Driver in Jalan Ampang head-on crash had chest pain, say cops
The victim had stopped at the traffic light junction when a blue Toyota Caldina headed in the opposite direction veered to her lane and crashed head-on into her vehicle. (Facebook pics) PETALING JAYA : The driver of a Toyota Caldina which entered the opposite lane before crashing head-on with a vehicle on Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur, claimed he lost control of his car after experiencing some chest pain, say police. Kuala Lumpur traffic investigation and enforcement department chief Zamzuri Isa said the incident occurred around 11am on Saturday at a traffic light junction on Jalan Ampang in front of Gleneagles Hospital. The victim, 49, had stopped at the junction in her Jaecoo J7 when the blue Toyota, which was headed in the opposite direction, veered to her lane before crashing head-on into her vehicle. The impact caused the Jaecoo to back into a Lexus RX200T that was behind it at the junction. 'The accident was caused by the driver of the Toyota, a 57-year-old man, losing control of the vehicle. He claimed it was because he was having some chest pain. 'When met by investigating officers, he seemed to be in a stable condition,' Zamzuri said in a statement but gave no further details on the medical issue or treatment, if any, received by the man. He said the driver of the Jaecoo suffered minor injuries to her hand and legs, while the driver of the Lexus was not injured. The police were responding to a widely-shared Facebook post by a person who claimed to be the driver of the Jaecoo, with dashcam videos of the incident. The case is being investigated under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for reckless driving.

100+ riders join the cause at ‘Wheels of Hope – A Ride for Breast Health'
Bengaluru: Gleneagles Hospitals Bengaluru Cluster successfully hosted 'Wheels of Hope: A Ride for Breast Health,' a spirited motorcycle rally dedicated to raising awareness about breast cancer and the life-saving power of early detection. Held on Sunday, from the Richmond Road facility in association with Biker Throttle, the event saw an enthusiastic turnout of over 100 bikers, healthcare professionals, survivors, and community members united for a common cause. This breast cancer awareness ride is a new initiative from Gleneagles Hospital Richmond Road, aligning with the Bengaluru Cluster's longstanding tradition of community engagement. Each October, the cluster organises a 5K Breast Cancer Awareness Run, a hallmark event promoting early detection. With the addition of the Richmond Road unit's involvement, the hospital aims to extend its outreach and strengthen its community connect throughout the year. Dr Rajeev Vijayakumar, Senior Consultant – Medical Oncologist, Hemato-Oncologist and BMT Physician, emphasised the importance of proactive screening and timely treatment. Breast cancer remains one of the most treatable forms of cancer when detected early. Through community events like this, we aim to demystify cancer care and empower women to take charge of their breast health. Education, regular screening, and early intervention can make all the difference. Speaking on the occasion, Dr M C Uthappa, Senior Consultant – Interventional Radiology, Gleneagles Hospitals, highlighted the clinical significance of early diagnosis: Awareness is the first intervention. With continuous advancements in imaging and interventional radiology, early detection of breast cancer is now more precise and accessible than ever before. Events like this rally help us bridge the gap between technology and public awareness. The 'Wheels of Hope' initiative was spearheaded by the dedicated leadership team at Gleneagles Hospital Richmond Road, Bengaluru. Lakshmi Kamal, Unit Head, Venkatesh Vikram, Medical Superintendent, and Shoiab-UR-Rehman, Head of Sales and Marketing, played a pivotal role in conceptualising and organising the event. Their collective efforts ensured seamless coordination, wide community outreach, and meaningful engagement, further strengthening the hospital's commitment to preventive healthcare and public awareness. Dr Jatinder Arora, Cluster COO, Gleneagles Hospitals Bengaluru, added: The overwhelming participation in this rally is a testament to the community's growing awareness and our collective responsibility in the fight against breast cancer. As a cluster, both Gleneagles BGS Hospital in Kengeri and Gleneagles Hospital Richmond Road have consistently championed preventive healthcare through education, early screening, and outreach. While our annual 5K Breast Cancer Run every October has inspired thousands, the addition of this high-impact rally at our Richmond Road unit allows us to deepen our connect with the urban community, especially younger, mobile populations. At Gleneagles Hospitals, we don't just treat illness—we work tirelessly to keep communities healthy and informed. 'Wheels of Hope' is not just a ride—it's a symbol of momentum, awareness, and commitment to women's health.
