SUV gets stuck on beach near Surat; owner arrested for rash driving
Last Updated: Surat, Jul 23 (PTI) A man drove his high-end SUV on the Dumas beach near Surat, where the car eventually got stuck in sand, prompting the police to arrest him for rash driving, officials said on Wednesday. The police will also request the insurer of the SUV, a Mercedes-Benz car valued at more than Rs 1 crore, not to approve any claim for damages so as to send across a message to people to refrain from taking their vehicles to prohibited areas, they said. The administration has through a notification prohibited taking four-wheelers on the beach. The sports utility vehicle (SUV) was pulled out from the marshy beach on Tuesday after nearly 36 hours, an official said. In a short video which went viral on social media platforms a couple of days back, two men can be seen standing helplessly near the stranded car on the Dumas beach. After learning about the incident through the viral clip, local police tracked down the owner, identified as 50-year-old Aksar Abdulla Shah, on Tuesday and arrested him on charges of rash driving under section 281 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, an official said. 'Shah claimed the incident took place on Sunday morning when he went to the Dumas beach with his wife in their SUV. While driving the car on the marshy beach, the vehicle eventually got stuck in the sand," Assistant Commissioner of Police Deep Vakil said. The man was later granted bail, he said. After being stuck for nearly 36 hours, the SUV was pulled out of the thick layer of sand on Tuesday, Vakil said. 'To set an example for such people who take their vehicles in prohibited areas, we will report this incident to the insurance firm to ensure that Shah does not get any money for the damages," the police officer said.

Woman, 30, left in agony after developing rare condition which makes her feel like she's been set on fire
When Rachel Bradford first noticed a blotchy rash breaking out over her skin, she put it down to pregnancy. But within weeks the expectant mother was in excruciating pain leaving her with the complexion of 'a dead person' and practically immobile. As her due date loomed closer, Ms Bradford, 30, and her husband Jack, from Devon, pushed for answers after she suffered uncontrollable spasms and her skin began to blister, forcing her to step back from work. 'It feels like I'm burning alive, like my body is constantly on fire,' the support worker said. 'I was praying the pain would stop—I couldn't take it anymore and I felt no one was listening to me, no one was taking me seriously.' After calling NHS 111, the couple were advised to seek help at Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, where they were told her condition was not a cause for concern. 'We were still being told it could go away after pregnancy, it was just sort of brushed off,' her husband added. Then, unable to give birth naturally due to her swollen limbs that saw her wheelchair bound, Ms Bradford was forced to give birth to her son, Michael, via emergency C-section on May 31 2024. 'I couldn't have a natural birth anyway because I couldn't open my legs', she explained. 'They were so swollen from the condition and my mobility was almost nothing at that point.' But the burning sensation did not subside after she gave birth, leaving her contemplating taking her own life just months after her son was born. It was until almost a year later, however, that the true cause of her burning symptoms came to light. In February this year, the young mother was diagnosed with erythromelalgia—a rare condition that causes burning pain, redness and hot skin, along with chronic regional pain syndrome (CRPS). 'It's thought the condition is related to her blood vessels,' Mr Bradford explained. 'So they will either completely constrict and she will look like a dead person, or it will go the other way to the point her skin will blister.' Along with the classic symptoms of the condition, which include burning pain that often starts as itching, redness and swelling the mother-of-one also suffers from spasms, brain fog, joint pain and loss of feeling in her extremities. She said: 'The condition has taken everything from me. Pregnancy, motherhood, my job my mobility, my independence—I can't even play with my son.' 'She can't escape it. From the moment she opens her eyes, it's the first thing she feels,' her husband added. 'If Michael, now one, sits on Rachel's lap for even for even just five minutes it causes her thighs to flare up. 'Rachel is an amazing mum and to see her completely limited by something outside of her control is absolutely horrendous.' A flare-up can come last anywhere from a few minutes to a few days, leaving Ms Bradford's skin looking blue. Ms Bradford is now trying new medications to help manage symptoms, but the couple say they are 'disappointed' with the standard of care offered by the hospital. Mr Bradford said when they visited Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital for his wife's pain, staff told her to 'put some socks on' and sent her away, insisting there was nothing they could do to help her. 'We've found it all so frustrating,' he said. 'It's been endless amounts of disappointment and it's not given us any hope.' The couple have now launched a GoFundMe page, which has raised over £2,000 so far, to help them fund scrambler therapy in Italy—a non-invasive treatment helping patients in chronic pain. 'If we have the money for another option, another treatment…I don't want Rachel to be hitting a point where she says we have nothing more to try,' Mr Bradford said. The hospital has since issued an apology and have encouraged Mrs Bradford to raise her concerns with their complaints team for further investigation. A spokesperson for the hospital said: 'We are dedicated to providing safe, high-quality care to our patients with compassion and we're very sorry to hear that Mrs Bradford's experience of care did not meet these standards.' Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust added in a statement: 'Last year we received correspondence on behalf of Rachel Bradford via our Patient Advice and Liaison Service. 'In our response we apologised that Rachel's experience of her care was not a positive one; we are committed to learning from feedback and improving the experience of women and their families who attend our departments for their care.' According to the NHS, it is not clear what causes erythromelalgia. Sometimes the condition can be triggered by a faulty gene or brought on by another condition. Whilst treatment can vary depending on the cause, most treatments aim to prevent flare-ups which are usually triggered by an increase in body temperature. Treatments options include medicines, creams, gels, sprays, tablets and medicines injected directly into the bloodstream. Rarely, sufferers will need surgery.

