A horrible accident I experienced (1st part)
The accident occurred when I was a senior in high school. One day I rode home on the sidewalk after school. After a few minutes’ riding, I saw a truck about 20 meters ahead moving in my direction. The truck, which was used to transport stone, had huge wheels. The truck did not raise my curiosity because there was a construction site about 10 meters away from the sidewalk and the sidewalk was wide enough for a truck to travel on. As we both moved slowly and there was quite a long distance between us, I did not pay attention to the truck. But when I was only a few meters away from the truck, I suddenly found that it showed no sign of slowing down or changing direction. Before I changed my direction to avoid the truck, I was knocked down by it. Even at that moment I still thought it would stop right away. Unexpectedly the truck kept moving forward, and soon I was under the truck. One of those huge wheels was pressing on the right back side of my head and my left cheek was facing the ground. The truck was still moving and made my body move with it. Fortunately the wheel did not run over my head. It just made my head rubbing on the ground. Not until the truck hit the fence did it stop.
