It was so disturbing to hear the news of young Jessila Carvalho Who was hurrying on a cycle her academic prowess to show,
When she was struck from behind by a careless truckdriver An accident from which she failed to be a survivor – Oh what an untimely, sad and most tragic way that was to go! It is not only in Goa that such accidents occur And do not cause much more than a local stir, But it is still important that we voice our outrage And a battle against such errant drivers stage If we want their carelessness to minimise or deter. - Shanti Dhoot Message: 1 Date: Sat, 15 Mar 2008 20:05:54 +0530 From: "Goa Desc" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Goanet] GOA's KILLER ROADS:Navelim school girl crushed to death by loaded truck To: goanet@lists.goanet.org Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rawanfond girl crushed to death --------------------------------- A pall of gloom descended on Rawanfond area after a 16-year old girl student was crushed under the wheels of a loaded truck at Rawanfond on Wednesday afternoon.
