Second person dies days after crash involving Metro train in Long Beach
Police have identified the second person who died from a violent crash involving a Metro train in Long Beach in late May. The crash happened on May 23 a little before midnight near 12th Street and Long Beach Boulevard, according to the Long Beach Police Department. Officers were sent to the area after learning of a crash that involved two cars and a train. Through investigation, they found that the 21-year-old Compton woman behind the wheel of a speeding 2014 Infiniti Q50S without its headlights on, crashed into a 2019 Honda Accord being driven by a 29-year-old man that was making a turn onto Long Beach Boulevard from Anaheim Street. The Honda driver swerved out of the way to avoid being rear-ended, which caused them to strike a guardrail. The Infiniti swerved as well but lost control and crashed into the train. The woman, since identified as Katherine Rodriguez, died after she was taken to a nearby hospital. The passenger in her car, 22-year-old Lakewood man Nathan Hall, died six days after the crash, police said. Investigators are looking into speed and impaired driving as factors in the collision. No passengers or crew members aboard the train were injured and the other driver stayed at the scene to cooperate with the investigation, police said.

Groundbreaking pediatric leukemia treatment now available in Wichita
WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — KU School of Medicine-Wichita Department of Pediatrics and Wesley Children's Hospital say a groundbreaking treatment for pediatric leukemia is now available in Wichita. Blinatumomab, which recently completed clinical trials and has won approval from the FDA, is a drug designed to treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia, one of the most common types of blood and bone marrow cancer. It causes the body to produce too many lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell. The disease has a rapid onset. If left untreated, death can happen within a matter of months. Blinatumomab uses the patient's immune system to fight the disease. It teaches the body's T-cells, a type of white blood cell, to recognize and destroy leukemia cells. The tuberculosis outbreak in Kansas is alarming. It's not the biggest in US history though, CDC says Clinical trials showed the average risk of relapse, and survival rates rose to 97.5% with the new drug regimen vs. 90.2% for those without blinatumomab. For high-risk patients, the rate rose from 84.8% to 94.1%. 'This treatment is a transformative step forward for children in our community,' says Nathan Hall, D.O., MBA, M.S., associate professor and director of pediatric hematology and oncology at KU Wichita Pediatrics and Wesley Medical Center. 'For families facing the challenge of a leukemia diagnosis, this therapy offers new possibilities and a hope for one day curing all pediatric cancer.' The treatment is now available thanks to a partnership between the KU School of Medicine-Wichita Department of Pediatrics, Wesley Children's Hospital and Children's Oncology Group. 'This partnership aligns with our mission to provide comprehensive, family-centered care while pushing the boundaries of what is possible in pediatric medicine,' says Brian Pate, M.D., chair of the Department of Pediatrics at KU School of Medicine-Wichita. 'Families no longer need to seek care outside the state to access treatments. Instead, they can receive world-class care right here in Wichita, and we are also using these opportunities to train future pediatricians in the only pediatric training program in Kansas.' The Children's Oncology Group is a member of the National Cancer Institute National Clinical Trials Group, the world's largest organization devoted exclusively to childhood and adolescent cancer research.
