    Pedestrians have the way of right to walk. Whereas vehicle drivers have to respect human lives. It’s not an accident. It’s called manslaughter and no compensation can fill the loss of this family. Therefore, the law should act in accordance with the legislation and bring about justice immediately.

    Too much of this, nowadays. It's time to just stop and punish people severely. Recklessly endangering another's life is not at all tolerated.
