Nine people have been confirmed dead following the collapse of a bridge over a river in Gujarat’s western region on Wednesday morning.

According to Gujarat’s Health Minister, Rushikesh Patel, several vehicles were traveling across the Gambhira Bridge when a section of the structure gave way, causing them to plunge into the river below.

The incident occurred at approximately 7:30 a.m., amid days of persistent heavy rainfall across the state, which may have compromised the structural integrity of the bridge.

A local resident commenting on the tragedy said “The Gambhira bridge has become notorious not just as a traffic hazard but also as a suicide point. Repeated warnings about its condition were ignored.”

Gracie Hunt, daughter of Kansas City Chiefs owners Clark and Tavia Hunt, has expressed deep sorrow following the tragic loss of her 9-year-old relative, Janie Hunt, who died in the recent Texas flood disaster.

Janie was one of several children attending Camp Mystic — a Christian girls’ summer camp located near the banks of the Guadalupe River — when the floodwaters surged, claiming dozens of lives.
Grieving the heartbreaking loss, Gracie took to social media to honor Janie’s memory, writing: “Praying for Texas 🙏🏼

“Some days, it’s hard to understand how the world can hold both so much beauty and so much pain. How can the same God who created the stars and set the planets in motion allow such deep suffering? The truth is, we live in a broken world—one that groans for redemption (Romans 8). But Scripture promises that one day, Christ will make all things new—a new heaven and a new earth (2 Peter 3:13).

“My heart aches for our extended family and friends who lost daughters—for every life lost and every family shattered by the floods in Texas. I don’t have easy answers, but I do know this: following Jesus doesn’t spare us from pain—but it means we never face it alone. 🤍

“Even in the darkest valleys, we hold on to the hope that this is not the end of the story.

“Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day… So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”
— 2 Corinthians 4:16–18

“Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
— Psalm 23:4″

A 9-year-old girl, Ava Rose McCourt, has tragically drowned in a swimming pool just days after she began taking swimming lessons.

The heartbreaking incident occurred at the Clinton Mobile Home Resort in Tiffin, Ohio, on June 28. According to reports, Ava had been under the supervision of her father’s girlfriend, Christina Bryant, when she entered the pool using a float.

Christina told police that she momentarily looked away, and when she turned back, Ava was no longer visible. Moments later, the young girl was found unresponsive at the bottom of the deep end of the pool.

Bystanders quickly pulled her out and began CPR before emergency services arrived. Ava was transported to Mercy Tiffin Hospital, where she was sadly pronounced dead.

Eyewitnesses told police that they did not hear any splashing or signs of struggle, highlighting the silent nature of drowning.

Ava’s parents later shared that she had recently started swimming lessons, making the tragedy even more devastating.

A woman has taken to social media to express her frustration with her husband’s persistent lack of personal hygiene.

In a now-viral anonymous Reddit post, the woman revealed that she’s emotionally drained from dealing with her partner’s unhygienic habits, despite repeatedly voicing her concerns.

She wrote: “Gr£ss

“I can’t get intim*te with my husband, he is just gr-ss. He farmer blows (holds one nostril closed while blowing out other nostril without any kleenex, it ends up wherever), he doesn’t bathe so he smells like @ss, he constantly is trying to cough up a lugi (snot from his lungs) and f*rts with no consideration to me. I’ve told him about this but he thinks it’s no big deal it’s things he has to do (he’s asthmatic). I have asked him to get a kleenex or go to the bathroom, he just sees it as me nagging him!

He needs to shape up or ship out, I can’t take this any longer!”

A dramatic incident unfolded in Sydney on June 13th when two men attempted to set a salon abl@ze — only for one of them to accidentally catch fire in the process.

According to CCTV footage, the two men were seen forcing entry into the salon in the early hours of the morning. As they spread accelerant around the premises, the second man slipped on the flammable liquid, just before the first man ignited the blaze from the doorway, triggering a massive fireball.

