A TRAGIC ROAD ACCIDENT

Saheed Nagar. Bhubaneswar, 3rd June: It was a wet monsoon day yet there was heavy traffic on the roads. Vicky, a young smart boy, rode his bike to his friend’s house in the next lane. Vicky was very sincere, but that day he did not wear his helmet for the first time. To his bad luck, a truck coming from Acharya Vihar at a high speed hit his bike and he got a severe head injury and died on the spot. The police rushed to the spot and send the body to the hospital. This tragic road accident happened due to the high speed of the truck and the carelessness of the boy. If he wore a helmet, he would not have lost his life. So young children should be careful about the traffic rules while riding on the road. They should obey traffic rules like wearing helmets, and driving a considerable speed. avoid talking on mobiles ut listening to music etc.

Rajendra,
the reporter.
