    Very sad.
    Truck driver who escape & ran away from the accident, should be charged under " murder" because instead of helping the victim of accident, the driver had ran away from the accident site. This is really serious issue.

    RIP to the priest. May his soul rest in peace.

    Really pathetic, sorry to see such a grave accident on a normal straight highway. However it is high time to have a divider and increase lanes to accommodate the heavy traffic.
