    These Tempo owners fill passengers like Sardines.
    They even park their vehicles in the middle of the Road.
    RIP & Speedy Recovery to the Injured ...

    What a tragedy... VERY SAD. Indian roads, speciality two-lane highways are not suitable anymore. Single carriageways with no central dividers to separate the opposite flow of traffic in these days of increasing heavy & modern vehicles, just an invitation every day for such a horrible tragedy.
