Yes, I witnessed a road accident today. It happened just when I was getting on a bus, I was about to get in when I heard a big BOOM. I looked quickly around me, to notice a car’s(a Honda I think) back completely smashed. For an instant, I thought that another car had hit it from behind.
It wasn’t any car, in fact, it was a motorcyclist. At that moment, I could see the motorcyclist with his helmet on his head sliding on the road on his arms. I can’t imagine how hard the impact must have been for a motorcycle to completely smash the back of a car. People started rushing to help and stop traffic. At the same time, the two passengers in the car got down and ran towards the man on the road.
I think what actually happened is that the car was changing lanes right in front of the bus and the motorcyclist who was coming at full speed didn’t see it and was not able to avoid it.
People in the bus got panicky. The good thing is that so many people won’t hesitate to jump out of the bus to help. They put the motorcyclist in an upright position, while waiting for an ambulance, I think. Then, about 10 minutes later, they manage to make way to let the bus and the vehicles go. I left in the bus, the man was still on the road then, probably some broken bones but it didn’t look too serious(I don’t know!).
It was a shocking experience today for me, especially when it happen a few metres from me.
