🚓 Plunged

A police car carrying three officers and a civilian runner who had stopped to help fell from the Hlávkův Bridge into the Vltava. All four were pulled from the river alive and are being treated for hypothermia. President Petr Pavel returned from Morocco to cast his ballot in the final day of municipal and Senate elections, though his arrival was preceded by questions regarding the cost of his travel and a serious desert accident involving his delegation. A game developer traveling with the president remains in stable condition after the crash. The second day of voting concludes this afternoon with the opposition ANO party expected to perform well, though analysts suggest any gains in the Senate may prove largely symbolic. Elsewhere, a Formula 1 commentator for TV Nova has been removed from the air over personal debts, proving that even in broadcasting, some finish lines are mandatory.
