Obviously no seat belts being worn and typically overloaded car with 8 people inside , and possible drunk driver at the wheel  a recipe for disaster .

Not a happy birthday,

waste of life

I’ve always wondered why select accidents make the news. There are many daily road casualties here, yet today only this one is press worthy.
