Natural Gas Tanker Truck Crashes, Driver Injured, I-88 Shut Down – The Mountain Eagle

DUANESBURG - Both sides of I-88 between exits 24 and 25 were closed for at least two days after a serious tractor trailer crash in Duanesburg early Tuesday morning, the New York State Police announced. Drivers were rerouted the rest of the day Tuesday and into Wednesday but the road will "be reopening shortly," Trooper Stephanie O'Neil said on Tuesday.

Trooper O'Neil says the eastbound and westbound lanes were closed between exit 24 and 25 starting at 6a.m. Wednesday morning for continued clean up.

New York State Police responded to reports of a box truck off the road on I-88 at 2:52 a.m. Tuesday.

Police said the box truck "exited the road and traveled down a steep ravine." The box truck was carrying multiple cylinders containing compressed natural gas, which led to a hazmat response and a safety perimeter establishment, according to police, which accounts for both sides of the roadway being shut down.

Grapefruit juice and statins – Harvard Health

Certain classes of drugs — most notably statins — are metabolized (broken down) in your intestines by an enzyme called CYP3A, which normally reduces the amount of drug that enters your bloodstream. Grapefruit juice contains compounds called furanocoumarins that stop CYP3A from doing its job. As a result, more of the drug is absorbed, making it more powerful than it's meant to be — even toxic in some cases.
