CAR ACCIDENT
It was on Thursday when I left home,
going to a friend’s house, this was when school session was over for that day.
And I decided to go and see my friend who had just arrived from Lilongwe the
day before.
When I was on my way to my friend’s
home, which is a few kilometres from my home, I thought of taking a long route
so that I should also see somebody. Then I come into a road which leads to a
nearest town, this was the place where people run small businesses. At that
time the road seem not to busy I check both directions and there was no any car
that approaching, then I cross unfortunately before taking my last step off the
road, I felts something with shock.
It was in the afternoon around 4 and
5 o’clock, at that time people were moving in their numbers because some of
them were coming back from their working places Others were students who were
still coming from different schools and some were business men and women who
run their businesses around the area.
I was taken to the nearest
government hospital where doctors took me to an Emergency room and they carry
on an operation on my left leg of which at that time was bleeding, I felt much
pain on my leg. After some time the doctors finished the operation and put me
on a wheelchair and took me to a ward where I was given a bed.
They issued a report in which they
write the condition of my leg, they said the bones were just dislocated and
that it will be fine but I should be using walking stick, they also said that I
should be visiting the doctors after every three week for check up.
The car that run onto me was not in
good condition basing on reports that its break were not well functioning and
that it was overloaded with maize bag and cassava in addition that that the
driver was drunken.
That was how this accident occur on
this fateful Thursday in my life.
REPORT ABOUT THE ACCIDENT
It was Saturday morning when I was
going to the market then I bought my relish and when I was trying to cross the
road a car stunned and it gave me a light and I could not be able to see then
upon walking unknowingly I heard something coming to hit me.
At this time, I was thinking of
crossing very fast then a car hit me. I fell down with my leg broken but it was
not a serious injury, it was a closed fracture. When I felt down, I feel some
pain in my leg and I shouted for help.
At this time, it was in the morning
because I was buying relish for the day and my relatives were waiting then I
had to run fast.
The driver ran away he thought I had
a serious injury and as some people were passing by the helped me to get up and
took me to the hospital. The doctor said it was not a serious injury by it was
a fracture of close that was just a little bit cracked and they gave me a best
description on how I should take care of it to get better and gave me medicine.
The car that hit me was not so
scarce but its colour was blue. Its kind was a starlet and its seats would be
occupied by four people and its number plate was BQ 4269 with a small tyre in
front. Its appearance was so impressive and it was in high speed like it was
chased by something. The driver was a bald-headed man who wore a black shirts
and black specs. When he hit me he came and see if am okay when he head I was
screaming he ran away he went towards the north side of the area. The market
people were very frightened when they saw I was hit. In the car there were two
women at the back and two old men in front all of them were singing louder and
their lives looked like was filled with joy.
I will be happy if the people are
found because they looked like they were drunk and were smoking too.
ACCIDENT
I’m a girl of 16 years old, I am in
form 3 at Kings Victory Academy, I live at Chirimba.
It was on 15th of March
when I was going to school, I took Likhubula road, it is a busy road but I was
walking following the rules by walking on the left hand side, it all happened
when I was just passing Dovic hotel, I was only walking by the time.
The time was five minutes past 7
morning, they were students going to school everywhere, because this is the
time students like going to school.
I was walking slowly, behind me was
a little boy about 10 years, and two other girls, in flont [front] of us was
coming a car at over speed which was overtaking a mini-bus, without knowing
another car was in flont [front] of it, unfortunately the car turn to our
position and hit the four of us. The two girls were seriously injured. But the
boy died there, I jumped quickly but I didn’t make it. I broke a bone but had
no other serious injuries.
I can describe the car it went away
after the accident but still I can describe it, its number plate was RU 7295,
it was coloured blue and red, it was a hip-sum, it was not tinted, inside was
red chairs and a ball in flont [front], it went to Chirimba position.
CAR ACCIDENT
The accident occurs at the Robert
Mugabe’s road, where the driver was running away from a pedestrian. The
pedestrian was not following the procedures, while walking along the street.
When the accident was happening I
was constructing the road. the road was full of potholes. The government ask us
to fill the pothole, so that accident can be few. The Robert Mugabe’s road is
the road which is not in a good condition, as the result the people’s with
their vehicle’s were failing to use the road because of its bad condition.
The accident occurs in the morning
and it was about 7:30. Duling [during] this time the road was used by many
vehicles. Because most of people were running from schools with their children,
and others were going to their works. In the morning the Robert Mugabe’s road
is the busiest road.
Because the one car bounce of out of
it posion [position], the vehicle immediately run and broke my leg. This time
it takes some hour for me to be survive because I was found under the car
that’s why it was difficult for the people to take me out under the car. When
they try to take me out, they were pushing me, as a resut the injury was
increased And I had a dislocation of a joint on my leg.
