused by individuals entering and exiting the cars.

This news comes as quite a surprise to BMW owners and manufacturers, as the company has always received high rankings for safety, quality and reliability. 

For all recalled vehicles, BMW will agree to extend the airbag warranty for an additional ten years with no mileage limits.

Pitt Bull Attacks Elderly Man and Dog

Posted on Monday, August 11th, 2008 at 6:08 am    

79-year-old Antonio Nitti was attacked in Notre Dame de Grâce by a Pitt Bull, resulting in serious injuries on Thursday, August 7th.  Nitti was taking his son’s Lhasa Apso for a walk down the street when the Pitt Bull attacked, biting the man’s left had repeatedly and tearing off large portions of skin.  Nitti’s hand had to be heavily bandaged as a result of the attack.

The Pitt Bull also attacked the Lhasa Apso, named Gizmo, that Mr. Nitti was walking.  Even after he picked up Gizmo to prevent further attack, the Pitt Bull continued biting the small dog.  The attack only stopped when Mr. Nitti threw Gizmo into a garbage can to protect him from the attacking dog.

This event has re-sparked debate over possibly banning certain breeds of dog known for aggressive behavior.  The Pitt Bull in question has a history of aggressive behavior and violence according to the dog’s neighbors.  The owners insisted that the dog had never attacked a human before the incident with Mr. Nitti.

While both Mr. Nitti and Gizmo survived the attack, doctors have stated that Mr. Nitti will most likely need a skin graft as a result of his injuries.
