Quote: "While investigating the crash, authorities found a body about 50 yards south of the crash scene, in a “depressed area” between the parkway and railroad lines, Kindel said in a news release. 'The two incidents do not appear related,' the lieutenant added. He said the body was found in a rocky "drainage-type depression," about four to five feet deep, so it was not visible from the highway."

Note: Person dead in a depression, and person has medical issue near the same depression - those two events might very well be related...

Quote: "Huntsville Police say they are responding to an increasing number of accidents caused by medical issues."

Note: Right, as the human race dies off, a lot of people will be having 'medical issues' along the way, not always while driving. Eventually everyone will be dead and nobody will have any 'medical issues' ever again. Problem solved!

2017-12-28 - Passenger plane hit by unusual smell, plane makes emergency landing in coastal George Town (Cayman Islands):
http://www.caymancompass.com/2017/12/29/plane-requests-landing-due-to-strange-smell/

Quote: "The customers and crew of a Cayman Airways plane experienced a whiff of uncertainty Wednesday, when an inbound flight from Chicago requested an 'expedited landing' due to an unusual smell. Flight KX505, which flew from Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport, landed at Owen Roberts International at 5:15 p.m. on Wednesday. Ground emergency services were activated in Cayman by the Air Traffic Control in preparation for the landing, but the flight came in for an uneventful landing. Cayman Airways released an official statement Friday that said the flight crew aboard Flight KX505 detected an unidentifiable odor as the plane was descending through 8,000 feet. That caused them to request an expedited, or priority, landing, and the ground crews were assembled as a precautionary measure."
