Five people were killed after a semi-truck rear-ended their van on I-80 near the Colorado border. The impact caused a chain-reaction crash that involved three other vehicles. The young couple from Minneapolis and their three young children, ages 3, 1, and 2 months who were traveling to Littleton, Colorado for a month to train as missionaries before moving to Japan. Six people in the other vehicles were taken to area hospitals. The semi driver was also treated a local hospital. He was arrested for suspicion of vehicular homicide.

The maker has devised a proprietary algorithm that gauges a driver’s level of drowsiness. It accomplishes this by automatically calibrating to each person’s individual circadian rhythms, thus enabling it to detect when someone is becoming fatigued. An added bonus is that the sensor can also be linked to onboard digital tachographs and fleet management systems that alert dispatchers, allowing them to provide the trucker with instructions.

A tachograph is a device fitted to a truck, or other vehicle, that records its distance and speed. The ‘drive mode’ activates when a vehicle is moving and defaults to ‘other work mode’ when stopped. The sensor’s batteries have the capacity to last up to five days, allowing for its continued use during long drives.

Units went on the market in Japan in March. It is a novel approach to help solve a deadly problem. If the sensors come to the U.S., they may help reduce big rig accidents.

The lawsuit was filed by the family of Antonia Torres Cerda, 48, who died in November, and was allegedly infected by deadly bacteria following a liver transplant. The lawsuit accuses the maker of the medical scopes of wrongful death, negligence and fraud and demands an unspecified amount of punitive and exemplary damages.

Cerda was given a procedure for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) prior to the liver transplant, and she underwent a second procedure afterwards. The procedures were carried out with a duodenoscope made by Japan’s Olympus Medical System Corp. and sold and marketed by Olympus Medical System Corp. and Olympus Corp. of the Americas.

According to the Food and Drug Administration, each year approximately 500,000 people undergo procedures with duodenoscopes, which are flexible tubes inserted down the throat and reaching into the small intestines. However, the scopes in question are suspected of playing a role in an outbreak of deadly bacteria that has affected several patients at UCLA Medical Center. Two patient deaths and five other infections are believed to be linked to the scopes, and the hospital informed 179 people that they may have been exposed to the infection, which cannot be treated with antibiotics.
