Cyclist jailed a week over collision with jogger who suffered serious injuries
SINGAPORE: A man who was cycling at East Coast Park failed to see a jogger in front of him and crashed into her, causing her to suffer serious fractures with neurological consequences. Edmund Kwek Jun Wei, 34, was given a week's jail on Friday (Jun 20), after he pleaded guilty to a charge of causing grievous hurt through a negligent act. The incident happened in the early morning of Oct 22, 2024. At around 6.20am, Kwek was riding at about 22kmh along a cycling path with a speed limit of 25kmh. The lights were still lit. Kwek was looking down at one point and failed to see the jogger, 48-year-old Tan Jo-Ann. When he looked up, he saw Ms Tan's back before colliding into her. Kwek was flung off his bicycle, while Ms Tan fell to the ground. When Kwek attended to the victim, she was unable to respond to his questions. He called for emergency services. Ms Tan was taken to Changi General Hospital where she was found to have serious injuries, including fractures on her right skull, the base of the skull and a possible fracture behind her nose. She was discharged on Nov 6, 2024, 16 days later. The injuries affected her sense of smell, taste and left ear hearing, and Ms Tan reported experiencing vertigo when bending forward. An examination showed that she had partial hearing loss in her left ear. Her sense of smell was still lacking as of January this year. Ms Tan attended around 19 sessions of speech therapy until March this year and her speech has improved, with no residual motor deficits, court documents stated. Kwek's lawyer Bozy Lu from Han & Lu Law Chambers told the court that her client had been training for a marathon when the incident occurred. Ms Lu said Kwek tried to offer compensation to Ms Tan, but she declined. The defence lawyer added in mitigation that Kwek was remorseful and pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity he had.

Rays pitcher Hunter Bigge taken from field on cart after being struck in dugout by foul ball vs. Orioles Thursday's game between the Baltimore Orioles and Tampa Bay Rays at Steinbrenner Field included a scary moment during the seventh inning that saw a player put on a stretcher and taken from the field on a cart. Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman hit a foul ball off Tampa Bay pitcher Connor Seabold that rocketed into the Rays' dugout and hit relief pitcher Hunter Bigge. Based on the reaction of players, it was immediately apparent that a serious injury had occurred, according to Tampa Bay Times reporter Marc Topkin. Rays trainer Joe Benge called for paramedics and a cart and stretcher were brought to the dugout. The injured player was later identified by the Rays TV broadcast as Bigge. As he was taken from the field, he gave several thumbs-up gestures to the crowd. Advertisement Judging from video taken of the foul ball, Bigge was not only hit by the foul ball with no time to react but also fell from the bench near the dugout rail where he was sitting. Bigge was in the dugout because he's currently on the injured list with a right lat strain. After Bigge was taken from the field, the game resumed with two outs in the seventh and Baltimore holding a 4-1 lead over Tampa Bay. This story will be updated.

WWE star Liv Morgan's biggest rival slams ‘disgusting' fans after injury
The post WWE star Liv Morgan's biggest rival slams 'disgusting' fans after injury appeared first on ClutchPoints. Despite being rivals, Rhea Ripley cares about Liv Morgan, and she sent a message to fans celebrating the WWE Women's Tag Team Champion's injury. Advertisement She took to X, formerly Twitter, to call out fans who were celebrating Morgan's injury. 'PSA. Don't celebrate an injury,' said Ripley. 'Disgusting behavior. Don't be like them.' We wish Morgan a speedy recovery from her latest injury. The extent of it is unclear, but it is reportedly '100% a legitimate injury,' according to PWInsider. Hopefully, Morgan will return to the ring sooner rather than later. Liv Morgan's latest WWE injury During the June 16, 2025, edition of Monday Night RAW, Morgan took on Kairi Sane in a singles match. In the opening moments, Sane avoided a kick by Morgan, throwing her to the ground. Advertisement Morgan landed awkwardly on her right arm. The slow-motion replays show her facial expression after falling, and she appeared hurt. She was writhing in pain before sliding out of the ring. She was unable to finish the match. So, Sane was declared the winner. It is unclear whether or not they will resume their feud upon Morgan's return. Hopefully, Morgan will have a speedy recovery. She returned from a different shoulder injury in 2023 that kept her on the shelf for roughly six months. Upon her return, Morgan has been on a tear. She won the Women's World Championship from Becky Lynch at King and Queen of the Ring in May 2024. Morgan would hold it for 226 days before losing it to Ripley. Advertisement Currently, Morgan is in her record-setting fourth reign as Women's Tag Team Champion with Raquel Rodriguez. They lost the titles to Lynch and Lyra Valkyria at WrestleMania 41 before regaining them one night later. Now, their fourth reign is put in danger of being ended if Morgan has to relinquish the title. Again, we will have to wait and see what the prognosis is. Morgan is already a two-time Women's World Champion in her career. She has also won the Money in the Bank ladder match once in her career (in 2022). Morgan also became the inaugural Women's Crown Jewel Champion in 2024 after beating Nia Jax at the namesake event.

WWE star Liv Morgan's injury gets ‘severe' update
The post WWE star Liv Morgan's injury gets 'severe' update appeared first on ClutchPoints. For those who thought WWE Superstar Liv Morgan's shoulder injury on Monday Night RAW on Netflix was scripted, it was '100% legitimate.' Advertisement PWInsider reports Morgan's injury was not part of a storyline. She was brought backstage after she dislocated her shoulder, and WWE is still waiting to get the official severity of the injury. 'If it is a severe dislocation, it could be upwards of 16 weeks before someone is cleared for athletic activity, but again, this is all dependent on the final diagnosis in terms of how severe the dislocation is[,] and that has not been determined as of this writing,' the report read. Luckily, Morgan's opponent, Kairi Sane, who was in the ring during Zoey Stark's recent scare, doesn't have any 'heat' on her for the injury. 'It was being seen as a freak occurrence[,] and there is no heat on anyone,' PWInsider notes. WWE star Liv Morgan's shoulder injury During the June 16, 2025, edition of RAW, Morgan faced Sane in a singles match. The injury occurred within the opening seconds of the match. Sane ducked under a kick by Morgan, pulling her down before the former Women's World Champion landed awkwardly. Advertisement Right after dislocating her shoulder, Morgan rolled out of the ring. The slow-motion replays showed Morgan's bad landing, and she was immediately writhing in pain upon her landing. WWE officials helped Morgan to the back. Her match against Sane did not have a definitive winner. Sane was named the winner due to Morgan leaving, but the score will have to be settled upon her return. Some fans must have been celebrating the injury, as Morgan's rival, Rhea Ripley, stood up for her on X, formerly Twitter. 'PSA. Don't celebrate an injury,' Ripley wrote. 'Disgusting behavior. Don't be like them.' We will have to wait and see how long Morgan is out of action. She is in the midst of her record-setting fourth Women's Tag Team Championship reign with Raquel Rodriguez. Advertisement Additionally, she is entrenched in a Judgment Day storyline involving Roxanne Perez. It appears Perez is trying to take her spot in the faction, attempting to win Dominik Mysterio over. Morgan is also coming off her first 'major' movie role. She will star in Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo alongside Shun Oguri and Lily James. We are all hoping for a speedy recovery for Morgan.
