I saw anasty accident whilst walking my daughtr to school this morning and now I can't get the image out of my head. We were walking along quite a busy road and there was a lady walking just in font of us. For some reason she stopped and either stepped or fell in the road right in front of a car. The car hit her and she gave a piercing screech. She was lying in the road quite near to us. A lady got out of the car and went to help and a couple came out of a house to help. My daughter was starting to really panic, so I quickly got my children away from the accident and went down a little side road away from the main road. My daughter was really upset and I could feel myself shaking, though I hid it well from my children. I explained to my daughter's teacher and her teacher said she would keep an eye on my daughter. I offered to take my daughter home again, but the teacher said school would probably keep her mind of it.
I feel guilty for not helping the lady, but there was nothing I could do and my daughter was really upset so it was better to get her away from the accident. I had to walk back home along the same road as it is the only way to my house. I walked on the otherside of the road though. The ambulance and police were there as well as a crowd of people.
It is 2 hours later now but I am still shaking. I just can't get the image out of my head of the poor lady . It was awful.I hope she is alright.I also hope my daughter is not too upset now. I felt terrible leaving her at school, but at least she has all her friends to keep her busy and help her forget.
