the back of my truck. Nobody was badly hurt but both cars were damaged.
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. 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 not going very quickly. There
was a taxi about two hundred meters behind the truck. It was going fast. When

truck. He was looking out of the window at something. My friend saw the
accident, too.
