A terrible Roadside Accident

The other day I witnessed an accident on the Lahore-Sargodha road. It was a very sad spectacle. The road at the spot was littered with broken glass, and bits of the muddy sideway nullah. There were little pools of blood with bricks around them. A horse lay dead right in the middle. A tonga frame nearby was just like a heap of broken painted wood.

A head-on collision between a bus and a truck had taken place. A truck was coming from Sargodha. The driver was driving the truck at full speed. When he reached the crossing, the traffic light turned red. The driver ignored the red signal, and the truck struck a bus coming from the opposite side. It was a terrible accident.

The terrible collision had its impact on nearby Tonga. Two persons were killed on the spot and five others sustained serious injuries. The bus lay on one side with its heavy wheels raised high in the air. The police arrived and took measurements and recorded statements.
