A tragic DUI crash and multi-vehicle collision in East Oakland claimed the life of a 28-year-old woman and left another driver injured early Sunday morning, June 8, 2025. The incident, which occurred on San Leandro Street in Alameda County, appears to involve alcohol impairment and highlights the devastating consequences of drunk driving. Details of the Fatal Collision The Oakland Police Department responded to the crash at approximately 2:40 a.m. in the 6300 block of San Leandro Street. According to preliminary investigations, a 28-year-old woman was driving a Honda Civic eastbound in the westbound lanes when she collided head-on with a westbound Ford cargo van operated by a 66-year-old man. The collision didn’t end there. Following the initial impact, a westbound Nissan Altima was sideswiped by an Infiniti SUV, which then struck the Honda Civic while the woman remained trapped inside. The driver of the Infiniti SUV fled the scene immediately after the collision. Victims…

Smiths Medical, a division of ICU Medical, has issued a recall to update the instructions for its CADD-Solis and CADD-Solis VIP Ambulatory Infusion Pumps following the identification of three issues that could pose serious health risks.

PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. — A multi-vehicle collision on Florida’s Turnpike near Delray Beach left 14 people injured Wednesday afternoon, according to Palm Beach County Fire Rescue. The crash involved a semi-truck transporting vehicles, two SUVs, and a minivan. Two additional vehicles were in the vicinity but were not directly involved in the collision. One person was classified as a trauma alert and transported to a hospital for advanced medical care. Thirteen others were also taken to nearby hospitals for evaluation and treatment. Those affected by this crash deserve answers and accountability from those at fault What went wrong here? One mistake on the road can have enormous, devastating consequences. This is even more true when a large truck and a passenger vehicle are involved. While these accidents are entirely preventable, they continue to happen. Gathering all the necessary information is vital so the responsible parties can be held accountable. Many people…

HANNIBAL, Mo. — A 21-year-old man from California was struck and killed by a semi-truck Tuesday night near Hannibal, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP). The collision occurred in the parking lot of an Ayerco station off Route MM, just west of Hannibal. Authorities reported that the semi driver initially stopped, backed up, and then fled the scene without rendering aid. Emergency responders transported the victim to Hannibal Regional Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Following a public request for assistance, MSHP confirmed that the semi and its driver have since been located. Thoughts on Accidents with Large Trucks and Pedestrians Every year, semi-trucks kill hundreds of pedestrians and other nonoccupants, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. And the number keeps going up. These deaths are not just tragic—they’re preventable. We can’t allow these incidents to keep happening without any accountability.…

MARTIN COUNTY, Texas – A tire accident along Interstate 20 resulted in the death of 54-year-old Rose Dominguez of Big Spring, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety. Authorities say the vehicle was traveling westbound when the left rear tire failed, causing the driver to lose control. The vehicle left the roadway and rolled multiple times before coming to a stop. Dominguez, who was one of three occupants, was transported to a local hospital, where she was later pronounced dead. DPS confirmed that all individuals in the vehicle were wearing seatbelts. The cause of the tire failure has to be investigated Sadly, I’ve handled hundreds of similar cases where a sudden tire failure ends in tragedy. These blowouts aren’t always the result of bad luck, wear and tear, or road conditions. Sometimes, they’re caused by defects that should never have made it onto the road. That’s why it’s essential for trained professionals to investigate what…

PRESIDIO COUNTY, Texas – A 54-year-old woman from Wink was killed Monday afternoon in a single-vehicle rollover crash along Highway 67 in Presidio County. Officials reported that the vehicle left the roadway and overturned for unknown reasons. No further information is currently available. Did the vehicle protect the passengers from serious injury? When a rollover accident occurs, focusing on what caused the crash is natural. But we also need to ask an even more critical question: Did the vehicle provide adequate protection? Rollovers can happen for many reasons – road conditions, weather, or driver actions. But once a rollover starts, the vehicle should protect its occupants. This doesn’t always happen. Some vehicles have design flaws that make rollovers more dangerous than they should be. Weak roof structures can collapse, failing to maintain a survivable space inside. Seatbelts might not hold people securely, or airbags could fail to deploy. These…

RUTHERFORD COUNTY, Tenn. – A man is facing multiple charges following a fatal crash Wednesday afternoon at a busy intersection in Rutherford County. According to the Tennessee Highway Patrol, a 2025 Volvo TT was traveling east on Murfreesboro Road when it failed to stop at a red light at the Fergus Road intersection. The vehicle struck a 2012 Ford Fiesta proceeding north through the intersection. The driver of the Ford, 66-year-old Michael Silver, sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead. A 41-year-old passenger in the vehicle was also injured. Authorities confirmed both occupants were wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash. The driver of the Volvo has been charged with vehicular homicide, vehicular assault, and driving under the influence. The Impaired Driver and the Trucking Company Which Hired Him Need to be Held Accountable For their Negligent Actions An impaired driver should never be on the road. Federal law sets clear guidelines for truck drivers when…

 Pix credit here As the wheel turns, combating factions tend to use and abandon tools and principles they once condemned when asserted by opponents. There was a time when progressive forces viewed the narratives of state's rights as anathema, and the deployment of federalized military essential to the enforcement of federal constitutional rights against the forces that sought to resist the lawful exercise of authority as enforced by the Administration and supported by the courts. That certainly wad the case during the early days of desegregation and into the time on integration policies and its violence--where rioters threatened civil order and were met by a n elegant and sophisticated administrative-judicial set of principles and approaches that narrowed the ambit of state sovereign authority and found in the federalization of state forces a quite useful means to advance their normative agendas. But with the return of a political faction with quite distinct…

As most will recall, the Supreme Court has spent the last several years reinventing statutory interpretation in agency cases. That project has now been pithily summarized in the recent opinion in Seven County Infrastructure Coalition v. Eagle County: “As a general matter, when an agency interprets a statute, judicial review of the agency’s interpretation is de novo.” The Court cites to its own 2024 decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, but even that opinion did not so clearly specify the standard of review as the Seven County Infrastructure Coalition opinion does. The Court’s statement in Seven County Infrastructure Coalition therefore seems like a remarkably clear distillation of the prevailing anti-deference mood—except that the rest of the opinion goes on to explain why deference is the watchword when it comes to cases brought under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Like so many of the Court’s recent decisions,…
