Honey Bee and Toyota Car Spiral
Descriptive essay:
The worst accident I have ever seen
On 12 July 2009 I witnessed a horrific car accident that I bet was the worst that ever occurred in Nelspruit. The day started normally. I was going to school, and ordinary men and women were commuting to their work place. The sun was at its brightest and everyone in the car was cheery. Traffic was not too bad either; it was in the right pace, not too slow and not too fast. I remember listening to the morning news on Five FM, the news reporter said: “Traffic in Southern Africa has been going just great for the past week,” Now when I look back, I cannot fathom how ironic that situation was. “No new surprises.” She then added
On that particular day, instead of having a tiny chat with my sister, or a silly fight with my little brother, I was starring outside the car window, when suddenly I saw a black Toyota car spiral out of control, all I could hear was screeches and gasps! Mum quickly stopped her car; it was too dangerous to be driving in the middle of an accident. I saw a white female fiddle for her cell phone (I guess perhaps she was dialing the paramedics or something). I watched in awe as I saw the car flip upside down while a small figure then flew out of the car along with a broken car door! The worst part of this whole scenario was the fact that the passenger who flew out died within a matter of seconds after the whole tragedy. Bystanders crowded the dead body immediately, like a swarm of honey bees. Minutes later, people were not thinking of the late meeting they were heading to, or the petrol that they were shamelessly wasting. No, instead they were thinking of what could have caused this tragic accident. With a huge sigh of relief, the paramedics finally arrived and done what I believe would be their normal procedure. The cops were there too. They scouted the scene for any unusual evidence that they could find from the accident. I left the scene…

    My mum was crying. She was trying to get to the car, but no one would let her. It seemed like forever, but finally they got Ryan and two other boys out of the car and rushed them to the hospital. Mum and I followed close behind. We finally reached the hospital, but no one would help us, or tell us what was going on. Finally the doctor, who treated Ryan came and talked to mum. She was crying. She came and told me that Ryan was in a coma, and that the other two boys where seriously injured. We sat waiting for hours. The doctor came out again, to tell us that one of the other boys in the car had died, due to serious head injuries. I couldn't believe it. Ryan had always been a great driver, and he loved his car. He would often take me driving when mum was out. Mum sat crying for hours. I just sat there, thinking about everything. Ryan had so much going for him. He did well in his exams, he had a great car, great friends and now, it would all be ruined. We still didn't know what exactly had happened. The police came to talk to us. It made mum even more upset, because they where telling her that it was Ryan who was driving the car at the time of the accident. I had looked up to Ryan for all these years, and this was…

    After reading the article where the four year old boy was fatally hit by a car in the middle of the night my heart ached. I immediately put myself in the place of the driver. When prompted to think about which 5 people in my opinion will be most affected by this incident I look at the driver, the grandparents, the sister, and the parents of the children and anyone who witnessed the crash. As I previously mentioned before I automatically placed myself as being the driver. To take the life of someone, especially a child must be devastating. In the shoes of the grandparents I would be hurt. Constantly wondering if the doors were locked, and dreading telling my child that her baby is dead. I would imagine that they feel responsible. Turning to the sister I believe that she would be devastated from that point on out needing counseling and a lot of love. The parents may be angry at the grandparents at first, angry with the other child and even the driver. They will forever mourn the loss of their child. Lastly being a witness to any type of tragic event is devastating. The witnesses may be called in court and asked to remember specific details and sometimes witnesses get the details wrong because the event was so devastating. I can imagine that any witnesses with children went home and hugged them all a little tighter.…

    In Poland, among 1,000 inhabitants, there are 383 vehicles. For the inhabitants, they benefit from the convenience with vehicles. If they want to go to shopping centre, there is no need for them to go on foot. As a result, time and energy are saved. However, in this case, the social benefits are far less than the private benefits. Poland experiences 49,500 road crashes per year. Current statistics show an average of 5,582 persons killed and 63,000 persons injured year. That translates to roughly 15 persons killed per 100,000 inhabitants (11 persons killed per 100 road crashes). It means that when vehicle owners use road, they impose higher accidents risks on all other users. As the figures show, the inhabitants without vehicles are less than those with. Even though they do not use vehicles, they are still in danger.…

    As a young girl, I experienced what at the time I thought was the end of the world. Yes, I was a little bit of a drama queen. At the age of eleven, and on my way to a ballet recital a woman who was careless pulled under an awning in a non-parking zone in front of The Girls Club. I was running to catch up with my group. I looked left and right and proceeded to walk under the awing to the parking lot across from the building. From the corner of my eye’s I saw a white car pull up in front of me very fast. The momentum of the car pulling up that close almost made me roller over the hood. I put both my hands on the car, and pushed my self away. Stepping back on my right foot, my left foot caught under the tire. I screamed in pain, and yelled at the women to move her car.…

    Heading towards a Hockey game one Saturday afternoon, my friends and I decided to take the fastest route to beat rush hour. My good friend Anna was driving her luxurious Lexus and I was seating on the passenger seat. While my friends, Emily and Dakota were in the back seat. We were listening and singing along to the popular song by Justin Bieber “Sorry”. Anna was using the GPS on her smart phone and at the same time, she decided to snapchat the moment. She was recording the sing-along while driving 65 M/Hr down six avenue. Suddenly, a big GMC truck rushes from the emerging lane and cuts right in front of us, Anna’s phone flew towards the windshield and she completely lost control of the steering wheel. For a second, I thought we were going…

