An Accident

Last Friday, my 4 classmates and I decided to have dinner at Jo's Inato in Quirino after studying for a number of hours in the library.

Our discussion ranged from kikiks to love life. When we were almost finished, we heard something like a slam! Then, there was a shout somewhere.

I was the last one who got up from the table. My classmate, Rex, quickly went down before I could see the whole scene.

There it was, a multi-cab which turned over. A number of guys were trying to lift it up. Somebody got out of the multi-cab. The guys were able to lift it. The driver came out apparently with injuries. Just beside the multi-cab was a lifeless woman. All I could do was look and pray, hoping that the girl was alright.

I was thinking why not one vehicle stopped to help out. They just passed by. There were a couple of people hovering around the victim. I was hoping that they were assessing the situation if they could really move the body without adding more injury. Good thing that a mobile patrol came along. Someone carried the body and off they went.

Looking at the situation, I was guessing that the driver moved fast. I heard that the multi-cab ran over the girl.

My classmate came back. He helped out in lifting the multi-cab. He called 911. I do hope that he was not the only one who called 911.

I do not know what happened to the girl. I did not see it in the news the next day. I do hope that she is doing fine wherever she is. I do pray for her family and friends. I also pray for the driver, reckless as he might be. I do pray for the other who helped and those who were given the opportunity to help.

The accident made me think over some stuff.

1. I am grateful that we have 911, of which the call is free of charge (walang bawas sa load ng classmate ko).

2. I am thinking of buying a new battery for 3210. I could not make nor receive calls because the battery is defective. With a new battery, my phone would have a better purpose.

3. I am hoping that I could think faster and wiser in times like that.

4. I am thinking of the skills I have which could save a life.

5. I am wishing that I could be a super hero.
