Shocking Incident

Today, I had just arrived home from a very tiring badminton training. I fell exhausted as i flopped wearily on to my bed. Then, I received a call from one of my close friends. His reason for calling me sent a wave of shock that jolted my entire being. An accident had occurred! Within

moments, I learnt that Melvin, Yijun and Anjie had been involved in a car accident. Apparently, they at just came out of school and were about to cross a road. I do not know the whereabouts of the accident.

As they crossed the road, suddenly, a speeding pick-up truck came bearing down on them even though the green man light was on. The truck hit Anjie and Yijun and missed Melvin. Yijun suffered from abrasions while Anjie broke his collar bone and was admitted into hospital. I am truly and deeply appalled that such an incident would happen to my classmates. I really hope that they would recover as soon as possible.

Perhaps we should suggest to our principal to look into the danger of the roads that accidents had occurred, especially the road that leads to the bus-stop outside the condominium, Laguna Park. Maybe humps should be built along Marine Parade road to alert vehicles to slow down.
