1 dead in Highway 101 crash with pickup truck, semi-truck pulling trailer: CHP Monterey
(KRON) — The California Highway Patrol Monterey Area office is investigating a fatal crash on Friday afternoon involving a pickup truck and a Freightliner semi-truck pulling a trailer.
Man charged with DUI, manslaughter for running over woman in SF intersection
CHP said it was alerted of the incident at 3:07 p.m. after receiving several reports of a traffic crash on northbound Highway 101 at Hartnell Road.
'Preliminary investigation indicates that the red Toyota pickup, driven by a 47-year-old Salinas resident, was traveling northbound on US-101, approaching Hartnell Road,' said CHP in a news release. 'At the same time, the Freightliner semi-truck, driven by a 62-year-old resident of Yuba City, was traveling southbound on US-101 and preparing to make a left turn onto Hartnell Road.'
It was at this moment that CHP said the semi-truck crossed the northbound lanes of Highway 101, and the right side of the semi-truck's trailer collided with the front of the pickup.
CHP said the driver of the Toyota pickup suffered fatal injuries, and was pronounced dead at the scene, while the driver of the semi-truck was not injured. The identity of the deceased will be released by the Monterey County Coroner's Office after next of kin has been notified.
This crash is an active investigation. Anyone with information regarding this case is encouraged to contact the CHP Monterey Area Office at (831) 770-8000 or email MontereyCHPTips@chp.ca.gov.

Four Democrat-led states ask FDA to remove abortion pill restrictions
Four blue states are asking the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to remove restrictions on a key abortion medication and make it easier for clinicians to prescribe and dispense it — an attempt to widen access as the agency plans to review the pill's safety. The Democratic attorneys general of California, New York, Massachusetts and New Jersey filed a petition Thursday asking the FDA to remove stringent regulations on access to mifepristone, saying they are 'medically unnecessary' for a drug that scientific studies have shown is safe. The drug is taken alongside misoprostol to end pregnancies through 10 weeks' gestation and treat early miscarriages.

Four States Ask F.D.A. to Lift Special Restrictions on Abortion Pill
In a strategy aimed at countering efforts to further restrict the abortion pill mifepristone, attorneys general of four states that support abortion rights on Thursday asked the Food and Drug Administration to do the opposite and lift the most stringent remaining restrictions on the pill. The petition filed by Massachusetts, New York, California and New Jersey might seem surprising given the opposition to abortion expressed by Trump administration officials. But the attorneys general consider it a move that would require the F.D.A. to acknowledge extensive scientific research that has consistently found mifepristone safe and effective, said an official with the Massachusetts attorney general's office who worked on the filing and asked not to be named in order to share background information. It would also prevent the F.D.A. from changing mifepristone regulations while the petition is pending. The petition notes that at a May senate hearing, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health and human services secretary, responded to questions by Senator Josh Hawley, Republican of Missouri, who opposes abortion, by saying he had ordered the F.D.A. to do a 'complete review' of mifepristone. 'We want to make sure that when F.D.A. is making these decisions that they have all the data in front of them, all of the really powerful data that show that mifepristone is safe' the Massachusetts official said. The F.D.A. is required to respond within 180 days by granting or denying the request, or saying it needs more time. In its responses, the agency must document its position, which could be useful in lawsuits, including one that the four states could file if their petition is denied. Mifepristone, which blocks a hormone necessary for pregnancy development, was approved for abortion in America in 2000. The F.D.A. imposed an additional regulatory framework called Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy, or REMS, on mifepristone. That framework has been used for only about 300 drugs, currently covering only about 60 medications. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
