A Tragic Accident

Dearest 5C4,

Yesterday marks a sad note for 2 boys and their family. 

According to The Straits Times, "Two brothers were killed in a gruesome traffic accident in Tampines earlier on Monday.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it had received a call at around 5.43pm, and that the boys died after being hit by a truck at the junction of Tampines Ave 9 and Tampines St 45. The 13-year-old male cyclist and the 7-year-old male pillion were pronounced dead at scene by paramedics."

Please be safe and always keep a lookout while crossing the road or cycling on the street. 

Can you imagine how the parents of the two boys feel? They must be devastated. Please give your parents and siblings a hug and tell them that you love them. No matter how your parents scold or nag at you at times, you must know that they care a lot for you! <:

Stay safe always my darlings!
