With no dedicated service roads, underpass etc. for pedestrians, even on highways, it has become a very risky business for people walking along side the roads!

Many people die on roads without any fault than with diseases.More vehicles ,more racing than driving.to many two wheelrs and bikes showing their stunts.Common man has no chance to walk on sides.May his soul rest in peace.Heartfelt sympathies to the family.Now let the killer support the family

Crossing at highways need extra care. Always use pedestrian crossing and be very vigilant about the public crossing

News says he was walking on the side of the road, not crossing the road. Must be a case of rash and negligent driving. Very sad and unfortunate.

Sympathies with deceased, not sure what happened in this case. But one must be very careful while crossing the highways, whatever the urgency it may be. Because after all it is highway and vehicle tend to speed up.

Can't argue with an angry mob, better to go straight police station and call a lawyer.

A good driver is the one who watches for others, we just do not have a system in place when issuing licenses, just bribe and license is yours.Om Shanti to the departed soul.
