Accident Essay

About three years ago on St. Patrick’s Day, a religious holiday very widely celebrated in United Sates, an incident happened with. To begin with, it was a nice bright day and I got free from school around 3 o’clock. I was driving so dropped my friend home and after that I was all by myself. I had to stop at the red light and while waiting for the signal to go green, I started browsing my cell phone. All of a sudden something very badly hit my car I got out of my car immediately and saw another car crashed into mine. The guy who crashed into my car also got off his car and apologized and said he was really sorry and that we can talk about all this at the side of the road. Therefore I got back into my car so that I could park at the side of the road. The other guy also got back into his car but instead of pulling off at the side he just speeded away. It all happened so fast that I couldn’t do anything, I was so shocked that I didn’t even note down his car’s number plate.
I just started crying while sitting in my car I just wanted to get home straightaway I didn’t want to stay here in the middle of the road all by myself I felt like I needed my family very badly at that moment. After a little while I calmed down and gathered myself and then called Mark, my host family. At that time he had gone to pick up her 10 years old daughter Kristy who is a special needs child. Mark called 911 for me and the police reached the incident location right away. The policeman asked me about how the guy looked like and asked me about his car’s number plate. But I told the police officer that I didn’t get a chance to note down the number plate as this all happened so fast. Officer apologized and told me that without the car’s number plate he couldn’t do anything for me and he left.
I felt so depressed and thought to myself that nothing can be done now. Suddenly, a car stopped over near my car and a nice lady got out. She came near me and said that I saw what happened here as my car was the one in front of you and I saw the guy speeding away so I instantly chased up his car and noted down his number plate for you. I felt like because of such nice and wonderful people world is still kind and beautiful to me. I did find that guy at the end and he did pay to get my car fixed. But since that incident, every year during the St. Patrick’s Day, I prefer not to drive instead walk from school with my friends as that incident is still a nightmare for me.
