Six of family killed in Belgaum car crash

Belgaum, Dec 3 (DHNS): Six persons of a family, including two children, were killed and a woman seriously injured after the car in which they were travelling rammed a parked lorry on National Highway 4 near Mahanteshnagar in Belgaum on Monday.

The deceased have been identified as Jeenappa Suttur, his wife Gouravva, 55, their sons Chandrashekar, 36, and Ravi, 40, and their grandchildren Yukti Arun Sattur and Vaibhav Sarapure.

    This always happens, when people are going/returning to/from their favorite religious places to pay respect to their favorite deities this happens, mostly entire families get wiped out!! Why? Why?

    RIP. What a speed? Why such a high speed when you do not control? Some people say, this guy drives like an old man(paraba), so you can see and judge the result. At night or early in the morning it is very very dangerous when you cannot see the parked trucks or static vehicles. But at 5.00pm one can judge it is the car drivers' mistake. All should maintain minimum speed in certain areas and always keep the distance (touch me not).
