    May his soul rest in peace.
    He serviced our telephone lines, we knew him personally, to know his life would end so tragically is very disturbing, as a small boy I had experienced the pain of bereavement of my brother on the same highway.

    Very sad incident, a family lost their loving husband/father. Strict action to be taken against the lorry driver as he fled from the scene, secondly for his negligence driving. Such cases should be dealt with heavy fines and long jail terms. To avoid such cases in the future Traffic law to be ammended accordinly.
