Very sad and condolences to my friend CK.

Thanks for sharing. It is awful news. Lately, there has been a lot of report of pedestrian killed in car accidents and the driver, who caused the accident, fled from the scene. Perhaps, it has to do with the weather. Drivers need to drive carefully.

how devastating it is for this family