The flames rapidly engulfed the salon, and the man who slipped appeared to be caught in the explosion, though it remains unclear whether he sustained injuries. Authorities are currently working to determine his condition.

At approximately 5:00 a.m., Fire and Rescue crews arrived at the scene. Residents living above the salon were evacuated as a precaution. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and the salon itself sustained only minor damage due to the swift response.

Speaking on the incident, Detective Acting Superintendent Luke Scott said: “It is clear that we need to identify who those people are, because not only are they a danger to the community, they are obviously a danger to themselves

“It’s quite clear when you watch this CCTV, we are not dealing with professionals, we are dealing with amateurs,” 

“I urge anybody in the community who identifies who those people are, knows who those people are or suspects that one of their friends or family may have caught fire on June 13 to come forward.”

As Texas continues to reel from the devastating floods, twin sisters Hanna and Rebecca Lawrence have been confirmed among the 75 people who lost their lives in the disaster.

Authorities reported that the tragic toll includes 48 adults and 9 children, with search and recovery efforts still ongoing in several affected areas.

In a heartbreaking statement to Fox News, the parents of Hanna and Rebecca paid tribute to their daughters: “Hanna and Rebecca brought so much joy to us, to their big sister Harper, and to so many others. We will find ways to keep that joy, and to continue to spread it for them. But we are devastated that the bond we shared with them, and that they shared with each other, is now frozen in time. Thank you for the love and support

Roman Starovoit, Russia’s Transport Minister, has been found dead just hours after President Vladimir Putin removed him from office.

The dismissal, which came on Monday, was announced without an official explanation, though Starovoit had only held the position for about a year.

Political sources suggest his sacking may be linked to an ongoing corruption investigation in the region he previously governed.

According to reports, authorities discovered his lifeless body inside his Tesla, with a pistol found nearby.

The Oyo State Police Command has rescued 19 Ghanaian nationals—14 women and 5 men—who were lured into Nigeria with false promises of job opportunities, only to discover they were being trafficked.

In a statement released on Sunday, police spokesperson Adewale Osifeso said the victims were rescued following an operation based on credible intelligence. The police had been alerted to suspicious activity in a building located in Kajorepo, Akinyele Local Government Area of Ibadan.

he said: “The investigation was initiated based on credible intelligence concerning suspicious activities at a building in the Kajorepo area of Akinyele Local Government Area, Ibadan.

“This operation led to the rescue of 19 individuals, all young Ghanaian nationals”

The victims are now in the custody of the Nigerian Immigration Service, where investigations are ongoing to determine the full extent of the trafficking ring and arrange for their safe return to Ghana.

Sarah de Lagarde, the woman who tragically lost her right arm and leg after being run over by two Northern Line trains at High Barnet station on September 30, 2022, has spoken out against Transport for London (TfL) for allegedly blaming her for the incident.

Sarah, a mother of two, explained that she slipped and fell into the gap between the train and platform on a rainy evening, breaking her nose and knocking herself unconscious. She eventually regained consciousness and cried out for help, but no one heard her.

Shockingly, she said the Tube driver saw her handbag on the platform, assumed it was lost property, and continued his journey without checking for a person in need. Moments later, the train departed at 9:54 p.m., running over her arm.
A second train later ran over her leg before she was finally discovered.

She said: “TfL is blaming me for being run over and crushed by not one, but two London Underground trains.

“TfL’s initial reaction was to label me as a drunk woman wearing high heels, both claims were baseless and have since been withdrawn.

“TfL has posters up across its network urging everyone to “be kind”, which couldn’t be further from how they have treated me.

she added: “I knew in that moment, there was a high chance I was going to die on those Northern Line tracks.

“I started to think about my children, and I knew I owed it to them to come home. I thought to myself, there is no way I am dying here. I need to be with my daughters.

“Miraculously, I survived, but it cost me dearly – the first train took my arm, and the second train took my leg.

“That night I also lost my mobility, my independence, my dignity and, above all, my ability to hug my two young children with both arms.”
