Driving home tonight
Took a different route
Traffic slowing down
Almost to a stop
From a distance flashing lights
Slowly moving on
Getting closer to the lights
Fire trucks, ambulances's and police cars
Scattered along one side of the road
Firemen directing traffic
As I approached the wreckage
A red motor cycle lying on its side
Nearby the outline of two bodies
Blankets drapped over them from head to toe
I chocked with a horrible feeling inside
Tears rolled down my cheeks
As I began to pray
....this is so sad..here in Croatia the young kids all ahve scooters and I always fear for them..my boys had them when they were in their teens..than God it si over...great write,
So sad, I had an accident myself, quit
riding over it. I was lucky and not hurt
too bad. I've witnessed death on the
highway also. It's horrific. You've
captured the feelig.

The day after I was married, we witnessed a motorbike accident while driving to my parents to get my stuff. I'll never forget the doll like appearance as the body flipped in the air and the leg twisted in such an odd way. First omen the marriage was in trouble. Wonderful write for this type of cxperience.
Its so hard to pass such scenes. I remember working in the ER when I as doing my Nurses Practicum.. Motorcycle accidents are so hard to see.. not that any accident is easy.. but.. *sigh*

Yesterday, a guy on a motocycle pulled out in front of me without even looking. Almost hit him. I know the feelings of seeing dead folks on the road...Thanks for sharing.
