An Accident I Have Withnessed

One rainy day last year, while I was returning home from Penang, a
town called Tanjung Tualang, I witnessed an accident which I shall never
forget.
I was returning home in my fathers car. It was raining heavily and the
road therefore could not be seen clearly. My father, an old man, was driving
slowly to avoid an accident. The journey seemed longer than usual, which
made me begin to feel tired.
All of a sudden, a small car ran at a fast speed, overtaking us. My
father was shocked at the carelessness of the driver of the car. We could not
count the number of persons in the car, but were sure that there were at
least five, including two children. I did not wish to see any terrible scene
resulting from accident. Although the car had gone quite far away from us,
its rear lights could still be seen.
In the distance, there was a narrow bridge. Looking at the way the
car was running, I too was now sure that an accident would come. A lorry
was coming from the other side of the bridge. It was already on the bridge.
The driver of the small car, however, could not slowdown in time. He lost
control of the car which skidded and plunged into the river. Somehow, the
driver managed to slip out of the car. The others however were doomed.
When we arrived at the bridge, we were touched deeply by what we
saw. Two children were struggling in the river and we could do nothing to
save them. Their mother, as we came to know later, was at the bottom of the
river, trapped in the car. They were swept away by the rush of the present
and drowned. The driver, father of the children, began to cry piteously
because of the death of the wife and children. He had lost them so suddenly.
It was indeed a very touching scene that I shall never forget. I wish
every car driver drives their car carefully to avoid accident.
