A 10-year-old girl is starting the year orphaned, grieving, and most likely, traumatised for life. A road accident wiped out her entire family: Her parents and her two little brothers. In one instant, everything she knew as normal changed. As happens after nearly every incident, survivors in the fatal accident spoke about the driver’s misconduct, how he appeared drowsy, how he drove dangerously. And this, for me, is where the real tragedy lies.
