    A very sad incident. One man's mistake caused the death of one person and injuring several passengers in both the cars. As it is the roads are bad and it is hard to squeeze in between two lanes.

    From the pics it is clear that it is Nissan demo car belonging to the car dealer. So why does the news item hide the identities of people inside.

    Careless and high speed driving is the root cause of such accidents. ONE YOUNG life is lost for no fault of his. May his soul rest in peace.Such careless drivers to be charged with murder than with accident case where he will not get any punishment.
