Report of the accident on Jalan 2/14

On 7th September 2011 at 10.30 a.m., I was walking alone Jalan 2/14 which is next to the
children’s playground. As I was about to cross the road to enter the park, I saw a car driving swiftly down
Jalan 4/14. It was a Honda Civic with the number plate BEH 9110. Another car, a Toyota Vios 1.5 with
plate number WHM 4657 came out of Jalan 4/14 as well. The Honda Civic was driving too fast that make
it did not have time to avoid collision.

The accident caused a loud crash. The Honda Civic hit the Toyota Vios on the driver’s door. The
door could not be opened and the driver had to get out from the passenger’s door. The driver of the
Toyota Vios was lucky as he survived with no physical injuries. Both air bags popped up when they
collided to each other. They both were fortunate as their car was not badly damaged and dented.
The Toyota Vios’s windscreen was shattered to pieces. The Honda Civic’s headlight and signal light were
smashed. There was plenty of glass on the road. The two drivers startled to argue. The driver of the
Honda City was a woman. They blamed each other and the argument stopped when her mobile phone
rang. Most of the passerby slowed down their vehicle to watch the accident. Some pedestrian came by
and offered help.

As it happened, I ran into my house which is close by. I called the nearest police station and in ten
minutes, a police car drove up. I told the police officer I had witnessed the accident and offered to come
out to the station to give a statement. The cars were towed to the side of the road first, and then were
brought to the police station before to workshop. Pictures were taken for insurance claim.
In my opinion, the driver of the Honda City is to blame for the accident. She was driving too fast and did
not pay any attention to vehicles coming out from the side road. The driver of the Toyota Vios should
have stopped at the junction.
