    O my God,hard.Sorry to hear this.May his soul rest i peace.He was so young.Lorry driver had his mind elsewhere than on road?When big vehicles are on road ,dangerous to drive scooter too in between these vehicles.However now one must clear who is the culprit?High speed from lorry driver?Heartfelt sympathies to family.Better to have a road for heavy vehicles or two wheelers.
