In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Beneficent
A Street Accident
Street accident can cause massive damage and injure
somebody seriously. Sometimes it snatches away somebody from us forever. I
think most often accidents occur for careless driving, brake failure of
vehicles, overtaking of one vehicle by another, driving by unskilled and
untrained so-called drivers. Over loading of vehicles and violation of traffic
rules are other reasons. Almost everyday we find the news of many road
accidents in newspapers. Last month I witnessed an awful street accident before
my eyes. At that time I was very close to the spot of the accident. A young
girl was crossing the busy road near the New Market and just at that time a bus
was coming at a great speed. The ill-fated girl noticed it but before she could
go to the other side of the road, she was run over by the bus. The girl was
immediately rushed to the Dhaka Medical College Hospital. There, the doctors
declared her dead. It was the first accident I have ever experienced in my
life. So, I was greatly shocked at this tragic scene. I could not sleep at all
that night. Still the memory haunts me. I think public awareness, following
traffic rules, well-planned roads and concerted efforts of government along
with concerned organizations can minimize the street accident. Moreover,
drivers should be well-trained and make them conscious of driving safely.
