WINTER HAVEN HOSPITAL
Winter Haven Hospital s Bostick Structural Heart Team completed its first MitraClip procedure. The MitraClip repairs a condition called mitral regurgitation. When the mitral valve fails to close completely, it can cause blood to flow backward through the heart. Left untreated, mitral regurgitation can lead to serious complications, including heart failure. This approach helps patients avoid open-heart procedures, meaning they can recover and resume their normal lives sooner. Offering such services is a direct benefit of the expansion of Winter Haven Hospital s cardiac program, especially the addition of the hybrid catheterization lab.
Kayla Cobb, 26, was driving a white Kia sedan south on U.S. (South Scenic Highway), and the train was also southbound, the report said. Warning lights were operational and the crossing arms were down as the train approached the road, PCSO reported, based on evidence and witness statements.
Cobb drove around the crossing arms, and the train struck the car on the passenger side, behind the rear door, before the vehicle had crossed the tracks, the report said. The impact split the car in half, propelling the backseat area about 50 feet.
The child and his mother had been seated in that portion of the car and were ejected, PCSO reported. Though a child safety seat was found, the initial investigation indicates that none of the occupants were properly restrained in their seats, the report said.
In addition to showcasing their new Super Hornets, this year the Blue Angels are featuring Fat Albert, the team’s newly acquired C130J Hercules transport. The plane is noted for its short takeoff and landing abilities.
Originally scheduled to arrive at the airport at 9:30 a.m. Thursday, the team was delayed by about 2½ hours because of severe weather sweeping through Pensacola, where the team is based. However, Fat Albert crewmembers were on hand by 10 a.m. That plane arrives in advance of air shows caring U.S. Navy aircraft maintenance personnel to prepare show sites for the jets’ arrivals.
