Speeding car rams into police vehicle in Rajasthan's Alwar, four cops among 8 injured
A speeding car on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway crashed into a police van in Rajasthan on Tuesday, resulting in injuries to eight people, including four policemen. Emergency services also rushed to the scene, and the fire brigade managed to douse the flames from the vehicle.(PTI) The incident took place near Alwar's Rajgarh when the speeding car rammed into the police vehicle from behind. The vehicle caught fire and was reduced to ashes soon after the accident. Assistant Sub Inspector of Rajgarh police station Iliyas told PTI that seven policemen were travelling in the police van, while a man, two women and four children were travelling in the vehicle involved in the accident. One constable has been critically injured. "All injured were rushed to a nearby hospital. Seven persons, including four policemen, are admitted and others were given primary treatment at the Alwar hospital, while one constable is admitted in SMS hospital in Jaipur," the police said. Visuals showed the vehicle completely burned down while the police van was turned on the road. Emergency services also rushed to the scene, and the fire brigade managed to douse the flames from the vehicle. In a similar incident earlier, a massive pile-up took place last month involving 25 vehicles on the Mumbai Pune Expressway that led to the death of one woman and injured 18 others. The brakes of a trailer failed on a steep stretch of the road, and it rammed into the traffic ahead, hitting luxury cars like BMW and Mercedes.

The massive pile-up led the traffic to back up for nearly five kilometres, leaving several vehicles stranded on the Expressway. In another incident on Monday, a head constable posted on a Police Response Vehicle (PRV) died after a truck rammed into it while he was providing first aid to a road accident victim. The head constable was taking out a medical kit from the trunk of the PRV to treat an injured person when a speeding truck hit the vehicle from behind.

Drips from above disrupt Malaysia Masters again [WATCH]
KUALA LUMPUR: Several second-round matches at the Malaysia Masters were disrupted on Thursday due to droplets falling on court, caused by condensation from sprinkler and air-conditioning pipes under the roof at the Axiata Arena in Bukit Jalil. Although matches were not postponed or delayed for long periods, play had to be stopped intermittently for mopping as water dripped onto all four courts. Malaysia Stadium Corporation (PSM) chief executive officer Iliyas Jamil explained that the problem arose from the newly installed roofing, which replaced the previous one after a leakage during the Malaysia Open. "The droplets are due to condensation from the sprinkler and air-conditioning piping — it's not a leak," said Iliyas. "It's caused by the difference in temperatures inside the stadium and the hot weather outside. The current roofing system traps air, which leads to condensation." Iliyas said a temporary fix has been put in place. "We've started wiping the piping every one to five hours, and for now, it has worked. We'll continue doing this until the end of the tournament and will implement a permanent solution after that." Mixed doubles Loo Bing Kun-Toh Ee Wei saw their second-round clash against Taiwan's Ye Hong Wei and Nicole Gonzales Chan repeatedly interrupted for court mopping. Despite the setback, Ee Wei said the issue did not affect them significantly during their 19-21, 22-20, 21-18 defeat. "I wouldn't say it disrupted us because both sides had to deal with it," said Ee Wei. "We just accepted it, adapted, and focused on finding a way to win — not dwell too much on the court conditions." While the situation has been temporarily resolved and is not as severe as the roof leak during January's Malaysia Open, which saw matches delayed and even postponed to the next day, the suitability of the Axiata Arena for future tournaments is now in question. With the venue set to host both the Malaysia Open and Malaysia Masters again next year, the BA of Malaysia (BAM) must carefully reconsider its options, as such issues tarnish the image of two of the World Tour's flagship events.
