It was just another lazy Sunday
morning, a designated REST DAY after my 32.35 km run the day before. Though my
legs still felt a bit stiff, I make it a point to hear mass before meeting my
family for our regular Sunday lunch.
As I was walking towards the church,
just 50 meters from the church door, a Toyota Rav 4 suddenly side swiped
me. The car hit my right arm, grazed my leg and then I felt the FRONT and
REAR tire go over my foot ! People around who witnessed the incident were
quite as shocked as I was and asked if I was ok. The car did not immediately
stop but only did so about fifteen meters away. I managed to catch up
with him along with a few security guards who also saw what happened
and approached the driver. The adrenaline rush I felt got the better
of me and I somewhat managed to say a few choice words to the young driver and
when the security asked for his license, I think he got scared and just sped
away. They got his license plate and the incident was immediately
reported to the village security office.
Eventually the young driver did turn
himself in at the security office and I was able to speak to him over the
phone. Apologies were made, lectures given and the issue was resolved. Case
closed.
