Tragic crash claims life of man who accused girlfriend of intent to harm
Flagler Beach, FL
A man has died after awakening from a coma and accusing his pregnant girlfriend of intentionally crashing their vehicle. The incident occurred during a car ride that turned deadly on February 9 along Interstate 95.
Daniel Waterman, 22, suffered critical injuries during the crash and died due to pneumonia on Tuesday. His girlfriend, Leigha Mumby, 24, faces several charges, including vehicular homicide.
According to a criminal complaint, Waterman told authorities after regaining consciousness that Mumby had stated, “I don’t care what happens, you’ll get what you deserve,” before veering off the road and colliding with a tree.
Waterman suffered severe injuries, including fractures to his cervical spine and several other bones. He communicated his allegations by pointing to letters on a board due to his incapacitation.
The crash occurred during a heated argument related to Mumby’s recent pregnancy discovery and a text Waterman received from a female friend. Witnesses claim that Waterman attempted to exit the vehicle prior to the crash as Mumby increased their speed dramatically.
Family members described the moments leading up to the incident, revealing tensions between the couple over personal issues. Waterman’s cousin noted that Mumby had sent a message from his phone just moments before the crash, indicating a strained relationship.
Mumby has since been released on bond and is scheduled to appear in court on November 19. Waterman’s family expressed their intention to secure custody of the child Mumby was expecting at the time of the incident.
Newark vet banned after pets die in filthy clinic
Essex County veterinarian faces consequences after neglecting animals
Newark, NJ – A veterinarian in Essex County has agreed to permanently surrender his license after allegations of gross negligence surfaced. Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin announced the resolution to the case on Wednesday.
Ehren Seth Yablon, who owned Newark Veterinary Hospital, reportedly failed to provide proper care for multiple animals resulting in their deaths. Allegations included treating pets in unsanitary conditions and the mishandling of parvovirus-positive puppies, two of which died while in his care.
The State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners received a verified complaint in April detailing instances of Yablon’s alleged misconduct. Evidence suggested he kept three parvovirus-positive puppies in a kennel without food or water, leading to the death of one puppy, while another died two days later.
In additional reports, Yablon was accused of inappropriate treatment of a bulldog that ultimately died while under his care. The owner sought a second opinion that revealed no surgery had been performed, contrary to Yablon’s claims.
Investigators inspecting Yablon’s facility found numerous health violations, including unsanitary conditions and expired medications. The final consent order prohibits Yablon from practicing veterinary medicine in New Jersey and prevents him from any professional veterinary services in the state.
He also relinquished his New Jersey CDS Registration, which allowed him to prescribe controlled substances. Deputy Attorney General Karen Webber oversaw the state’s prosecution in this case, while Division of Consumer Affairs investigators conducted the inquiry.
Pet owners suspecting unethical treatment can file complaints with the State Division of Consumer Affairs.
Tragic boating accident leaves young girl with severe injuries at summer camp
Tragic boating accident leaves young girl with severe injuries
Miami, FL
An 11-year-old girl attending a Florida summer camp suffered severe injuries after a counselor allegedly ran over her with a boat propeller. Catherine Viteri was swimming at the Coconut Grove Sailing Club when the incident occurred.
Catherine’s family has filed a lawsuit against the counselor, Myles Carter Holt, and the sailing club seeking $10 million in damages.
According to the complaint, Holt, 21, was operating a 2008 Ribcraft motorboat on July 10 when he lost track of the number of campers in the water and collided with Viteri.
Her attorney Justin Shapiro described the injuries as “permanently mutilated,” claiming Holt’s actions resulted in Catherine’s leg being lacerated to the bone.
Catherine was participating in a swimming activity when Holt reportedly began ferrying a group of children toward her location. The complaint alleges that Holt’s lack of attentiveness resulted in him being unaware of the campers around him.
Shapiro stated that Holt operated the vessel directly into the area where the children were swimming, leading to the accident. The description of the injuries indicated that all muscles and nerves were severed in her leg.
In addition to Holt, two other counselors, Aden Weinberg and Sara Ortiz Vey, are also named in the lawsuit for failing to supervise the children properly.
Coconut Grove Sailing Club has not responded to recent requests for comment. Shapiro emphasized that counselors are expected to ensure the safety of campers.
He stated that the risk of danger should not come from the counselors supposed to protect the campers.
Catherine’s injuries are expected to have long-lasting impacts on her functionality for years to come.
