This is exactly why I stopped using Touristic as their luggage loaders are pretty much interested in personal gains than the passengers themselves. There loaders once tried imposing me send my bag with a laptop to to be loaded as luggage, I refused and asked for refund and left them for good. Im pretty sure the these poor passengers where unaware they had fuel aboard. Sad indeed.
PROBABLE CAUSE OF CRASH
1. Speeding
2. state of mind(driving under influence)
3. Nature of the road
