Stones on the road, especially large ones, can pose dangers to both drivers and pedestrians.

After most cars had passed, a young girl in a yellow school uniform ran onto the road to grab the stone.

“There’s a car coming!” Someone else warned.

Due to the approaching vehicle, the girl changed directions and returned to the bus stop.
