Surely Yes,thoe it wasn't that serious but I got some bruises on my leg.
I can still remember that day on Saturday 10 July 2023, it happens on my way back from an occasion with my cousin.
A drunk man was driving crazily on motorcycle at the road. We step aside for him to past, yet still his motorcycle was facing us , coming to our direction.
Since he was drunk he couldn't control the bike direction.
The bike was so close to us with speed, suddenly I found myself jumping so high in the bush beside the road. Omg! I had a big bruise on my knees because of the fall I had while jumping. Gush the bike man and the bike fell on the road. The man had a very big injury on his arm and head.
People rush in and took him to the hospital since my injury wasn't that serious the left us and my cousin on the way.

What was primary precautions you take right after getting road injury? |

I had to give myself some first-aid treatment. I pluged some bitter leaf from the bush and applied to my knees,to stop the blood from gushing out.
I was deeply hurt thoe ,the pains started building up and I couldn't walk well.
My cousin injury was a little bit saver than mine he just fell and got some light bruises on the elbow.
With the help of the bitter leaf I applied on the bruises,I tried to walk and I reach home with my cousin.
As I reach home I took my bath,and the pains was more than before.
I was served with food,and then took some medication (paracetamol & chloraphinamine). I later felt sleepy,I can remember I slept for about four good hours.
When I woke up I felt calm and my brain was cool ,I didn't felt much pain again. I got relief and and I was okay.
How much road accidents can be severe? |

Road accidents can be very serious. They can cause:
- Small injuries like cuts or bruises.
- Big injuries like broken bones.
- In some times, they can even be deadly.
Accident is not something anyone wish for or expect ,it's happens unexpectedly,and when it happens it hurt very bad.
But with us knowing very well that accident hurt , including road traffic accident we should all be careful on our daily life, so we can have long life on earth.

Right after a road injury, it’s important to:
Stay calm and check if you or another person else is hurt.
Call for help if needed, like an ambulance or police.
Move to a safe place if you can, away from traffic.Don’t move if you’re badly hurt or it’s not safe.
Road accidents can be very serious. They can cause:
Small injuries like cuts or bruises.
Big injuries like broken bones. At some times, they can even be deadly.
♦️So it is always good to drive car or motorcycle safely, wearing seatbelts, and following traffic rules to avoid accidents. If you’re hurt in an accident, getting help quickly is very important at that point.
