Last night I was driving home from work. I had an accident. I was following behind a truck， driving at about 30 kilometers an hour. I was watching the traffic carefully because it was getting dark.  
　　Suddenly a small girl ran onto the road from the left. She was chasing a dog and she wasn’t paying any attention to the traffic. I immediately applied the brakes and turned the steering wheel quickly to the right.
　　The girl jumped towards the side of the road as soon as she saw my car. Fortunately I did not hit her， but I hit a car coming in the other direction. Luckily I was not driving very fast so the damage was not serious. It is better to damage a car than to injure a young child， I thought to myself.
