    Very unfortunate. Again this is second accident in just two days, both due to speeding trucks, these truck drivers are reckless, they do speeding, overtake, exhaust themselves so that they cannot drive in right sense of mind!

    Police should take strict action against these drivers.

    Also, people on bikes should wear helmets at all times.
