Unless drastic measures of accountability are put in place, these accidents will continue to happen. It’s sad that human lives are being lost in situations that could easily be avoided. Both federal and state roads are in unimaginable, deplorable conditions, especially the federal roads. Travel through certain sections of the federal roads, and you wouldn’t even recognize that a drop of tar had ever touched the surface. Secondly, drivers are not adequately checked or regulated. Road safety personnel lack the awareness to identify a driver who is under the influence or fatigued. Many drivers endure long hours, often days, on the road with little or no sleep, relying on roadside stimulants ranging from cheap street drugs to over-the-counter medications. Thirdly, employers of these drivers do not have proper criteria for hiring, performing due diligence, or providing adequate training on professional and safe conduct on the road. Lastly, many of these vehicles are in terrible condition and are not roadworthy. May the souls of the victims of these heart-wrenching incidents rest in peace, and may God Almighty comfort the families left behind in a way only He can
