ESSAY WRITING

It was a breezy Saturday morning. I was taking a walk to make a stop at my favourite
Mr Raju’s ‘nasi lemak’ stall before heading to an extra class. I was in a cloud nine after
receiving my food to fuel the day. As I was getting my change, the sound of a loud brake
screeching and a bang were vibrating through the air. I almost dropped my change from the
astonishment. There was an accident happened just a few meters away from the stall!

Within minutes, onlookers were already crowding the place of the event. I also
joined to witness the unfortunate scene. I saw a guy in his brand new car took a huge hit on
the back of a school bus. Mr Raju quickly made a call to the authorities while the other guys
were trying to rescue the unconscious man in the car. Due to the terrible crumple of the
black Sedan, they were not able to take him out. People were getting scared as the smoke of
the car was getting thicker and thicker. We were warned to stand afar.

Luckily, the firefighters arrived along with the ambulance. As fast as lightning, the
heroic firemen used multiple tools to get the poor guy out and quickly put him on a
stretcher. He was then sent to the hospital. Policemen also arrived to secure and jot details
of the scene. Investigations were done and it turns out, the guy was unconscious due to non
stop working at night. He rushed home to see his family yet he couldn’t make it. Thankfully
he is now safe and sound in the hospital and there were no one in the school bus except the
driver since it was a Saturday! The driver was also fine and the bus was able to claim the
insurance. After awhile, the crowds dispersed and I continued my journey to my extra class
feeling a bit gloomy.

Accidents like this could be avoided if we take safety precautions seriously. Drivers
should not be driving if they feel like their eyes are as heavy as a stone. They should take a
rest at the nearest stop before hitting the road again. With this, accidents will not happen
and everyone will reach their destination unharmed.
