This is shocking news for us. Our nation lost some intellectuals. We can call this ‘killing’ or road killing, and many people are killed by road accident every day because of our road structure, corruption in giving driving license, and other corruptions.
It is very shocked. We do not want this type of accident.O’God give them peace.
