This is the buzz on Twitter. @news_houndz  Gopinath Munde driver jumped red signal in hurry to reach airport but Indica driver arrested for negligence.

Senior cabinet minister Gopinath Munde's death in a car crash in the capital today has brought into sharp focus once again the alarming number of fatalities on Indian roads with little thought on safety. To put this disquieting data in perspective, almost half the equivalent population of some countries like Iceland or the Maldives is wiped out on Indian roads every year.

As per the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), under the Ministry of Home Affairs, as many as many as 461 people died and 1,301 more were injured "every day" from traffic accidents in the country during 2012. This makes it 19 deaths every hour or more than one death every three minutes.
