As someone who has driven on UP roads, the carrier drivers are often reckless and overloaded. The driver fleeing the scene shows complete lack of responsibility. Hope they catch him soon and justice is served.

A 2-year-old and 9-month-old baby... this is too painful to read. They were just returning from a mudan ceremony, probably a happy family occasion turned into tragedy. The administration must ensure the promised assistance reaches the family immediately.

While the carrier driver is definitely at fault, we also need to address why 5 people were on a single motorcycle. This is a common sight across UP and Bihar. Better public transport and awareness about road safety could prevent such tragedies.

The pattern is always the same - accident happens, driver flees, vehicle owner gets blamed, and then nothing changes. We need stricter enforcement of traffic laws and better road infrastructure in rural areas.
