Videos show aftermath of 9th Ward crash, son of Slidell official charged

Instagram videos posted last week captured the aftermath of a car accident where a 27-year-old man, passed out with a needle in his hand, is revived by emergency officials and then speeds off again and hits more cars.

The driver in the video, named by Fox 8 as Colin Mathison of Slidell, had his initial arraignment in New Orleans Municipal Court on Wednesday (Sept. 7). He did not appear to be in court, but his lawyer Bryan Haggerty -- who also serves as Slidell's city attorney -- entered a plea of not guilty.

Mathison is the son of Slidell Chief Administrative Officer Tim Mathison, who Fox 8 reported came to the scene. The car was listed as owned by him.

Mathison faces multiple charges in New Orleans municipal and traffic court, records showed, including possession of drug paraphernalia, hit-and-run and reckless driving. WWL reported he was booked and released shortly after on a court order, meaning no bail was required.
There's not really a cure, but there are treatments that can prevent it from progressing. Progression can lead to heart failure as a result of the destruction of the blood vessels in the lungs(which are connected to it and provide the oxygen filled blood). In young patients, they will usually try and get them on the lung transplant list because the heart failure will eventually kill them. In older patients, it really depends on how far the disease has progressed. If the heart failure has already begun, the patients may only live 5 more years or less. If not, the patients could potentially live long enough so that they end up dying of something else before the fibrosis really becomes a major problem.
