A Ghastly Accident

Yesterday morning was just like any other mornings. In fact, the road heading to the school was not too congested I thought I would be able to reach school earlier. Who knows...

I was indulged in my storybook when everything happened just in a blink of eye. Out of the blue, my dad pressed hard on the brake and I fell a little forward, to the right as well. I thought that would already take me long to recover my composure and tidy myself, but I was definitely WRONG since another incident took me even long to do so.

At the juncture, there was an intense strength crushed into the back part of my car. I felt myself fall down even more, as if I was falling down into a hole with depth of infinity. The whole world seemed to be shaking vigorously, and the ambiance seemed to turn dim. I felt that everything was thrown to the front, including myself. Meanwhile, a loud harsh sound came from the back. Obviously something was breaking into billions of pieces. I thought it was the back windscreen which shattered. Luckily it wasn't.

Within seconds the car stopped shaking and I got up slowly. My head and my back were painful after being hit for several times. In dizziness, I found my car was in chaos as everything was thrown forward and down. When I looked out of the car, my dad was already busy making phone calls and trying to resolve the problem. Then, he hurriedly rush over to see if I was ok. He even rubbed the part where I told him was painful. I was touched, frankly...

Dad told me I couldn't get to school since our car was severely damaged. I kept reassuring my dad it's ok to miss a few lessons. Moreover, I was suffering from nausea since my internal organs were seemingly disorientated and upside down. Almost every part of my body ached and I was persistently engulfed by giddiness. Anyway, I just went to school when yee kee's mum offered me and another boy (who was involved in the accident as well and also studied in lok yuk) a lift. Thanks for her willingness and kindness... She parked her car at the opposite side of the road and had to cross the congested road to lead us to her car. She was really really absolutely kind and helpful.

Well, the whole accident is as follows: actually there were 5 cars involved, not 4 as what people assume. A Myvi stopped abruptly and the CRV at the back stopped too, without causing any accident. But the Nissan behind the CRV failed to stop on time and it crushed a little into the CRV. That was just a minor accident. My car was just behind the Nissan. Realising the car in front was involved in an accident, my dad braked instantaneously, and was ready to strive his car to another lane. Who knows, the Prado at the back was so near to my car it couldn't stop on time and crushed directly into our car. I supposed the woman hadn't applied the brake when it started crushing, for the strength was like a few oxen running and crushing into a man. Luckily there was a tyre at the back of our car, otherwise I think my dad's and my lives would be at risk. So innocently we were also involved in the already existing accident.

I heaved a sigh of relief as no one was injured in the accident. My dad and I were still suffering from pain at several body parts. Hope we can rehabilitate in a short time. I'm still mad with the woman driving the Prado... God bless, hope she'll never be driving at our back again! I have a phobia when passing the area now...
