    IT IS A TRAGEDY THAT LOT OF LIVES JUST DEPEND ON ONE HEADSTRONG DRIVER WHO JUST DRIVES THE WAY HE WANTS.
    DRIVER HAS EQUAL RESPONSIBILITY AS PILOT OF AN AIRCRAFT. LITTLE CAUTION WILL NOT RESULT IN INORDINATE DELAYS. BUT FOR SURE PEOPLE REACH SAFE AND SOUND.

    RIP bros and sisters!!

    It is very ironical and unexplainable that entire families get wiped out in gruesome accidents especially while on the way on pilgrimage or visiting /returning from holy places to pay obeisance to their family deities/Gods/Babas/Gurus, who the victims expect to protect them in troubled times through divine intervention!! Why and what does this indicate?? Any explanations??

    It is their destiny which nobody could have changed. May their souls RIP. As I can see there is a queue of trucks on left hand side track and this driver was in a hurry to overtake and pass. At the same time the truck driver could have averted this accident by taking his truck outside the border line to his extreme left. I can see there was space. John Carlo

    Sad incident, RIP to those who lost lives. What I see these days on the road is there will be a convoy of slow moving trucks with absolutely no gap between the two trucks. The practice of issuing hand signals is long gone. It is the responsibilty of the vehicle ahead to issue correct hand signals indicating whether overtaking is safe or not. Smaller vehicles on their part are very very impatient and take huge risks in overtaking. With vehicular density increasing, the only way out is to go for a minimum of four lanes which will avoid head on collisions and toll these roads. At the same time, abolish road tax and vehicles will pay as they use the road via toll.

    I disagree with your truck driver views. There is never any chance to react in such incidents, it is always INSTANT and DISASTROUS. Remember a Heavy Loaded Truck is not easy to brake and turn like one expects while playing video games. Ask any transport expert and the views will be the same. Lastly the Indian LAWS should and must be changed to reflect the defaulter in this case the car driver to be prosecuted and pay damages to all the persons. But sadly the truck driver will be charged and pay for no fault of his.

    May their souls rest in peace. Sincere condolences to thier family.

    It reminds a lesson for the day :
    We start our day but never know whether we are going to go to bed or we go out and not sure whether we are coming home alive Some make it but some don't

    In the same way some go to bed, some wake up but some don't see the sun next day!

    If this is the situation, be grateful to God as you made this beautiful day and still alive. If you agree, you are thankful to God.

    Nowadays such kind of accidents killing the entire kith and kin is a quite common affair. Who has to blame for this? It is nothing but careless, negligence attitudes of the driver. Why overtake in such a hurry and speed? This has cost them dearly. Anyway accident mean accident. May their souls rest in peace. This is the only solace we can give.
