An Accident (Model Essay)
“Oh no, I’m going to be late for the wedding dinner!” Thought Judy. She was in her early twenties, of average height, had fair skin and long black hair. Judy quickly rushed out of the shower, blew her hair hastily and after changing into a long, silver sparkling evening gown and putting on a diamond studded necklace, she sped out of the house and went downstairs to wait for a taxi. Luckily, she managed to flag a taxi just a couple of minutes later and was on her way to Shangri-La hotel for her best friend Jane’s wedding dinner.
In the taxi, Judy was putting on some last minute makeup when suddenly dark clouds loomed over the skies and rain looked imminent. Then a light drizzle started and soon raindrops as big as pebbles pelted down on the windscreen and the road. An occasional flash of lightning across the sky would light the sky up like a florescent lamp lighting up a room followed by the deafening roars of thunder. The taxi driver, a dashing young man in his mid-twenties, then slowed down the taxi and turned on the headlights for safety reasons. Suddenly, there was a deafening “BOOM” and the roof of the taxi caved inwards. Thrown to the floor of the taxi by the impact, Judy suffered some minor scratches against her elbows and knees but the taxi driver had been thrown forward causing his head to slam into the windscreen. His head was bleeding profusely and when Judy, who was afraid of blood, saw the fresh red blood, she let out a high-pitched, ear-piercing scream and then fainted.
Meanwhile, a few pedestrians who saw the tree falling on the taxi were rooted to the ground in shock.
A few minutes later, the police, firemen and paramedics arrived in police cars, fire trucks and ambulances. By that time, a crowd had gathered around the accident area and motorists who slowed down to take a look caused a traffic jam. Two of the firemen borrowed a crane from a nearby construction site to carry up the tree while another two sawed away at the roots to make the tree easier to lift.
Meanwhile, the other firemen used crowbars to pry open the taxi doors for the paramedics to carry Judy and the taxi driver out. The paramedics the carried them on a stretcher into the ambulance and rushed them to the hospital and immediately sent the taxi driver into the accident and emergency ward. At the same time, the policemen cordoned off the area and held back the curious crowd. In an hour, everything was back to normal – the traffic flowed smoothly and the crowd dispersed.
A couple of weeks later, Judy sent a basket of fruits and a get-well card to the taxi driver who almost recovered. They soon got to know each other better and later became good friends.
