Illegal immigrant allegedly causes fatal semi-truck crash on highway, killing driver: officials

An illegal immigrant in Indiana was arrested after allegedly causing a fatal semi-truck crash, according to officials.

The Portage Police Department reported that Broko Stankovic was driving on US Highway 20 in Indiana on Wednesday when traffic came to a stop due to a Ram Sprinter turning near Douglas Drive. However, the suspect did not appear to slow down in his semi-truck, according to FOX 32.

Officials stated that Stankovic attempted to make a hard evasive left turn, entering opposite traffic and colliding with a Subaru Crosstrek. As a result, the semi-truck jackknifed and struck the Ram Sprinter, which was pushed into a road sign.

Tragically, the 54-year-old driver of the Subaru died at the scene.

Further investigation revealed that Stankovic was in possession of a suspended Illinois Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) belonging to a family member, but did not have a valid CDL himself. Additionally, his company was not registered with the Department of Transportation.

Due to Stankovic’s immigration status, ICE placed a detainer on him as he was being transported to the Porter County Jail. He has been charged with felony reckless homicide and felony criminal recklessness resulting in death.

Fox News Digital has reached out to ICE for more information.

Stampede At West Bengal’s Bardhaman Railway Station After Multiple Trains Arrive Together; Several Injured, Probe Ordered – VIDEO Surfaces

**Stampede at Bardhaman Railway Station Causes Injuries Amid Festive Rush**

Kolkata, October 12: A stampede occurred at Bardhaman railway station in West Bengal on Sunday evening following the simultaneous arrival of three to four trains on platforms 4, 5, and 6. The sudden rush of passengers attempting to board and disembark trains led to panic, with many scrambling on the narrow staircases and footbridge. This resulted in several people being trampled and injured.

Horrific visuals of the incident have surfaced on social media, showing massive crowds at the railway station. According to reports from India TV, the overcrowding was triggered as passengers hurried to catch trains heading towards Haldibari and other destinations. The situation was further exacerbated by the narrow bridge and limited exits, making it difficult for commuters to move through the heavy crowd.

Officials confirmed that 10 to 15 passengers sustained injuries, including four women. The injured were promptly given first aid by railway doctors before being transferred to Bardhaman Medical College and Hospital for further treatment. Most of the injured are reported to be in stable condition.

This incident has raised serious concerns regarding the lack of effective crowd control and inadequate safety measures at this busy railway junction. The stampede took place during the festive season rush, a period when train traffic and passenger footfall are at their peak.

In response, railway authorities have launched an inquiry into the incident and have assured the public that steps will be taken to improve crowd management and prevent similar accidents in the future.

Universal to reopen Stardust Racers ride two weeks after man’s death

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Universal Orlando Resort plans to reopen its Stardust Racers ride at Epic Universe more than two weeks after a 32-year-old man died of blunt force injuries following a ride on the high-speed roller coaster.

Signs will be updated to reinforce existing warnings and eligibility requirements to help visitors decide if they should go on the dual-launch coaster, which reaches speeds of up to 62 mph (100 kph), Karen Irwin, president and chief operating officer at Universal Orlando Resort, said Friday in a memo to workers. The ride is scheduled to reopen on Saturday.

The family of Kevin Rodriguez Zavala had publicly urged Universal not to reopen the ride until all investigations were finished and they had a better understanding of how he died. The medical examiner for the Orlando area ruled the cause of death as multiple blunt impact injuries and said the manner of death was an accident. The full autopsy report has not been made public.

Zavala had a spinal disability from birth and used a wheelchair, but his family’s attorneys stated that his disability did not cause his death on September 17.

Irwin said the ride at Universal’s newest theme park had undergone an extensive operational and technical review that confirmed the ride systems had functioned properly and that Universal workers had followed proper procedures. The ride systems manufacturer and an independent roller coaster engineering expert also conducted on-site testing, supporting Universal’s findings.

Separately, a woman sued Universal Orlando Resort last week, claiming she was injured on the ride. She stated the ride shook her violently and slammed her head into her seat’s headrest.

