BROOKLAWN NJ–Last night around 10:30 pm a car overturned after hitting several cars on Paris Avenue. We do not know at this time if anyone was hurt or how the accident happened. 

CNBNEWS asked Paris Avenue resident Scott Halliwell what happened, \”A drunk neighbor hit a parked car, flipped her car and then landed on another parked car. She crawled out the back window and sat on the curb. No injuries as far as I know. The driver was given a breathalyzer test by police and arrested. A bottle of alcohol rolled out of her vehicle when the car was flipped back on its wheels. It\’s just never a dull moment on Paris Avenue!\”

The Brooklawn Police released the following information about the accident:  

On 03/17/2015 at approximately 10:44 PM, Brooklawn Police Officers were dispatched to the 200 block of Paris Avenue for a report of a motor vehicle crash involving an overturned vehicle. The first arriving officer found the striking vehicle to be on its side with the lone operator inside. The operator was able to safely exit the vehicle without injury. The investigating officer suspected the operator to be under the influence of alcohol, at which time field sobriety tests were conducted. The operator subsequently performed poorly on the tests, placed under arrest for driving while intoxicated, and transported to police headquarters for further processing. The striking vehicle struck two parked vehicles, one of which was towed due to the extent of damage. 

 

At police headquarters, she provided a breath sample, which yielded a blood alcohol concentration of .13%. The accused was processed, issued two traffic summonses, and transported to John F. Kennedy Memorial Hospital in Cherry Hill, NJ by Brooklawn Emergency Medical Services for further medical treatment. 

Charges:
Driving while intoxicated
Careless driving

Arrested:
Linda Mitchell(49) of the 200 block of Pershing Road in Brooklawn, NJ

All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Newswise — Toronto, ON (March 17, 2015) – A comprehensive study examining clinical trials of more than 95,000 patients has found that glucose or sugar-lowering medications prescribed to patients with diabetes may pose an increased risk for the development of heart failure in these patients.

\”Patients randomized to new or more intensive blood sugar-lowering drugs or strategies to manage diabetes showed an overall 14 per cent increased risk for heart failure,\” says Dr. Jacob Udell, the study’s principal investigator, and cardiologist at the Peter Munk Cardiac Centre, University Health Network (UHN) and Women’s College Hospital (WCH). \”This increased risk was directly associated with the type of diabetes therapy that was chosen, with some drugs more likely to cause heart failure than others, compared with placebo or standard care,\” he says.

The results of the study were presented today at the American College of Cardiology’s 64th Annual Scientific Session and published in the current issue of The Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology.

\”While some drugs showed an increased risk, other strategies tested, such as intensive weight loss to control blood sugar, showed a trend towards a lower risk for heart failure,\” says Dr. Michael Farkouh, senior author of the study and Chair, Peter Munk Centre of Excellence in Multinational Clinical Trials, where the study was conducted.

March 15-21 is National Sunshine Week, a yearly event that highlights the importance of open government and our \”right to know\” as citizens engaged in our own governance. 
 
Established in 2001, the New Jersey Foundation for Open Government (NJFOG) is the only organization in New Jersey dedicated solely to improving public access to government records and meetings. NJFOG works to educate residents about the state’s Open Public Meetings Act (OPMA) and Open Public Records Act (OPRA) and also works to strengthen these laws and increase compliance.

NEWARK – The New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs has filed a civil lawsuit against Waterworld Fiber Glass Pools, Inc., a Hammonton-based installer of in-ground swimming pools, alleging that the company defrauded multiple consumers by, among other things, failing to perform contracted-for work and/or failing to repair its own substandard work, and refusing to refund consumers’ down payments. 

\”When Waterworld allegedly failed to perform the work consumers had paid for, many of those consumers lost more than their down payments. They also faced significant additional costs related to excavating huge holes and otherwise preparing for the installation of in-ground pools that never reached their homes,\” Acting Attorney General Hoffman said.
