Deaths are always difficult.

But we imagine they hit harder for young individuals whose lives are abruptly cut short.

Even more so for those who have just embarked on a new phase in life.

Unfortunately, dealing with this triple whammy is now a burden faced by the family of a victim of a tragic traffic accident.
