This morning as I was driving to
work, I got into a traffic jam as usual and I was wondering what the cause
might be this time.
As I neared the core of the reason,
the ambulance was just leaving the scene and I was thinking that the drivers
might be hurt so bad that and ambulance was needed to rush them to the nearest
hospital, and luckily there was one very close by.
I did not realize how bad the
accident was until I was right next to it. The policemen were doing their best
to clear the scene and move the traffic. I had taken my camera out hoping to be
able to capture the scene as I neared it and was able to take one single shot
from the side.

As you can see from the picture, the
mini bus has climbed over the separating street island and smashed in the electric post, so practically half the
car was on the other side of the street which caused another car coming from
the opposite direction to smash in the minibus from the front.
The shattered
glass was allover the street and I could hear it under the tires of my own
vehicle which caused a shiver to run through my body.
I do not know
how badly the drivers were hurt or worse if one or both of them has died (God
forbid), but I could almost smell it in the air.
This got me
really thinking; when we are speeding up, and yes, I do that more often than
not, so when we do that; are we rushing to reach a certain destination or
rushing to face a more drastic action of fate? I mean; what is the worst that
can happen if we are a few minutes late? Whatever happened to "Better Late
than Never"? Why do we neglect the call of common sense that emerges from
within us when it comes to the competitive nature of our souls?
I really felt
so sad to have witnessed such an awful accident this morning and I hope to God
that these poor drivers were not severely hurt.
