A hit-and-run accident

It was the school holidays ! For many youngsters it was a time for fun and games.
In one particular housing estate, the children enjoyed riding their bicycles around the area. The
housing estate in which they lived in was relatively quiet and it was quite safe to ride their
bicycles on the road, but as young boys go, they can tend to get a bit reckless sometimes, too
reckless for their own good.
The residents of the area were usually careful when they drove their cars. Even so there were
several near misses as the drivers had to avoid the reckless young children on their bicycles. The
children had no knowledge of traffic rules and they did pretty much as they pleased. Their
parents never educated them about road safety. In effect, the young cyclists were just accidents
waiting to happen. It was just a mater of time before something tragic happened.
One evening as a group of five children was tearing down a road on their bicycles, a van
suddenly shot out of a side road right in their path. The driver was obviously a stranger to the
area and did not see the danger until it was too late. He braked hard and swerved his van in an
attempt to avoid hitting the young cyclists. Tried as he did, he could not avoid hitting the leading
cyclist. The front end of the van collided with the young cyclist with a sickening crunch. The boy
was flung onto the road.
The van stopped and the driver opened the door, but he did not get out. Instead he closed the
door, reversed his van from the fallen boy and the wrecked bicycle, engaged a forward gear and
sped off. He did not want to hang around to deal with the angry residents knowing full well that
he might be bashed up or perhaps even killed.
It was just as well that he fled for soon the residents ran out of their houses and onto the scene of
the accident. the boy was still alive. One of the men lifted him up, put him into a neighbor's car
and took him to the hospital.
For more than an hour after the accident the angry residents milled around the area uttering
curses. However nobody had noted down the number of the van. All they knew was that it was
driven by a young man, nothing more. To this day the identity of the hit-and-run van is
unknown. The accident victim is alive butwalks with a limp. Although the incident was not a

pleasant one, it at least has a positive effect. The young cyclists do not ride recklessly around
anymore. Their parents do not want a repeat of the accident.
