In spite of many similar tragedies, one fails to understand why people would want to drive after drinking and knock down innocent people, killing or maiming them in the process. It is strange how and why the family members of these tipplers fail to monitor their movements and alcohol intake. Sad that the government has no fool-proof plan to avoid such tragedies; it seems more bothered about revenue from alcohol sales. Is it not the responsibility of the government to bring in some regulations for bars and wine shops for restricting timing for sale of alcohol? Why not set aside some budget from the excise revenue for the kin of those dying in drunk-driving accidents?
