Introduction. Accidents of Tongas and cycles are very common. We read of them every day. They are more common in big cities than in small towns.

The occasion and cause of accident. I saw a bus-accident yesterday. It took place in the open. I was going to Agra. The bus left Shekohabad and readied near the canal bridge. The road rises very high at the bridge from both the sides. Unfortunately a car was coming from the opposite direction. Both the drivers forgot to blow the horns, since they did not see anything ahead. The car being new made no sound. As our reached the bridge the car came up

Suddenly. The driver of our bus became nervous. He lost his presence of mind. He tried to put the brakes but there was no time. So he gave a sudden turn to the wheels.

Description of accident.  Unluckily the road was not very broad at the bridge. The canal was deep on both sides. The result was that the driver could not control the bus. It slipped down from the road and fell into the canal below. All efforts of the driver to stop it failed. Fortunately, the water in the canal was not deep. The bus was damaged.

Deaths and ujuries. But the damage to the bus was not an important thing if we compared it to the loss o the lives of the people in the bus. There were about 50 persons in the bus -40 men, 6 women and 4 children. As the bus turned to the left, every one of us gave out a loud cry. But all was over in a few seconds. We were hurt and made Wet with the water o; the canal. Four or the passengers died then and there their skulls were broken and they died of the; shock. None of us was injured seriously- Seven received small scratches and injuries on different parts of the body one woman. Two men and escaped by the grace of God without much hurl. I thanked God.

Medical aid. The car was stopped. Inside the car was a retired Government officer. He was very sorry for the poor passenger’, He gladly took I he seriously wounded passengers in his car and send them to the hospital where they received medical aid. The doctors gave them me Diem us and bandaged the" wounds. Two of them died soon after.

Conclusion. The police had little to do in matter. Since the driver had died. The most wonderful thing was the escape of the child.  Strange are the ways   No one can harm him whom God saves.