    I went out to my truck to go to the auto garage. When I was driving I turned around a corner, I was going minding my own business. There was an R.V. on my side of the road. They were going 90 miles per hour. They started to swerve and so did I. I hit the brakes and swerved even worse. I was siting in the way, so I hit the gas to get out of the way. I headed toward the camper but I didn't turn fast enough, so we crashed. The last thing I saw was two adults and a kid.…

    It's July 27, 2011. My uncle had just left our house, we, (my mother, father, and siblings), were soon to follow. We were all headed to my grandmothers house. We all piled up into my dad's new Ford. We had just passed BJ's as I felt a tightening in my stomach, almost as if something dreadful were about to happen. Sure enough we rounded the corner and there were five or six pedestrian cars and two police vehicles. We slowed down and pulled to the corner of the road. I could not yet see the wreck, and I assume my father couldn't either because he repositioned the truck closer. Perhaps my uncle was involved in a wreck. Dad slams his fist on the steering wheel, "Dammit Justin!" he yells. My mom looks shocked. I don't see why he is acting this way, it seems to be only a small wreck. I see a small yellow car parked close to a tree. Well, that doesn't make much sense. I don't see Justin's car though. Maybe that's why Dad is angry, Justin must've left the scene of the accident. Then I realize that Justin's car is the one parked by the tree, though it wasn't parked but wrecked. I didn't recognize it because of the shape the once nice vehicle was in. She rubs my fathers arm and says, "Maybe he's okay.". It doesn't look okay to me at all and I imagine that the expression on my face as I look at my mother mirrors my thoughts. It's so wrong of her to give us all false hope, as if anyone would be alive after that. I look out the window, I see his yellow sports car crammed against the tree. The once beautiful body of the vehicle is now no longer than the length of my leg. I fight to keep my heartbeat down. I feel the unfamiliar sensation of tears forming in my eyes as I look at the disaster before me. I mindlessly wonder how they will retrieve his body from the wreckage. I zone back into the atmosphere of the truck. It appears my father has exited the truck, leaving the driver door agape. My mother too is outside the vehicle, she seems to be comforting my…

    On the way home, everything was fine. The radio was playing, and I was singing along with it in my head. Ryan who was sitting in the passenger seat was opening a 2 liter of soda that I had recently bought, and was struggling to get it open. I took my eyes off of the road for a second to watch him. At that moment I heard a horn coming from another car. I looked up and saw a green car in front of me that I was about to hit. There…

    As the car got a bit near, it seemed to be an injured man. As fast as a jaguar, the car had lost its control. Mom couldn’t apply brakes. It looked as if an accident is going to take place. The car stopped making a dreadful noise. We looked back there was no one. Mom got off the car. Looked around. What was it? Was it a zombie? Or really a man? We were truly scared. My heart was beating like anything. We reached home-safe and sound. What happened that night nobody knows. We didn’t share this incident with anyone. It was forgotten and considered only a rainy…

    I was walking along the road with my dog by my side, when all of a sudden he darted off across the road, and round the corner. I started shouting at the top of my voice, “BORIS, COME HERE!” To my amazement a black Labrador came strolling round the corner. As Boris started strolling across the road, a black car came round the bend. All I saw was Boris being pushed over, and the car rolling over him. Through the streaming tears in my eyes, I saw a figure walking out of the car, and bend down to look under. I could not watch, I covered my eyes, the only noise I could hear was my screaming, and uncontrolled breath. Then I heard the car drive past me and full speed. I was horrified that the person hadn’t said anything to me, not even sorry. I eventually pulled myself together, and walked over to where I last saw Boris. There was no mark, no blood, not even a dog. Then I saw in very small writing, a mobile number scratched into the concrete, obviously done with a stone. The recent rainfall hadn’t washed it away, meaning it must be from the person in the car, who killed my dog.…

    One night, I planned to visit my friend who lived on Venice beach. His place was about 15 minutes drive from my apartment. It was around 9 P.M. and there weren’t so many cars on the street. Since there was only me and the other car I front of me. I decided to drive faster without knowing what was going to happen. Suddenly, the car turned around at the front of my car. I didn’t know what was on the driver’s mind. It was happening so fast that I almost stop breathing at the moment. I hit the car very hard until the security air bag exploded to safe me from hitting the steering wheel. When I had recalled my consciousness, I thought to myself “I had to get out of here before it explodes!” Then, I…

    The cold numb feeling was freezing every part of me as I sat quietly inside the car that was twirling in the middle of the highway. Sitting there and patiently waiting for the airbag to explode and cover me as if it was my moms arms took some fear out of me but my body still shivered as if there would be no tomorrow. Even though its been almost four years, I can still recall that day as clear as crystal, yet most of me wished it would just turn into thin air and disappear. As I sit still today, I think of what would have happened to me if I had lost a loved one in that incident. That night made me realize about two important concepts in life. First, to respect what we have and make the best of our time because we never know when life can take it all away and second, to respect nature because when nature prevails itself, it can either kill us or save us.…

    Some time elapsed because when I opened my eyes, I found myself staring into the concerned eyes of a stranger. I also found myself lying on the concrete floor of the car park and about 5 metres away from the car. At the time, I did not know that he was a paramedic. I tried to sit up and noticed the maroon car at the top of the slope. Everything came rushing back to me. I asked the man if the driver was all right. I was overwhelmed by a sense of dread when he told me that the elderly driver was so shocked when he saw me that he had a heart attack at the wheel.…
