AN ACCIDENT

        It was a very cold morning as it had been raining like cats and dogs the previous night. As my mum was feeling a little under the weather, I decided to walked to school by myself on that day. A bolt out of the blue, when I was about to reached the school, I heard a screeching noise from a car and some screaming by the pedestrian.

        I quickly turned around to see what had happened. I saw a boy was lying down in the middle of the road with his bicycle. He was badly hurt. The floor and his school uniform was all covered with his blood. He was bleeding profusely. There was a white Honda stopped in front of the little boy. The driver of the car quickly came down from the car. Luckily, the car driver did not hurt much. He just had some injuries on his hand.

       I felt so frighten and anxious at the time. I wanted to call the ambulance but then I realized that my phone was not with me. There was no any telephone booth around either. Luckily, a passer-by that had saw the situation quickly used her mobile phone to call for an ambulance.

       There were a few students that had seen this situation quickly ran into the school to inform the teacher. After a moment, a male teacher rushed out from the school and called to the police without wasting any second. Soon, the ambulance had arrived and the badly injured boy was taken away to the hospital. The police arrived too at the same time. They questioned the driver and some witnesses so as me.

        After that, I quickly ran into the school because I realized that my class was going to start soon. I was already late. There was a way to prevent road accidents happened especially in school area which is by having road bumps. There should also be a lollipop man to help the pupils cross the road. Students should also be taught how to cross the road carefully. As we know "prevention is better than cure".
