Time without numbers, avoidable deaths had happened. And the most annoying thin is that, it would still happen. So many ways to die in this country. Even if the driver goes to jail, it can never atone for the bereaved families. "who don die don die". May God make someone not to be unfortunate. RIP to the departed souls. ![]() |
