Mexico readies as dengue fever cases increase

Snip: More alarming is that a deadly hemorrhagic form of the disease, which adds internal and external bleeding to the symptoms - is becoming more common. It accounts for one in four cases in Mexico, compared with one in 50 seven years ago, according to Mexico's Public Health Department.

Illegal immigrant in custody after weekend accident

Snip: A 2-year-old is not expected to live after Tulsa Police say a drunk driver ran a red light and slammed into the SUV he was riding in. The News On 6’s Heather Lewin reports investigators are calling the accident another example of what they're seeing all too often on Tulsa streets, drunk drivers, with no license or insurance that are in this country illegally. "We see that on a routine basis," said Tulsa Police Sergeant Rick Bondy.

Tulsa Police arrested 34-year-old Jose Juan Lopez at the scene Saturday. Officers say Lopez ran a red light at 36th Street North and Lewis Avenue and crashed his Ford Explorer into a Chevy Suburban that was driving through the intersection. The Tulsa County jail says Jose Lopez was able to bond out of jail over the weekend.

Monday, federal authorities announced that they were looking for Lopez. That evening, Lopez was picked up at an Owasso business and is now being held by immigration officials in Oklahoma City.

Thanks for the ping.
That fever is very serious — even deadly.
