Very sad news. We lost an young lawyer.  May her soul rest in peace.   We should be careful while driving.  We should always keep in mind that speed kills.   It is always better to be late than never.    We should overtake only when there is no vehicle on opposite side.   We will not lose anything if we wait for sometime.   I request all drivers to be very cautious while driving.  May God protect us from accidents.   We should follow the saying "start early, drive carefully and reach safely."
