Lebih pelik lagi, longkang ini terletak bersebelahan jalan kecil di sebuah kawasan perumahan di Ampang... Jalan besar iaitu Jalan Ampang terletak di sebalik penghadang dan para pemerhati serta hadirin di dalam gambar.
Daripada segi logik akal, mungkin kita senang menerima kemalangan ini jika longkang itu terletak terus bersebelahan jalan besar tanpa penghadang... Atau penghadang itu telah dilanggar sehingga pecah menyebabkan kereta masuk ke dalam longkang kerana kereta telah dipandu laju lalu hilang kawalan.
This can be considered common at the main roads where many often drive fast. How can such a thing happen at a small road which I know have many bumps? A road where people often drive below the speed of 30 km/h?
Kemalangan yang agak pelik ini menyebabkan ramai orang berhenti untuk memerhati dalam keadaan terpinga-pinga. Memang ramai yang hairan bagaimana kereta sebesar ini boleh masuk betul-betul muat ke dalam sebuah longkang yang tidak sebesar mana pun...
This rather strange accident made many people stop to have a look while being dumb-founded. Many where perplexed how can such a big car plunge and then fit nicely inside a drain which is not that big...
Keadaan ini menyebabkan saya terasa patut mengambil beberapa gambar sebagai rekod. Malah saya terasa wajib menceritakannya di dalam ketiga-tiga blogspot saya sebelum dapat menyambung apa- apa penulisan lain!
The incident made me feel obliged to take pictures for record. In fact I feel I must tell the story in all my three blogspots before I can continue with any sort of other writing!
Itupun belum cukup rupanya... Saya ingat apa yang diceritakan di atas sudah cukup pelik. Rupanya, ada lagi satu fakta kejadian yang jauh lebih pelik!
It turns out, that is not enough... I thought what is told above is already strange enough. Actually, there is one more fact of incident which is far more curious!
Saya diberitahu, kereta ini datang daripada arah bertentangan sebelum mengalami kemalangan lalu terperesok di dalam longkang. Kalau dari arah bertentangan, bukankah bahagian belakang kereta yang patut kelihatan daripada tempat saya sedang berdiri lalu mengambil gambar ini? Kenapa pula kelihatan bahagian hadapan kereta?
I was told, the car came from the opposite direction before having the accident and got stuck inside the drain. If it was from the opposite direction, shouldn't it be the back part of the car which should be visible from where I was standing to take the picture? Why am I looking at the front part of the car instead?
Menurut seorang hadirin, kereta itu telah berpusing sekurang-kurangnya sekali pusing sebelum terperesok dalam kedudukan yang dilihat ini. Ait? Berpusing lepas itu dapat pula masuk cukup-cukup ke dalam parit yang agak sempit ini? Aduh... Pening memikirkan bagaimana kejadian ini berlaku!
According to one of those present, the car made at least one spin before getting stuck in the position seen here. Ait? Making a spin and then falling just enough to fit inside the rather narrow drain? Ouch... It gives headache thinking about how this incident happened!
Lihat lagi, daripada sudut yang lain pula. Pelik bukan kedudukan kereta ini?
Apapun, saya diberitahu pemandunya selamat, mungkin luka-luka sedikit walaupun dia dikatakan memandu agak laju ketika mengambil selekoh di taman perumahan sehingga terjadinya kemalangan ini.
Look again, from a different angle. Strange isn't it the position of the car?
Whatever, I was told the driver is safe, maybe suffering some minor cuts and bruises although he (or she?) was said to have driven rather fast when taking a corner at the housing estate until the accident happened.
Yang pasti, tidak terdapat apa-apa kesan darah kelihatan seperti yang sering berlaku dalam pengalaman ngeri yang menyebabkan maut atau mereka yang terlibat cedera parah. Cermin tingkap di sisi bahagian pemandu yang terbuka tanpa ada kesan cermin pecah menunjukkan, sekurang-kurang pemandu dapat keluar menyelamatkan diri dalam keadaan yang agak selesa.
What is sure, there was no hint of blood seen as often the case in fatal accidents which caused death or those involved to suffer badly. The side-mirror at the driver's side which was opened without any thrace of the mirror being smashed shows that at least the driver managed to escape rather comfortably.
Bayangkan jika cermin itu tertutup dan pemandu terperangkap di dalamnya. Bagaimanakah agaknya keadaan?
Bayangkan pula kalau cermin tidak dapat dibuka dan kemalangan ini berlaku ketika hujan lebat yang sering menyebabkan banjir kilat. Silap-silap ada yang nahas!
Imagine if the side-mirror was closed and the the driver trapped inside? What would it be like?
Imagine now if the mirror can't be opened and the accident happened during heavy rain which often cause flash flood. For all we know, there would be fatality!
Kereta ditarik keluar menggunakan lori pick-up... Seperti biasa, rakyat Malaysia agak 'prihatin' apabila berlaku apa-apa kemalangan jalanraya. Ramai yang sedia menyumbangkan 'kepakaran' dengan duduk atau diri memerhati sambil ternganga... Atau sibuk mengemukakan 'teori' bagaimanakah sesuatu kemalangan itu boleh berlaku, hehe!
The car being pulled out using a pick-up lorry... As usual, Malaysians are rather 'conscious' whenever there's a road accident. Many are ready to contribute 'expertise' by sitting or standing looking on wide-mouthed... Or busy forwarding 'theories' on how an accident can happen, haha!
