Car Accident on Route to Diu In Ahmedabad: Hit Biker, Shop Rammed, Elderly Man Crushed
In the vicinity of Khawgali near Una city, the driver lost control over the steering wheel early in the morning, leading to a crash into the pav bhaji shop. Outside the shop, an elderly person was hit by the car and tragically lost his life at the scene. The police have taken custody of the vehicle for further investigation into the incident.
Accident Due to Loss of Steering Control
A family residing in Ahmedabad had come out in their car with registration number GJ-06-PR-2526 and was heading towards the park. Near Khawgali, on the main road, the car's driver lost control over the steering wheel, causing the car to crash straight into the pav bhaji shop. The shop's exterior housed an elderly man named Dineshbhai Gandhi. He succumbed to his injuries at the scene of the accident. The incident caused significant damage to the shop's shutter, glass, tables, and even the pillars of the shop's exterior. Additionally, a bike with registration number GJ-32-AB-7276 was also damaged due to flying debris.
Fatality at the Scene Involving Elderly Pedestrian
The accident involved a car carrying a single family along with four individuals, including children. The car was speeding so much that upon impact, the airbags deployed. Among the occupants was a child named Mihir Kapilbhai Shah. Ahmedabad witnessed grave concerns. While others suffered minor to major injuries, all were promptly attended to by the Emergency 108 ambulance service and were taken to the nearest private hospital for treatment.
Police Take Action at the Scene
The accident caused a commotion on the road, with vehicles and bystanders crowding the area, leading to traffic congestion. Consequently, the police arrived at the scene to clear the traffic and ensure smooth flow. The front portion of the car's bonnet was severely damaged. Upon learning about the accident, the owner of the pav bhaji shop, Bipinbhai Chaganbhai Bambhaniya, rushed to the scene immediately.
Government of Gujarat's Board Mentioned on the Car
It's worth noting that the car, in which the Ahmedabad family was traveling, had the Government of Gujarat's board affixed to its front and a doctor's symbol on its rear window. In the aftermath of the accident, the elderly person's body, who lost his life, was taken to a government hospital for postmortem. The police took further steps for a thorough investigation into the matter.

Δak Δoa, Vietnam
On May 13, Dak Doa district police (Gia Lai) are investigating and clarifying the cause of a traffic accident that killed a child on National Highway 19 (Nguyen Hue street, Dak Doa town)
According to initial information, around 3:40 p.m. on May 12, a road roller of Khang Nhat Co., Ltd. driven by driver Lo Quang Long (36 years old, residing in An Phu commune, Pleiku city, Gia Lai) rolled the road surface at the National Highway 19. The location of the road roller doing construction was on Nguyen Hue Street, Dak Doa Town.
At this time, Ms. Pham Thi Mai (66 years old, residing in village 3, Dak Doa town) was driving a motorbike with license plate number 81AAβ041.06 carrying her grandson L.H.L (6 years old) across the road. Due to not paying attention, Ms. Mai's motorbike was hit by a construction roller. The roller could not stop in time and hit the child, causing the child to die on the spot.
Initially, the authorities determined that the cause of the above accident was because Ms. Mai entered the construction site area and drove a motorbike across the street without paying attention. Driver Long, driving the roller, did not pay attention.

The pilot flew too close to a crane and a main rotor clipped the cable hanging down with the hook. This shattered the rotor blade and the helicopter immediately went down since you need the main rotor to auto-rotate down which is the only safe way to make crash landing with a helicopter.
This crash happened on 2 October 1986 after the sarcophagus was well under way - it was finished in November 1986. The shattered core, thus, probably had already been substantially shielded by prior drops of lead, concrete and boron and radiation most likely was not a cause of the crash, just misjudging distance on the part of the pilot.
The crane was not in place in late April early May 1986 as shown in this photo from the Washington Post (while undated, this clearly was taken before the start of the Sarcophagus construction and after the ten day fire was out)
From July to November 1986, a concrete-made sarcophagus over 50 meters high and measuring 200 m by 200 m was built. It covered the 4th power unit of the Chernobyl NPP and halted the discharges of radioactive substances into the atmosphere. During the sarcophagus construction, an accident occurred: on October 2 a Mi-8 helicopter got entangled with its blades in a crane cable and crashed onto the NPP's territory, killing four crew members.
