Together, Jim and Su Leong rode on the motorcycle while my other frff iends

and I trudged back home. Being listless and lethargic aftff er the game, Su Leong
decided to test the speed of the motorcycle. Without hesitation, he accelerated and

zoomed ppast us in no time. Jim was horrififf ed. He pleaded Su Leong to slow down
but his plea feff ll on deaf ears.

It was at this moment that we noticed something that made our blood runn

cold. Some dogs dashed across the road without warning. Su Leong was caught
offff guard. He tried to brake but it was too late. The sudden appearance of the dog
caused him to lose his balance and crash onto a lamp post. A shrill scream pierced

through the air. Jim and Su Leong lay motionless on the ground aftff er that. My

fr f f iends and I wasted no time in contacting an ambulance and the boys’ parents.

A feff w moments later, they arrived. The paramedics rushed the boys to the

hospital with their parents’ cars tailing the ambulance. Aftff er the commotion had
died down, we continued our journey back home. It was undeniably the most

terrifyff ing motorcycle accident I have ever witnessed in my eenntire lifeff . I hope that
Su Leong had learnt his lesson and would be more carefuff l while driving in the

fu f f ture. I also hope that he and poor Jim will recover soon frff om the accident.
