OMG, this is a real tragedy. Feel sorry for the family. Both Heavy vehicle drivers (Bus, Lorries, Trucks, Etc.,) and Three-wheeler drivers have become a real threat for road safety.

What a tragedy. Irresponsible and downright foolish on the part of the 3 wheeler driver as well as the passengers.

Sorry to hear that news.
10 pasengers in 3-wheeler. I saw lots of school children travel like this. This is very risky. Police should act accordingly.

It beats me as to how 10 passengers can travel in a three-wheeler, is it a double-decker 3-wheeler ?

Wonder how a three wheel can carry ten passengers? Could be that the three wheel driver could not control the overloaded vehicle.
