It was a sunny balmy afternoon at the end of a leisurely summer.I was driving on a winding country road with a lady friend.Little did I know that I was to have a close call that would have almost ruined the rest of my life.
Earlier that day,a friend called me to tell me that our mutual friend Rosy was arriving back from Taiwan after the summer holidays.Since there was no airport in the immediate vicinity of the university,she would need a ride to come back on campus.
Being mildly interested in that girl,I jumped at the chance to play hero.The trip was not particular long or arduous.I was to pick her up from a friend’s home that was a mere 80 miles from campus—a piece of cake,I said to myself.
Everything went well.The country road was almost deserted.Visibility was good and I was not driving very fast.The conversation was lively but not distracting.
About half an hour into the drive,I rounded a corner and noticed two small children,aged around 10,waiting to cross the road after getting off their school bus.My mind was not particularly focused on them because I thought they would not cross the road when a truck was coming through on their side.The two kids looked to their left,watching the truck intensely.As soon as the truck passed,and without a thought,they started to dash across the road.I was petrified,to say the least.My heart almost leaped out of my throat.Time seemed to have come to a standstill.It was like a nightmare coming into reality.I felt I was in the slow motion crash scene of a movie.I did not even have the time to brake or steer clear.
By providence smiled on me that day.The two kids missed my car by less than an inch.Imagine what would have happened if I had hit them?They would have been killed instantly.I would have been charged with manslaughter and thrown into jail.My career would be over before it even got started.The kind of inhumane treatment I would receive from fellow inmate,I could only guess but hate to imagine.I will never be a whole person again even if I were to be released early for good behavior.My life would be over.Even if I had a good lawyer that could have gotten me off,I would have carried that guilt in my mind for the rest of my life.
Even today,thirty-six years later,the memory of that day is still fresh on my mind.I have my lucky star to thank for having both parties gotten off unscathed.

不好意思，刚才帮你翻译的时候发现这个文章是一个人关于他车祸全过程的回忆，内容不太适合楼主的需要，现附上另外一篇较真实可信的作文。 An Unforgettable Day Late one afternoon, I was on my way home from school. I walked slowly along the street with my head drooped. The scenes on both sides of the street were beautiful, but I had no interest in them at all. I walked and walked, thinking of what had happened that day. Just a few minutes before the second class began that afternoon, I was asked to go to the teacher's office. I heard my teacher talking to my mother with anger. How could you dare to go to see a film this morning without permission? Mother said at the top of her voice, slapping me in the face heavily. I look at Mother, dumbfounded… I walked more slowly, for I had seen my house ahead, where Mother was always standing at the door, smiling at me, at this time every day. But now, she wasn't there. My heard was beating faster. I even didn't dare to open the door for fear that Mother should beat again. Not knowing what to do, I sat on the ground near the door, blaming myself for what I had done. I was lost in deep agony. Suddenly a soft hand patted me on the head. I looked up, seeing Mother standing beside me. I couldn't help crying, Mum! tears rolling down my cheeks. 一天下午,我在放学回家的路上。我垂着头慢慢地沿着街道走。这条街的两边都很漂亮,但是我没有兴趣。我一边走一边考虑所发生的那一天。 那天下午，就在上课前的几分钟,,我被要求去老师的办公室。我听到我的老师和我母亲的训斥：“你怎么敢去看一场电影今天早上未经许可吗?”妈妈大声地说道，还狠狠地给了我一个耳光。我看着母亲,目瞪口呆… 我慢慢地走着,因为我已经走到了我的房子前面,母亲以前总是每天在这段时间站在门口对我微笑,。但是现在,她不在那里。我听到的是跳得更快了。我甚至不敢开门担心母亲再打我，一时间不知道该怎麽办,我坐在地上责备自己。陷入了深深的痛苦。突然一个柔软的手拍了拍我的头。我抬起头,看见妈妈站在我的旁边。我忍不住哭了,妈妈!热泪滚滚而下我的脸颊。