Teen pillion rider killed as dumper hits bike
Mumbai: A 19-year-old pillion rider died after being run over by a dumper in a hit-and-run case on Sion-Panvel highway in Mankhurd on Saturday morning. He and his friend, who was riding the bike, were on their way to Raigad on a trekking trip arranged by their college.

'Shaikh and Idrisi were late to register for the trek. So the seats in the bus were filled up and they had to go on their bike. Shaikh was driving,' said a police officer and added that when they halted at a petrol pump in Mankhurd, they found a few of their college friends who were also on their way to Raigad on their bikes.

Arizona Diamondbacks fighting their way through a rash of injuries
The Arizona Diamondbacks have been snakebit all season. Injuries plagued the club in spring training and have continued to wreak havoc as the season reaches the midpoint, leaving manager Torey Lovullo searching for answers as he tries to cobble together a daily lineup. 'I have not seen anything like this,' Lovullo said from Chicago this week. 'Usually, you have a bad week or a bad month, or two guys in a 30-day period of time that will go down, but it's just been one after another. It's frustrating. I feel for the players. I feel for this team.' It's been painful. Left-hander Corbin Burnes, signed to a $210 million, six-year deal in January, lasted 11 starts before going down with a season-ending elbow injury. He followed fellow starter Jordan Montgomery and proceeded key reliever Justin Martinez in needing Tommy John surgery. Reliever A.J. Puk also needs elbow surgery, to repair his left ulnar collateral ligament, a procedure that could turn into Tommy John. Pitchers Tommy Henry, Blake Walston and Christian Montes de Oca also are out for the season. Catcher Gabriel Moreno has been out with a broken finger after being hit by a foul ball on June 15. Backup catcher Adrian Del Castillo has dealt with shoulder and back issues, spoiling his chance to move up from Triple-A Reno to replace Moreno. The hits kept coming this week. Arizona placed All Star outfielder Corbin Carroll on the injured list with a chip fracture in his left wrist before Tuesday's game against the White Sox, then watched infielder Ildemaro Vargas go down with a broken foot after being hit by a pitch in the second inning. Carroll has been out since being hit by a pitch on June 18. Third baseman Eugenio Suárez has been out of the lineup since being hit on the hand by a pitch on Monday. First baseman Josh Naylor also was injured on Monday, straining his right shoulder on an awkward swing, but returned to the lineup on Wednesday. 'It's part of the game, but we've taken on a lot, there's no denying that," Lovullo said. "A lot of teams have. I don't want anybody to feel sorry for us. But it's our turn to go out there and figure out how to get the job done, and that's where my main focus is right now.' The Diamondbacks have managed to keep their focus during the rash of injuries. With Tuesday's 4-1 win over the White Sox, Arizona has won 10 of 14 to move back into the NL wild card picture. The Diamondbacks aren't out of the NL West race, either, entering Wednesday's game 2 1/2 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers. 'We've just got to push through it,' Arizona outfielder Alek Thomas said. 'The vibe in the clubhouse, are still high. We still come every day to the field with our chin up and smiles on our faces.' Some of those smiles are more like grimaces, but the Diamondbacks have found a way to grit their way through.
