    RIP.

    Its really pity the senseless people here comments nonsense.

    Read the report properly, see the location, yesterday it was raining heavily like cats & dogs.

    He was driving at 11.30 PM means late night.

    I am sure due to heavy pouring, visibility of roads must be very poor in the dark under trees.

    Must have misguided the road & drove on the edge of the road which he lost his control & vehicle toppled to water.

    There are chances of drink & drive since it was week end (Sunday).

    SO, please don't blindly blame the deceased & hurt the relatives.

    Hope people won't say here its due to Modi Government or Acche dIn. Disgusting people.

    Mr. John,
    u r commenting like you were present on the spot while car fell down to river. If you dnt know the issue dnt comment something with "MADNESS AND SHOWOFF"

    The bridge is only about 10 feet width, if 1 car coming from one side means even a biker cant pass freely. and curves in both sides are like inviting accident.
