actual area of low pressure. it reduces the risk of nasty weather, any severe weather. i am looking for a few stronger storms. a shield of rain. moving through quick like the last couple did. and then cooler, mid-to-upper 50s. a distinct chang of temperatures in the 30s on sunday morning. >> gina: happy thursday, everybody. sky fox is over a crash at colonial and commerce. doesn't look to be too significant. not causing any delays. no roadblocks. earlier, it was causing quite a bit of backup. i want to bring you back out to the crash at i-4 westbound, right near saxon. causing significant delays in the area. the backup is pretty bad there. you can get off the orange if

it is a little bit scary. we're looking at a total of six volunteer, all of them men between 28 and 49. all of them healthy going into the study. january 7 started to take this experimental medication, as you mentioned, this pain killer. very quickly, within a day or two, started falling ill and being hospitalized. so a really kind of sort of gave the scientific community, i think, pause, just the fact that you have perfectly healthy volunteers going in and getting this sick this quickly. >> luanne: yeah, beg, we know it was a phase one drug trial. the first time the treatment was being tested on humans. what kind of protocols are in place to protect patients? >> reporter: tremendous safety steps they put into place. it's the first time they're doing this to humans and they very closely watch.

is the drug safe and well tolerated. what dose seems to be the best dose to give the patients in the study. so at every step in the process, generally, in of the phase-one studies, the volunteers are carefully watched for the negative side effects. it is it is stopped if it is determined that it places anyone in danger. they sign consent forms which is a lengthy packet that you get, that you have to read through, and it explains all of the risks involved and all of the unknowns involved. so you know what you are getting into before you start taking this drug. and in this case, luanne, i feel like they must have signed an in-forled consent. i am not sure what the french law is there, but just talking about healthyre or do we see

trials pretty frequently? >> reporter: i would say it's extremely rare. there are thousands of phase-one trials that go on without a hitch. and in 2006, there was a case in england, six people ended up in intensive care testing a new drug which turned out to be very problematic. it was also a phase-one trial, and they were sickened very quickly. it's not unprecedented but very rare. there are so many safety sort of kroafls in the process that generally this doesn't happen very much >> luanne: do you think, beth, this case could affect the research here in the u.s.? >> reporter: i don't know. i think it definitely has sort of made the community make a step back, the research community, and look at sort of everything we're doing. buff i really don't -- dew i -- but i

don't feel that it would have a big impact. it's totally controlled. and you are looking at healthy volunteer, one losing his life, and a couple perhaps having permanent brain damage because of the drug. it does give people resident reservations on whether it's a good idea to pay the healthy volunteers to take these if it causes real harm. >> luanne: thank you for being with us this morning. we appreciate it. >> reporter: thank you. >> luanne: coming up, never threaten a mother when she is with her kids. >> john: that's for sure. this mom goes into mama bear mode after she said that a man tried to carjack her.

he said, i'm out of here. >> john: "good day orlando," i'm john brown

a double shooting in sanford overnight leaves one person dead. and we're live on the scene as investigators try to figure out what happened. >> john: plus tax season is officially here. about for 2016. >> luanne: all new at 7:00, how you can get a 360-degree view of stadium. all of the stories are coming up, but first a check on the friday eve forecast. good morning, jayme. >> jayme: good morning. looking good behind you. high cirrus clouds traversing. gainesville at 39, paling at comparison of yesterday's morning low of 25 degrees. it was cold for sure. 44 in orlando, and near 50 near the southern edge of the space coast. melbourne at 48. the day goes like this. dry skies and a lot warmer. looking for the 70s into the afternoon. looking for severe weather

fox 35's jackie orozco is at the apartment complex with the latest. >> reporter: the investigators were here throughout the night collecting evidence and interviewing witnesses. we spoke with the next door neighbor who lives just right over here. we spoke with her earlier in the morning, and her boyfriend heard a lot of commotion next door. heard kids crying. surprisingly, she did not hear gunshots. when officers arrived around 10:30 last night, they discovered a man dead inside and a woman who was shot in her hand. they have not released their names yet. we're staying in touch with the sanford police. we're trying to discover the motive of the shooting and how many people were involved. once we get that, we'll let you know. >> john: it's 7:34 here on "good day orlando." also in the news right now, one of the three teens charged in the brutal crowbar attack against another teen are due back in court.

again, construction could begin again very soon. >> john: a fox 35 news followup to a story we brought you last year. a proposal brought about because of a ucf student who died in a car accident is in the senate committee. a student died after losing control of her car on 408. it flew off the alafaya ramp exit and into the retention pond. the new law would mandate guardrails along bodies of water. state senators introduced the bill late yesterday to the transportation committee. we'll let you know what happens as the bill moves through tallahassee. >> luanne: names star wars and navy. the buffalo bills just made nfl history. they hired the first full-time female coach. they promoted katherine smith to take over as the special teams
