The motorcycle was not driven by two people can't the police get nothing right.
how can this happen
Rest and peace for her family's i pray for her god give carge and i pray were ever she live God keep her best place and happy God bless you little sweetheart
Those hairstyles are horrendous
I hope the surviving child has family to take care of her. Condolences to all involved
This happens everyday and as usual the media pick the story's they can make a profit of and dint care at all.
You won't see the media donating anything they've made but they are sure pumping out as many videos as they can each day and making profit from it.
Vile.
Safe driving everyone. Let's not your loved one's having that phone call from the Police.
💔
What a tragedy…. hope she has an aunt or uncle she can live or other family …
There not mentioning that the motorbike was on the wrong side of a road on a blind crest
I pray that Almighty God gives that child the fortitude and resilience she will need to bear this terrible loss and to move ahead successfully. I pray she has extended family who will support her through this dark time. May the souls of the 6 deceased rest in peace. So so sad. No one knows the next moment- seek the Lord while He may be found, it’s so important with all the horrendous curveballs life throws. 😔
Just shows how fate can throw you a curve ball at any time and every moment with your loved ones is precious ❤️
Not an update in any way to the cause of this tragedy. Standard poor journalism.
Such a sad ☹️ situation.
The motorcycle was not being driven by a man and woman . The motorcycle was being ridden by a man with a female pillion / passenger.
💐 So sorry, condolences to the families and friends of the victims.
Unfortunately, not much is learned from this video, despite it's title.
Terrible news 😢😢😢😢
That car looks like it hit a lorry…
So sad 😭
What happened to the Motorcycle riders? They are probably the ones that caused it no?
How does a motorbike kill everybody in the car? Something isn't adding up in regard to this – were they both racing or something?
That is not a dangerous road, its the people driving on it that makes the danger. This is such an awful thing to gave happened.
Can we do something to improve road safety? We don’t know much details about this particular incident, but I regularly feel unsafe driving on road where I live (North London) or when I travel country side of this country. People take over unnecessary, put pressure on other drivers, show frustration with verbally….
Is there anywhere I can report and share information (dash cam, reg number, etc) any bad drivers who can cause accidents and involve innocent people? Not sure reporting police would do anything in this country.
I thought the 11 year old still has her father? She lost her step father mother and siblings? Someone corrct me please
So who will get that money?? Some relatives? Are they trusted??
Does not say what happened,who was responsible
