The cousin wrote in his poignant note,

A part of all (of) us was taken away.

The family was very close, doing everything together, according to the cousin. It was to the point where they were looked up to as a loving family.

In the aftermath of the accident, which also resulted in the death of a 53-year-old woman in hospital, MPs and Tower Transit, the bus company involved in the incident, have said they’re rendering assistance to the involved families.

Police investigations are ongoing, so it would be best not to speculate about the incident. Whatever happened, two lives were lost, and several others were injured. As the OP notes, kindness and empathy are what the families need right now.

MS News offer our sincere condolences to the families of the deceased, and we hope they rest in peace.
