Crash Leaves Four Injured Outside of Flagstaff

by Administrator 19. July 2010 00:53

ABC 15 reports that a black Camaro made a sudden U-turn while speeding. According to ABC 15, "Authorities say the driver lost control of the vehicle just east of Foster Road, went left of center and was struck broadside by a half ton pickup occupied by a family from Polacca, Arizona."

The black Camaro was fleeing from police. A deputy reports that the driver was not driving safely, leading him to believe that the driver may have been under the influence. The deputy, who drove a marked police vehicle, turned on both his siren and lights. Neither one prompted the Camaro to stop.

ABC 13 reports that, "According to the Sheriff's Office, the injuries to an elderly female in the pickup truck and the driver of the Camaro appeared to be serious, but it was not immediately known if the injuries were life-threatening." The accident is still being investigated by authorities.

White House distributes funds to reduce medical malpractice

by Administrator 23. June 2010 08:57

Earlier this month, the Obama Administration made good on a promise made to Republicans last fall to place funds in reducing medical malpractice lawsuits and costs.  25 million dollars worth of grants will be distributed to universities, medical centers, and state health departments.  Officials hope that these grants will improve doctor/patient communication and reduce injury, and as a result minimize medical malpractice lawsuits and lower liability insurance premiums.

In an address to Congress last September, President Obama stated, "I don't believe that malpractice reform is a silver bullet, but I've talked to enough doctors to know that defensive medicine may be contributing to unnecessary costs".

Plane crashes into Round Valley High School

by Administrator 15. June 2010 09:12

A single-engine Piper airplane crashed into Round Valley High School in Eagar, Arizona this past Friday.

The plane was registered to a Jeffrey Ulrich of Wesley Chapel, Florida and the remains of four people found on the scene have been confirmed to be Ulrich and his family.

Witnesses say the plane seemed to be having difficulties as it circled around the school building for a few minutes before crashing into the school.  Officials say that Ulrich and his family left Springerville's airport on Friday to go to the Grand Canyon, and soon after the plane hit a light post possibly causing the accident.  Fortunately, the school building was vacant and there were no ground injuries.  

Federal Investigators continue to gather the pieces of the aircraft in a facility in Phoenix in order to investigate exactly what caused this tragic plane accident.

Our greatest sympathies go out to the family and friends of the Ulrich family.
