Horrible news! I'm from Secunderabad too and this hits close to home. The family must be devastated. Why don't US highways have better safety measures against wrong-way drivers? This keeps happening too often.

As someone living in the US, I must say the roads here can be quite dangerous. The speed limits are high and some drivers are reckless. My deepest condolences to the family. Hope the authorities take strict action against the truck driver.

This is why I'm scared to drive in foreign countries. The rules are different and accidents happen so easily. The government should provide better guidance to Indians traveling abroad about road safety measures.

Om Shanti 🙏 The pain their Hyderabad family must be going through is unimaginable. While we mourn, we must also ask why cars catch fire so easily in accidents. Aren't there better safety standards in modern vehicles?
