A Traffic Accident
Today, a traffic accident happened at the intersection in front of my apartment. I heard a screech of brakes and, just after that, the sound of the collision. When I saw the intersection, two cars contacted each other. Either one might ignore a traffic light, and the braking distance increased because of rain. Fortunately, the collision was not terrible. I go out of my way to be careful while driving especially on rainy days.

Today, a traffic accident happened at the intersection in front of my apartment.
I heard athe sound of screech ofing brakes and, just after that, then the sound of thea collision immediately after.
You can also say:
I heard the sound of screeching brakes and then, immediately after, the sound of a collision.
If you want to build suspense.
When I saw the intersection, two cars contactedllided with each other.
"Contacted" is technically correct but it implies that the cars only touched each other slightly but it sounds like they hit each other.
You might hear "contacted" used in formal situations to describe an incident like this to make the experience sound softer.
Either one of them might have ignore ad the traffic light, and because of the braking distance increased because of rain, the amount they moved while breaking increased.
This sentence sounds more natural to me.
I go out of my way to be careful while driving, especially on rainy days.
Feedback
I hope the people in the accident are okay.
