HIT AND RUN ACCIDENT

      It was a Sunday night. I walked home alone after buying some food from the nearby night market. I walked along Jalan Mutiara 2. It was quite a deserted road and very few cars were around. As it was getting dark, I walked quickly.

     In a distance, I saw an old woman walking along the pavement. She was pushing a cart. I supposed she was one of the vendors at the night market. She looked tired as she pushing the cart. A bolt out of the blue, a speeding red car came passed her. There was a loud screeching sound. The cart she pushed was thrown far away. The poor old woman was fall and laid motionlessly on the pavement.

      It was a hit and run accident. The driver never stopped but sped off like greased lightning. I quickly took down the car number and used my mobile to call for the police and the ambulance. Within a minute, the ambulance arrived. The paramedics ran down from the ambulance and quickly sent the unconscious victim to the hospital. Soon, the police also arrived at the spot. One of the policeman recorded my statement.

     I felt sorry for the poor old woman. The driver should at least stopped and helped when his car hit the old women. He should not run away when things happened. This is such an irresponsible attitude.
