In the early hours of a Friday morning on the Yamuna Expressway near Mathura, a momentary loss of control by a bus driver erased five lives and shattered the journeys of all who were present. A family traveling to extend an invitation to a minister never reached their destination; the bus driver who crossed the divider never completed his route. The crash, which fused two vehicles into a single wreckage, is a reminder that the roads built to connect us carry within them an unforgiving arithmetic — where one error, at speed, can become irreversible for everyone in its path.
