This morning as I was driving to work, I got into a traffic jam as usual and I was wondering what the cause might be this time.

As I neared the core of the reason, the ambulance was just leaving the scene and I was thinking that the drivers might be hurt so bad that and ambulance was needed to rush them to the nearest hospital, and luckily there was one very close by.

I did not realize how bad the accident was until I was right next to it. The policemen were doing their best to clear the scene and move the traffic. I had taken my camera out hoping to be able to capture the scene as I neared it and was able to take one single shot from the side.

As you can see from the picture, the mini bus has climbed over the separating street island and smashed in the electric post, so practically half the car was on the other side of the street which caused another car coming from the opposite direction to smash in the minibus from the front.

The shattered glass was allover the street and I could hear it under the tires of my own vehicle which caused a shiver to run through my body.

I do not know how badly the drivers were hurt or worse if one or both of them has died (God forbid), but I could almost smell it in the air.

This got me really thinking; when we are speeding up, and yes, I do that more often than not, so when we do that; are we rushing to reach a certain destination or rushing to face a more drastic action of fate? I mean; what is the worst that can happen if we are a few minutes late? Whatever happened to “Better Late than Never”? Why do we neglect the call of common sense that emerges from within us when it comes to the competitive nature of our souls?

I really felt so sad to have witnessed such an awful accident this morning and I hope to God that these poor drivers were not severely hurt.
