Jossey S Mumbai,here it is not clear whether he was speeding or in a narrow road night driving made him sleepy and had sekunden sleep.We should never say what we dont know.Many drivers drive long to reach early and in dark must have felt sleepy without his knowledge fell sleepy .It happens to many :May his soul rest in peace.These narrow roads on Ghat are killing maschine.we dont even know whether someone had hit from backside.Driver must have escaped.Heartfelt sympathy to his family.
