I witnessed a serious accident that happened yesterday at Uttara. . I was going to school at 10 a.m. A little girl was crossing the road near our school. A truck was coming at full speed. The driver of the bus tried his best to control the speed but failed. In the twinkling of an eye, the truck knocked her down and ran away. The girl was changed into a lump of flesh. Fresh blood was flowing on the street. You cannot imagine how tragic the scene was! It was quite unbearable to me. I could not but shed tears. Passer-by raised a hue and cry and came to the spot. I also ran there. I cannot forget that terrible accident. In road accidents, many live are nipped in the bud. Many a family losses the only earning member. Many people become crippled. The street accident makes our children orphans. Many wives become widows. So street accident is like a curse in our life. Necessary steps should be taken to prevent street accidents.
