hit and run

i was riding down sunset way near maju camp to meet Y for kopi near his place last night, when an accident occurred in front of me. 2 girls were lying on the road with their bike on it's side in the centre of the road. i pulled over to help them.

the pillon was lying on her side in pain while the biker was comforting her. with a few other people who pulled over, we helped them into a more comfortable position. i talked to the rider a bit and found out that it was a car that had bullied and cut into their lane, pushing the bike over and causing it to skid and crash. the fucker then sped away leaving the 2 girls bleeding and lying on the road. may that fucking driver burn in hell forever(yes, i am extremely angry over this).

still, it was heartening to see so many people stay to provide assistance. it could have been a damn good racial unity propaganda ad. a chinese man with his wife and toddler in tow, pulled over and called an ambulance and TP. a fellow malay biker who had pulled over, proceeded to direct traffic with me. an indian woman who was on a bus, got off, promptly informed us she was a nurse and helped the girls. a few cars, and quite a number of bikes pulled over and asked if there was anything they could do to help. maybe it's just me but you can always count on a fellow biker to help you out. reminded me of my first accident where there was a horde of bikers who pulled me to the side and help direct traffic away.

after the pillon rider was stretchered away, the paramedics tried to help the biker to the ambulance but she couldn't stand at all. that's when it struck me, in a bike accident, there's no way the biker and pillon can fly off in the same direction upon impact. the biker had dragged herself, bleeding, in obvious pain and all, over to the pillon rider to comfort her.

i hope those two girls get well soon.
and may the driver suffer for what he/she has done.

horribly.

and in extreme pain.
