\u201cThe cars were on top-speed. When the Jeep overtook the Land Rover, the driver also tried to overtake him. Some people were pushing a taxi so the Land rover tried swerving the taxi but unfortunately, the young boy was crossing the road on his bicycle.\u00a0He tried swerving him too but he couldn\u2019t so he ran into him before jumping on the pavement and crashing into an uncompleted building.\u201d\"1932101_1016838245005694_934386380_n\"<\/a><\/p>\n
