    A terrible tragedy and accident which killed two people and 12 injured. From the pictures we see, it seems to be a head-on collision between a traveler-mini and lorry. May the souls of the deceased RIP and sympathies to the loved ones. I also wish a speedy recovery of those injured in this deadly accident.
