SAMPLE TO FOLLOW

WHERE OCCURED: Several years ago, when I was a sophomore student, bus was my most affordable mean of transportation and sitting on the bus I got a chance to witness a wide range of crashes, but an event that I still remember vividly like it just happened yesterday was the head-on collision between a 4wheel car and a motorbike which has traumatized me till now.

WHERE YOU ARE: I was on my way to my boarding house from school and it was my habit to both focus on reading my favorite book and listening to English songs to kill the commuting time. But, all of a sudden, I heard a loud crashing sound and when I looked through the window, what I saw was unimaginable – the motorbike and the driver flew away like an airplane flying, in combination with it was the unbearable screaming sound of the victim. Many residents around started to gather there, and the driver of the four-wheel car was still immovable after being in collision with the motorbike. HOW I FELT: I became speechless on the effect of the devastating accident. The bus stopped nearby for around 30 minutes and I saw the whole event, the entire place became a dismal area when I saw the dead body lying on the sidewalk waiting for an ambulance or the police to reach, I was on the off chance that he still survived. The car driver was blamed for the incident as I heard he was drunk. After coming home, I could not think of anything else. The whole event just occurred in a few minutes and the accident took life of a young man. This made me in a hallucination and felt sorry for that man and his grieving relatives. It came to my mind that for motorbike drivers in my country, commuting on the street likes taking a serious risk and we are nearly helpless.
