    Sad to hear this.May his soul rest in peace.Hope the wife recovers fast .wish her all the best.Many people who enter the autobahn or main street ,from sides doesnt even wait to see if any vehicle is coming.Simply enter with high speed.People who are on main street cant stop all of a sudden or lessen their milage so accidents happen .Hope Police will clear this.Heartfelt sympathies to family.

    How many people are loosing their lives due to an accident. First thing is poor planning by authorities while constructing the road, second thing is no driving g sense among indians. It's always better to install dash cam in your car. Most of the people while joining the main highway doesn't even look at the on coming traffic , just keep on drive. In this case I have no idea what happened. May their soul RIP
