    the people unfortunately killed from reckong peo were my relatives.it says the car lost control but i have heard people say the police found alcohol at the back of the car.i believe they were not under the effect of any alcohol as they had covered most of the journey and add to that they fell down from the other side from where other vehicles would have been coming.they all were very mature as a man was in army and other was a govt lawyer so dont think that they would be drunk in the presence of a wife and an aunt.did the doctors conduct any tests to identify if they were possibly drunk?? people in my village are blaming the person for drunk driving without knowing the actual facts. please it would be well appreciated if u could provide me any further detail about this accident.
