At that time, a motorbike and a car were approaching at high speed from the opposite direction.

Wednesday's accident has once again claimed the life of a young man prematurely. The question arises: when will this procession of death stop! Police claim that surveillance and traffic control are being increased to prevent accidents. But the question that is now circulating in this so-called smart city is whether accidents are actually decreasing in reality.
