Quite unfortunate. Some accidents don't just happen, they are caused. May the souls of the departed find peace. |

Our response to emergencies in this country is absolutely poor That is why I don't overspeed. Apart from the fact that I might lose my life and cause the death of others, my second reason is that if I survive, no emergency unit may come quickly to my rescue May God comfort their families |
