A minor hit-and-run accident occurred in front of IMM today.
Nobody was hurt. The car was waiting to turn right and out of the
premises of IMM. It was obvious that a lorry was coming along the
main road. But somehow, the car just drove right into the lorry and
collided. The lorry probably only suffered minor damages, but the
car’s plate flew right out with its front bumper dented. It was
obvious that the car driver was in the wrong as he came blindly
out. As the lorry driver was about to get out of the lorry, the car
sped off ! The lorry driver was speechless
momentarily. But all is not lost, the car driver had forgotten he
left a piece of important evidence – his dislodged car-number-plate
was left on the scene. A motorcyclist who witnessed the accident
immediately exclaimed, “Pick up his number plate
! “ and stopped by the lorry driver-- probably acting as his
witness.
One is a dumb coward who ran off, and one is
public-spirited chap.
On reflection, I should have left my contacts
with the lorry driver too to act as a supplementary witness, if
required.
