Early that morning, a 49-year-old man in a 2013 Nissan van was driving east and a 28-year-old woman was traveling west on the road when the vehicles crashed into each other at the intersection to the on-ramp for northbound Interstate 75, the Gainesville Police Department confirmed to the Sun.
The female driver had "incapacitating injuries,' while the other driver was only minorly injured, the Sun reported. An investigation is ongoing, and the mother's current status is unclear.
The Gainesvile Police Department and the Office of the Medical Examiner, Florida District 8, did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's requests for comment.
Witnesses of the collision told WCJB they tried to help the mother after the incident.
'When she opened the door, she said, 'My baby, my baby,' ' witness Roy Gyles told the outlet. 'I looked down and the baby was lying between her legs. I picked the baby up, but it was already gone.'

He and his partner, Stephanie McCallister, told WCJB that it appeared the woman was making a left turn when the driver of the van ran a red light, causing the fatal crash. Later, the son of the van's driver told the outlet that the light was yellow as his dad drove into the intersection.
'I saw blood, I saw babies on the floor,' McCallister told WCJB. 'I ran to the other side as soon as [the mother] said she had a second baby, and I pulled him out and put him in my arms. That baby took its last breath in my arms.'

DOJ drops charges against Utah doctor accused of falsifying Covid-19 vaccine records
The Department of Justice has abruptly dropped all charges against a Utah doctor and three of his associates who were accused of destroying Covid-19 vaccines and falsifying records, Attorney General Pam Bondi said Saturday in a post on X. Dr. Michael Kirk Moore Jr., a certified plastic surgeon in Utah, was initially charged in 2023 after federal prosecutors alleged he and some members of his staff organized a scheme destroying more than $28,000 worth of government provided Covid-19 vaccines and distributed almost two thousand fraudulent vaccination cards in exchange for cash. Prosecutors further alleged Moore and his associates administered saline shots to minors so children would think they were receiving the vaccine, according to a 2023 US Attorney's Office news release and court documents. The case has been a focus for the MAGA base as Bondi thanked Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for bringing the case to her attention and Sen. Mike Lee 'who has been a champion for advocating to end the weaponization of government.' Saturday's announcement comes as Bondi faces increased anger among the GOP base over her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, with calls for her to resign. 'Dr. Moore gave his patients a choice when the federal government refused to do so. He did not deserve the years in prison he was facing. It ends today,' Bondi posted to X. The case had been highly scrutinized by high profile Republican leader including US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. who has particularly been a loud advocate against vaccines, dismissing all members of The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's vaccine advisory committee just last month.

Woman Tells Sister Her Fiancé Was Hitting on Her During Engagement Party
An older sibling is asking the internet if she made the right decision in telling her sister about her fiancé's "weird" behavior She told her sister that her fiancé hit on her the night of their engagement party Many agreed she did the right thing, insisting her sister has a right to know who she's going to marryA woman is asking the internet if she made the right decision in telling her sister about her fiancé's odd behavior the night of their engagement party. In a Reddit post, the woman explains that her younger sister recently got engaged to a man who is 14 years her senior. "The age gap already made me uncomfortable but she kept saying he was mature and different," the woman explains. However, at the couple's engagement party, the man began acting strangely towards the poster. It started subtly, like him repeatedly offering to fill up her wine glass. "At first I thought he was just being polite, but then he started getting weird," she writes. "He stood too close, touched my back a few times, and eventually said something like 'if things were different, I'd be with someone like you.' " Stunned by his comment, the woman "laughed awkwardly," but he didn't stop. "He asked if I really supported their marriage and said I seemed more 'on his level.' I felt gross and left early," she explains. She then told her sister what happened that night, but she "completely flipped out" and insisted the poster "was jealous and trying to ruin her life." While the woman's mom believes her, her dad questioned whether she may have "misinterpreted" his behavior. "Now the wedding is on hold, and most of the family is upset with me for causing drama," the woman shares, noting that she is "starting to regret saying anything but I also feel like I had to."

While the family is divided, people in the comments believe she did the right thing by telling her sister, even if it did hurt her feelings. "You're telling the truth out of love and care for her, not to ruin her life. He's the one who crossed the line, and he did it at his own engagement party with his future sister-in-law," one user wrote. "It's clear that age doesn't define maturity—he's a manipulator." "Your sister may be blinded by love right now, but sooner or later she'll realize the kind of person she's really with," they continued. "You did the right thing." The woman responded to this comment, writing, "Exactly how I felt. It wasn't about causing drama; it was about not letting her walk into something blind. She needed to know who she was really with." In response to another user, the poster noted that she gave her sister the information, but "what she does next is on her. I wasn't about to sit there and pretend everything was fine."

Bondi dismisses charges against doctor accused of faking vaccination records
Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Saturday that she is dismissing the criminal charges against a Utah plastic surgeon who was currently on trial for allegedly issuing fake Centers for Disease Control and Prevention COVID-19 vaccination records cards to people who sought fake vaccine cards. Dr. Michael Kirk Moore, whose criminal trial was currently underway in Utah, was indicted by the Justice Department in 2023. Moore, his medical corporation and three co-defendants were accused of allegedly destroying more than $28,000 worth of government-provided COVID-19 vaccines and distributing at least 1,937 falsely marked COVID-19 doses on vaccine cards in exchange for direct cash payments or donations to a charitable organization. Moore pleaded not guilty to the charges, while one of his co-defendants entered into a plea agreement for a misdemeanor charge and another co-defendant entered into a diversion agreement. One co-defendant is currently on trial with Moore. A Justice Department spokesperson did not respond to questions on whether or not the charges against them would be dropped as well. In court filings, attorneys for Moore argued that the CDC vaccine regulations in place were unconstitutional. The Biden Justice Department alleged that Moore was not administering COVID-19 vaccines in exchange for the payment, and was administering saline shots to minors, at the request of their parents, so children would think they were receiving a vaccine dose. Moore and his co-defendants were also charged with conspiracy to convert, sell, convey, and dispose of government property; and the conversion, sale, conveyance, and disposal of government property and aiding and abetting for their efforts to forge the vaccine cards. The fake cards were sold for $50 each, charging documents said, during the scheme they allegedly operated between May 2021 and September 2022. "Dr. Moore gave his patients a choice when the federal government refused to do so. He did not deserve the years in prison he was facing. It ends today," Bondi wrote on X, thanking Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has a history of casting doubts on the efficacy of COVID vaccines, for raising awareness of his case. "She has been a warrior for Dr. Moore and for ending the weaponization of government," Bondi wrote. In a post on X on Saturday, Greene called Moore a "hero who refused to inject his patients with a government mandated unsafe vaccine!" It was not immediately clear if the charges were being dismissed for Moore's co-defendants. The announcement comes as the department is facing uncertainty after a clash between Bondi and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino over a Justice Department review of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, which led to Bongino not showing up for work on Friday, as sources say he is considering leaving his post over the dispute.
