So tragic! A family returning from a mudan ceremony... this could have been any of us. The driver running away shows complete lack of humanity. Hope the police catch him soon and justice is served.

Five people on one motorcycle? This is unfortunately common in many parts of India, but it's extremely dangerous. While the carrier driver is clearly at fault, we also need better awareness about road safety.

A 9-month-old baby and 2-year-old child... this is too painful to read. Our roads have become death traps. The administration must ensure the compensation reaches the family immediately.

While the accident is tragic, I'm concerned about the pattern - why are commercial vehicles often involved in such accidents? There needs to be better driver training and regular vehicle fitness checks.

This happens too often on UP highways. Commercial vehicles drive like they own the road. Police should set up regular checkpoints and enforce speed limits strictly. My condolences to the family 🙏
