Almost all of the said friends ended up in the hospital, and two of those ended up in the mortuary part of the hospital.
So I urge all of you motorists(people using cars, motorcycles or bicycles or anything that propels you more than 20km/h over apshalt) to be careful. Very careful. Including myself, since I've recently joined you motorists with my very own car.
Most recently, my own boyfriend and his best friend were added to that number of people. He called me yesterday night with news that he and his best friend, Timmy had an accident. They were on a motorbike. ChekHauz, my boyfriend had a few minor scratches and a sprained waist. Timmy ended up with two days hospitalization and some metal screws in his foot.
After that call I got on my knees, face to the ground and thanked God that he was okay. That they were okay. Scratches, bruises and fractured foot notwithstanding. It could be worse.
I have heard of worse. Seen with my own eyes before, me the torn skin, ripped and pulverized flesh and broken bones from an accident. Blood streaming down, pooling. The contorted expressions of victims holding back cries of pain. Even worse, lifeless bodies, mangled and torn. Bodies that won't be waking up anymore.
Empty shells, needless death. The souls within absent, the bodies left to be mourned over by loved ones. What's left of those bodies, anyway.
The human body isn't made to withstand impacts at such high speeds.
I plead with you, whoever you are. Be careful on the road. Every one on the road runs a risk of hurting themselves or someone else.
I've thought about it before. On a crowded road, everyone traveling at 60km/h or more, you only need jerk the wheel to steer your car into someone's path. Chances are someone will get hurt or killed.
Failing to signal, use the rear view mirrors or even looking to the left or right or lack of consideration causes accidents. You do not hate your friends and family enough to want to hurt them by your own hurt or death.
So be careful.
