THREE Brits, including a child, were killed in a horrific car crash in Iceland on December 27.
With so many unanswered questions, we explain what happened.
Who are the victims?
Rajshree Laturia, the wife of Shreeraj Laturia, was killed when the Toyota Land Cruiser the family was in plunged from a bridge in Iceland.
Rajshree’s sister-in-law Kushi also died.
The third victim is believed to be a three-year-old girl and her name has yet to be released.
Seven people from two British families were inside the car.
The two women were the wives of two brothers, Shreeraj and Noble, as both their families were on a dream holiday to the Scandinavian nation.
The brothers are both British nationals of Indian descent and are among four people seriously injured from the crash.
A boy and a girl, aged eight and nine, were the other two seriously injured.
Sarvesh Laturia, the third brother who is in India, told the Times of India the extent of the family’s loss.
He said: “It was my two brothers and their wives – they are British people.
“They were on vacation and their car met with an accident in which my two sister-in-laws passed away, and my niece passed away.
“My two brothers are in a critical condition in hospital.”
What happened?
The families involved in the tragic accident saw their car smash through the railings at Núpsvötn bridge on December 27.
The Toyota Land Cruiser plunged 30ft from the bridge after it was said to have been driven “wildly” while overtaking cars at more than 50mph as it approached the single-track bridge over a gorge.
Police say the humidity may have made the metal surface of the bridge near Skaftafell in the mountainous south-east slippery.
Police say it remains unclear what caused the driver to lose control of the vehicle
The holiday tragedy happened at about 10am and tour guide Adolf Ingi Erlingsson was the one who came across the vehicle in a crumpled heap on a river bank.
He told The Sun: “People say they had been overtaken by the Toyota being driven wildly at very high speed.”

The guide, who helped cops treat the injured, added: “It was horrible.”
Temperatures were around freezing at the time of the accident, which happened hours before the North Atlantic island saw sunrise at nearly 11.30am.
Chief Superintendent of south Iceland Police Sveinn Kristjan Runarsso said the survivors were taken to hospital with serious injuries, adding “we haven’t been able to talk to them about what happened”.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
