With grand theft. A deadly crash is a story of survival thanks to the decisions made by a team that had to perform surgery at the accident scene. The driver who was trapped in the truck is in Critical Condition as aaron mesmer reports, he lost part of a limb but cohave lost his life. But he could have lost his life. Reporter in the mangle of a truck Dustin Fowler was trapped and time was running out. He was in that position he could have died at the scene had he not been freed from the vehicle. Fowler may have been involved in a race and slammed his f150 into a pole. The ems worked diligently to free him from the vehicle but it was impossible. Workers needed a trauma surgeon and doctor amy kohler at bay front got the call. He bear i had had a pulse. Quickly to free fowler. They removed part of his fleg a matter of five minutes. It is to get the limb off and get them here as quickly as possible. This what the hospital trains for as a team all the time. The the medical director say surgeons may train for this but it rarely happens. This splay been a first. This is probably in my 30 years here the first time we have had to amputate a leg. A Family Member posted he opened his eyes he is responsive but still in very Critical Condition. The fact he survived came down to a critical choice. We do everything we can to salvage all of the patient that we can but we sims choose life over limb. What he had to decide that. A decision that the doctors hope saved a young mans life.

Pete Police Department before pursuing that position as bradentons new chief. Florida law that helps disabled drivers could go national. Davidally david jolly offered selfservice to place that decal on the pump with the number that way if disabled drivers need help they can call someone for assistance. You see on many pumps there may be a red button. Perhaps it is out of reach. Some dont have one at all. It was an ordinance in hillsborough but became law in the state of florida. Only donald trump would attack the last republican president in a republican debate. Poll numbers show it may have paid off for him. And Craig Patrick is here to tell us why. You had the pundits after the debate saying that donald trump cannot do this without hurting himself. You dont go after a republican president where the former president is popular but we now have a series of polls that are out and new ones showing it is not hurting him but it may be helping him just a bit. He is gaining ground in south this one from ppp showing trump at 36 followed by cruz and marco rubio. And you have a survey showing him up to 38 . The numbers are consistent and kasich at 10 . Thats where the numbers are not in alignment. Bush. He is in fifth place with ben carson but this is all about donald trump. He seems to be doing well in South Carolina inland areas where you have a lot of Tea Party Conservatives who are tired of business as usual in the parties. They want to shake things up. Thats driving his appeal. There has been an assumption among the Establishment Republicans that the bush name is gold nonSouth Carolina, were not seeing that in the polls. Well have a question answered on saturday night. Well see if donald trump in fact wins by those numbers in South Carolina if the polls are right you have to ask the question with the race heading south, where does he lose . Their next race which is in nevada. Who has the advantage there. No idea. Thats the question, we dont know. We dont have reliable polling coming out of nevada. Hillary clinton had a big lead in that state not long ago but the polling that we had out of nevada shows that is tied. Tells us that bostons has momentum but this is not a primary state it is a caucus state. A measure among other things of organization. And we just dont know who has the upper hand. I dont think either campaign knows. Thats why she is spending time in the state of nevada. And keep in mind this is a far more diverse state than in new hampshire. This will answer the questions for us after the results cold in on saturday night, were all waiting for it to play out. Thank you. Winning Powerball Ticket and the state was 1. 5 billion. By this time tomorrow well know who the winner is. It was sold in melbourne at a publix. The lottery will have a News Conference tomorrow and introduce the winner and present that check.
