The incident happed in the US city of Ada, Oklahoma, as Muskratt's car rolled on its side and quickly turned into a burning wreck to the horror of those in attendance.

Hughes was able to rescue his rival as he was wearing a fire-protective jumpsuit unlike the track personnel on scene.

wrong turn and ended up on a half marathon course.

The referee added:" I asked their captain where the second twin had

After QPR owner Tony Fernandes pledged to look into the case of a season-ticket holder who was aggrieved at the view from his seat at Loftus Road (right), we were inspired to trawl the internet and find the worst stadium views around.

There was no shortage of awful vantage points to choose from, whether unlucky punters found their view of the action obscured, or if they were denied even a hint of leg room.

Here for your enjoyment are the pick of a particularly bad bunch.

Amateur footballers will be able to compare their performance to the game's stars - courtesy of a £245 pair of boots.

A new boot from sports apparel manufacturer Adidas claims players will be able discover personal speed, distance and work rate during a match - whether it be a pub match on a Sunday morning or a kickabout with friends in a public park - wearing what they are calling "the boot with a brain".

The use of computer chips in sport is becoming more and more prevalent. Last year there was a lot of talk about chips being inserted into footballs after Frank Lampard's goal was disallowed
