Tragic accident It was a very cold morning as it had been raining very heavily the previous night. As my mother was feeling a little under the weather, my sister volunteer to drive me to school. I had overslept and as a result, was running a bit late to school. We got into the car hurriedly. The road was already congested with traffic. It appears that everyone was late as well. My sister was a careful driver and despite the fact I was already late. She refused to drive fast on the slippery road. I was lucky she was such a resolute and careful person because a few hundred meters away from the school, we witness a tragic accident. It all happened very quickly, as most accidents do. A car full of school children had made a left turning without signaling and as a result a school bus crashed into it. A few cars behind the school bus rammed into the bus as they could not brake in time and soon it became a pile up. The already congested road became jammed with vehicles that came to a crawl. The scene that greeted us was something I would never forget. It left an indelible imprint in my mind to date. The impact of the accident had plunged three school children out of car. The driver, a lady, lay lifeless on the steering wheel. I rushed to the children who were preschoolers. Two of them were seriously hurt and bleeding from the head and hands. One of them appeared unconscious and I think she was killed on the spot. In the meantime my sister had called the ambulance and while waiting we tried as best as possible to help the victims. Meanwhile, two ambulances had arrived. A traffic police car was there too. Two policemen were taking down statements from the witnesses. The injured and the dead were taking to the hospital by ambulance. My sister and I later gave an account to the police of about what had happened. I was late to school. In fact, many drivers were also late for their work. I informed my teacher of the accident and both felt that it could have been prevented if the drivers had been more careful. Innocent lives would not have been lost otherwise.
