At 8:20 a.m. on Monday, Sabrina stepped out on time, ready to tackle the day.
Her apartment was conveniently close to her workplace, just a stones throw away, making her morning stroll a breeze.
As Sabrina reached the intersection, she confidently crossed as the green pedestrian lights indicated it was safe.
However, a loud car horn sounded when Sabrina came halfway, and a small car suddenly careened around the corner toward her.
Startled by the sound, Sabrinas mind blanked momentarily, and then she quickly tried to dodge the oncoming vehicle.
But it was too late.
The car grazed Sabrina, and she found herself on the ground in a split second.
The impact was enough to knock Sabrina over. Her camera catapulted into the air, landing a few meters away. Her palms bore the brunt of the fall, her skin ripping, and her ankle throbbing with pain.
Before she could fully comprehend what happened, the reckless driver sped away.

There was a fleeting ache in her lower abdomen. Sabrina brushed it off, not giving it much thought.
Quick to react, Sabrina dialed the police, who promptly arrived and escorted her to the hospital.
After a thorough examination, the doctor prescribed medication for the pain in Sabrinas ankle.
Sabrina took her camera out of the bag to inspect it, only to find it was damaged and didnt work.
Talk about rotten luck! It wasnt her day!
The police took a statement of events from Sabrina and her contact number and assured her they would call when they found the culprit.