The car that was involved in this
kind of accident it was a Pajelo and it was in read in colour. but during the
accident its number blate [plate] bloke [broke] out and the car also have lot
of clashes [scratches] on its paint. Its number blate in flont [front] is
indicated on the big mirror glas in front because during the accident it break.
And its number is BT 3231 written Black in colour and in BLOCK letters.
TO THE POLICE
On behalf of all staff or members of
the police I write a report about the accident which occured along Zalewa road.
It was on the morning when I was going to school on that day, I was with my
friends going to school but when I was crossing the road I saw the bus on a
higher speed and he hit me. On that way all my friends they both run way
because they were the one that saw it. On that time we were going to school,
Our school is along the road that is also the problem, but the head of that
school has already go to the road council to tell them to put the zebra
crossing but they didn’t do it. That’s another problem that causes more
accident. On that day it was Monday morning when I was going to school. on the
accident I was shocked because I didn’t know what was doing, and when people
see that they call the ambulance and immediately they come and took me to the
hospital on that time the whole body of me was filled with blood everywhere
though all the school uniform that I wear was looking like were red cloth
because of blood that was on that. When we go there, I mean to the hospital the
doctors say that I have a very big serious injury that I receive on that
accident but the big one is on my legs. Because on the first the car was hited
me on the legs cause of that time I was even failing to walk though I hited by
a car I have also some problems that also caused me problems like I have a
problem of headache but when the accident occurred its like its more and more
not same like that caused me to not hear some people talking mean when they are
talking. But also the doctors says. Inside of my body my bone are broken that’s
another problem. On that the car was a Bus was going to Lilongwe but the driver
was a small man, we people we our companies we must or should take the old man
to be our concerns that is good because the old ones they should drive people
slowly and slowly but when we take small ones they drive on a higher speed in
order to go there fast that is not good and also they drived us when they drink
or smoke that is not good because we should loose so many people’s life on
that. That cause accident. Also but the car has all that is needed the car to
have when they are in the roads.

THE CAR ACCIDENTS
I would like to report on the car
accidents that occurred in Chipembere highway in Blantyre, The accidents
happens in the afternoon around five o’clock.
In the car there was twenty passengers,
these people they are came from Lilongwe
going to Limbe depot, when they reach in Dedza the driver overspeed and many
people try to ask them to reduce the
speed but the driver never listen about that, many were started crying.
When they reach in Chipembere
highway in Blantyre. It’s when the accidents takes place, many people were
injured but there is no people died. The accidents takes place in the afternoon
around five o’clock. Those people who injured are now in Queen Elizabeth
central hospitals in Blantyre.
When the car accidents happens, the
people call them the police in Blantyre. When the police received the message
they came immediately to search and to know what makes the accidents to occur.
They find out that the driver was drunk bear, and smoking chamba. So they took
the driver to the police station to discuss about that issue.
The police also found that the
driver was overloading many people. They allow to sit in the chair about five
people instead of three. That’s why that makes people to injured.
In addition, many people lose their
property, other people they went to Lilongwe to bought a lot of things for
their Business so when accidents happens they too last a lot of money, so they
ask Malawians to contribute money for transport in order to reach their homes.
Those people who injured now are getting well. We may thanks God for that
gracious life for that accidents to find that there was no other died people.
After all, the driver charged fifty
thousand kwacha or go for imprisonment, so the driver failed to pay that money
now the driver is in prison.
The police are now advising those
people who are driving minibus or any type of car. You need to take carefully
when you are driving you need to avoid smoking, drink bear, overloading,
overspeeding and any other problems you need to listen and follow the rules and
regulations on the Road Safety Council.
CAR ACCIDENT
It was 9 am when I found myself in Mulambe hospital after being hit by
the car at Chemusa super market. I didn’t know what happen and where am I until
I was told by my nephew who escort me to the market.
As the car was coming I did not know anything, at this time I was buying
airtel credits [phone cards] from one of the vendors who park themselves behind
the roads. To noticed a car which was at that of rate speed was quite
difficult because the market was experiencing great noisy condition from bars
which were located randomly.
I got wonder how could a car hit me like that hence the weather was
clear, in fact it wasn’t raining. Two, three question come in my mind but who
can tell me while I am alone.
I feel sorry for myself because the car broke my left side leg. It doesn’t
please me because I was expected to score much as I could because the team
depend on me. Even my coach was furious after receiving the bad news like this.
Indeed I was not happy for all this.
I couldn’t even manage to check the number plate of the car because at
that time I was only sobbing not necessary that I was feeling pain no but to
feel sorry for what my leg has just committed. I only look at the ugly back of
it [the car] and the colour, it was black in appearance ugly in ride though it sees like
it had more passengers that the normal car could afford to have. To look at the
car it was like it hits me again and again so I didn’t pay much attention on
that stupid car together with careless driver of it. To say the truth I hate
all of what happen at that occasion.
