In the quiet hours before dawn on a Monday morning, a young man named Abhishek Yadav set out on a journey toward Uttarakhand and did not arrive. Near the Harsinghpur turn on Lucknow's Puranpur highway, a speeding roadways bus met his car with fatal force, claiming his life at 28 and leaving four others critically injured. The incident is singular in its grief yet familiar in its pattern — one of countless collisions that unfold on India's highways in the dark hours when speed and fatigue conspire against the living.
