    This is really sad! My deepest sympathies to the family! All drivers has a responsibility to make sure the safety of other road users. Good training and proper tests for the license are key factors to minimize road accidents.

    Nodrog Wednesday, 26 September 2012 12:27 PM

    Maybe and maybe not. Very sorry for the parents but could just be his carelessness.

    Marikkar Wednesday, 26 September 2012 12:06 PM

    Lobo Wednesday, 26 September 2012 11:09 AM

    Read the story suresh, it says the child was 'waiting by the roadside' NOT running on the road!

    hrm Wednesday, 26 September 2012 10:46 AM

    exactly. It's mother's responsibility to keep the child safe. Very sad indeed.

    James Wednesday, 26 September 2012 10:33 AM

    I'm sure the kid got excited over seeing the father's bus and jumped to the road :(

    Dinesh Wednesday, 26 September 2012 07:12 AM

    Reckless driving.....Now he feels the pain of the other victims and their loved ones murdered by these bus drivers.....

    Ananth Wednesday, 26 September 2012 08:57 AM

    Good lesson for all thebusdriver's who dive restlessly on te roads every where in the country....

    suresh Wednesday, 26 September 2012 08:36 AM

    Dont say that. Sometimes these children run onto the road. Maybe this child did the same, seeing the father.

    Lobo Wednesday, 26 September 2012 08:10 AM

    Poor poor child. If this maniac at the wheel has no regard for his own child's life how can he care for his passengers or other road users?

    LankanFellow1com Wednesday, 26 September 2012 08:07 AM

    heart breaking news... Mother should have taken care of the child.

    SudhuPancha Wednesday, 26 September 2012 08:00 AM
