MLA's Pilot Car in Fatal Crash: Vehicle Unfit for Road Use
Imagine a car that was not supposed to be on the road because it was too old.
This car was driving in front of a politician's car.
This old car crashed into a motorcyclist, who sadly died.

The government has rules about how long they can use their cars, and this one was too old.
Now, the police are looking into what happened to figure out why the accident happened.
