Netizens’ comments
- The guilt of losing the little girl will always be carried on her nanny’s shoulders. A few seconds of impatience and sheer recklessness will taints the lady’s life forever. The little girl is gone and will soon be forgotten by most of us but she will always be remembered by her parents, brothers & sisters. My sincerest condolences to the family.
- I cant hear or see this kind of news. It’ll boils my blood to ‘another level’. Seriously ….
- Always give way to big vehicle … they care not for small motors even if they r wrong /right ( too late )
- Condolences to the bereaved family. It’s a reminder to always be cautious and mindful when we’re on the road. Pointing fingers do no good. Everyone needed to do their part and be better especially on the road. It’s fasting season so let’s not slander. Read the news, learned a lesson, move on.
