The Los Angeles Fire Department reported that the car crash occurred shortly after noon at a 99 Ranch Market in the Westwood neighborhood. Three people were pronounced dead at the scene: a 55-year-old man, a 42-year-old woman, and a 30-year-old man. The victims were two employees and a customer, according to a statement from 99 Ranch Market, which added that the store would remain closed for the immediate future. "We are heartbroken by this loss," a company spokesperson wrote.
In Houston, Dr. John Stevenson Bynon Jr., the former director of abdominal organ transplantation and surgical director for liver transplantation at Memorial Hermann Health System, was indicted on five counts of false statements relating to health care matters. Federal prosecutors announced that Bynon allegedly falsified medical records for five patients, making them ineligible for liver transplants. Of the five patients detailed in the indictment, three died, and two others received transplants at different hospitals, according to CBS News. Patients, their families, and other members of their medical care team were unaware of the alleged falsification.
