A taxi hit a truck. A policeman spoke to
the taxi driver and to the truck driver. He also spoke to Tom. Tom was a
witness(目击者). This is what they said.
TRUCK DRIVER: I was driving from the
airport to Newton. A car crossed the road, so I slowed down. I did not stop. A
taxi: hit the back of my truck. Nobody was seriously hurt but both the truck
and the taxi were damaged(损害).
TAXI DRIVER: I was driving behind a truck a
few kilometers from Newton. The truck stopped suddenly. The driver did not give
me a warning(警告). I was driving very slowly. I could not pass the truck because there
were two cars coming near from Newton. My taxi hit the truck, and some glass cut
my left hand.
TOM: I was watching the traffic about a
kilometer from the airport. A truck was going to Newton. It was going fast.
When the truck slowed down, the taxi hit it. The taxi driver was not looking at
the truck. He was looking out of the window at something. My friend saw the
accident, too.
Tom's friend spoke to the
policeman and agreed with .Tom.
