Drive safely and avoid the distractions

Keep your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.....

Iron rods protruding from a truck pierced through a car when it rear-ended the truck, killing one and injuring two others.

Amit, working with a software firm in Noida, a suburb of Delhi, was driving to work with two colleagues in a Hyundai I-10 when he hit the truck.

An iron girder got stuck in his body. He died immediately, said police sources. His colleagues are seriously injured and are in hospital.

This could happen just about anywhere when not driving safely, not keeping enough distance between vehicles or even overloading or excess cargo on the vehicles

Tragic news..

This happens in many developing countries. The fault usually lies with the trucks and the governemnt for allowing the delivery of such loads without proper safety considerations.

A agonizing way to die,no doubt, and we should indeed take a lesson from such calamities. It takes only a few moments of distraction when at the wheel for something as terrible as this to occur. Scary stuff!
