:Yesterday I saw a car accident. I was standing on the corner, waiting for the green light. The other light changed from green to yellow. Then I saw a sports car. The man driving it was very fast. He wanted to get through the yellow light but when he got closer it turned red. On the other street, a tow truck started to move forward. The driver of the sports car tried to stop but it was too late. He smashed into the side of the tow truck. The man in the sports car got out of his car very slowly. He had a cut on his head and he was stumbling around. The man in the tow truck was not hurt. He called an ambulance with his cellphone. By then a crowd was gathering. Some people were watching from the distance, others were helping the injured man. Then the ambulance arrived. The paramedics put the injured man on a stretcher and drove him to the hospital.
