Essay to road accident for 12 students
Answers
Road accidents are very common these day. Some people drive vehicles very rashly. Others drive them in a drunken state and cannot easily control them.
Yesterday, I was going along the GT Road on a bicycle. As the traffic was very fast, I decided to avoid the macadamized road. So, I went on the kutcha path along the road.
Suddenly, a truck came at full speed. A bus was coming from the opposite direction. The truck was not following the rules of the road. It simply rammed into the bus.
The driver of the bus was killed on the spot. A large number of passengers were seriously injured. Half of the bus was smashed. The same was the condition of the truck. The luggage which the truck was carrying, spread on the road.
It was later learnt that the truck driver was dead drunk. He was also seriously injured. He was taken to the local civil hospital by the police not only for treatment but also for alcohol test.
It was later learnt that the truck driver who had tried to run away, was fined heavily by the court. The injured passengers and the bus passengers who had died in the accident, had to be paid adequate compensation. However, no amount of compensation can ever bring back a life which is lost. The best remedy is to avoid accidents altogether. It is rightly said safety saves. All the necessary steps should be taken to check the alarming rise in the number of road accidents.
