Life without the main breadwinner
Dear Editor, 
The state vehicle -speeding, lights flashing, siren blaring – involved in the recent, deadly smash -up which claimed lives, was on official duties, though up to now we cannot learn what duty demanded the driver to resort to the employment of the above emergency measures.
The CoI mandated to investigate the ‘shocking event’ should at the very minimum in its recommendations, among many others, incorporate mechanism(s) be devised for families of the deceased and those injured, particularly those with small underage children, to be considered in tangible, meaningful ways, as life without the main breadwinner will no doubt be difficult.
My condolences to all who lost loved ones and best wishes for a full and speedy recovery to those injured.