Attorneys for Zavala’s family said this week that others have reached out to them with similar stories about the ride, which officially opened in May with the debut of the new theme park.

Madras High Court Orders SIT Probe Into Vijay’s TVK Rally Stampede

**Madras High Court Orders SIT Probe Into Karur Stampede at Vijay’s TVK Rally**

Chennai: Days after a tragic stampede at actor Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) rally in Karur claimed 41 lives, the Madras High Court (principal seat in Chennai) on Friday ordered the constitution of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the incident. The SIT will be headed by Inspector General of Police Asr Garg.

The court strongly condemned the TVK leaders for “abandoning” the innocent people who had gathered to watch Vijay but tragically lost their lives. In addition, the court directed the police to take action against the party’s office bearer, Aadhav Arjuna, for deleting a social media post that called for a Nepal-like Gen Z revolt.

In a related development, the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court declined to order a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe, noting that the police investigation was still at a nascent stage. However, the bench instructed the State government not to grant permission for political rallies on highways until a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is established.

Separately, the court dismissed anticipatory bail petitions filed by TVK party general secretary ‘Bussy’ Anand and another office bearer, CTR Nirmal Kumar, both named in the FIR related to the stampede.

Justice N Senthilkumar, presiding over the main case in Chennai, directed the Karur police to hand over all documents related to the FIR to the SIT. The judge expressed concern that the State appeared lenient towards the accused, highlighting that several party leaders fled the scene after many women and children died.

Regretting the lack of remorse from the party leadership, Justice Senthilkumar commented that this attitude reflected their “mental state.” He added, “The court, however, cannot close its eyes. The court cannot be a mute spectator. The court cannot shirk its responsibilities. The entire world has witnessed the sequences as well as consequences of the event.”

Describing the tragedy as a man-made disaster, the judge noted that even the President and Prime Minister had expressed condolences and extended support to the victims and their families.

The judge also took note of a petition mentioning that Vijay was named in the FIR. Citing video footage showing two-wheeler riders getting injured after falling near Vijay’s caravan, Justice Senthilkumar questioned why no hit-and-run case had been registered. He urged the police to suo motu file an FIR based on the available video evidence to ensure a thorough investigation.

Pune: 11-Year-Old Boy Dies In Tragic Lift Mishap At Housing Society In Pimpri-Chinchwad’s Chovisawadi – VIDEOS

**Tragic Lift Mishap Claims Life of 11-Year-Old Boy in Pimpri-Chinchwad**

An 11-year-old boy lost his life in a tragic lift accident in Pimpri-Chinchwad’s Chovisawadi area on Thursday evening. The young boy became trapped in a lift between the third and fourth floors of a residential building, where he remained stuck for over three hours before the rescue team could reach him. Unfortunately, the injuries he sustained led to his death.

The deceased has been identified as Amey Sahebrao Phadtare, a resident of Ramsmruti Housing Society, Chovisawadi. An Accidental Death Report (ADR) has been registered at the Dighi Police Station, confirmed Senior Police Inspector Pramod Wagh, the officer in charge of the station.

According to Fire Brigade officials, the incident was reported at 5:05 pm. However, residents of the society stated that Amey had been trapped since around 3 pm, but no one realized the situation initially.

A fire brigade official described the critical nature of the rescue operation: “It was observed at the scene that an 11-year-old boy was trapped between the 3rd and 4th floors. Both his legs were on the third floor while the lift was struggling to move upwards. We broke the lock of the lift room door and turned off the electric supply.”

Following this, the fire brigade personnel together with the Pimpri-Chinchwad Disaster Management team acted swiftly. They carefully brought the lift down and successfully rescued the boy.

Amey was immediately admitted to the nearby KK Hospital, where doctors commenced treatment. Despite their best efforts, the boy was declared dead shortly after arrival.

Local residents shared that Amey had been stuck in the lift for hours and his cries for help were heard, but it took time before anyone understood that someone was trapped inside.

This heartbreaking incident, occurring on the auspicious occasion of Dussehra, has sent shockwaves of grief throughout the city. The community mourns the tragic loss of a young life under such unfortunate circumstances.
