--- JULY ------------- JOURNAL -------------- JULY ---
It was raining heavily as I was walking up the hill
towards the station at six o'clock on a Saturday
morning. At this early hour there wasn't much
traffic and there weren't many people in sight. Just
as I was crossing the road near the top of the hill, a
car came round the corner. It was travelling very fast
and the driver was obviously having difficulty in
controlling it. Suddenly it swerved violently, skidded
on the wet road, hit a lamp-post and turned over.
At once I ran to the car to assist the driver, but
he was unconscious and there was a lot of blood on his
face, A young woman hurried Into the station and phoned
for an ambulance while I took care of the driver. A
number of other people gathered round the car, but there
wasn't a great deal we could do. A policeman arrived a
few minutes later and asked me a lot of questions about
the accident. Shortly afterwards the man came round,
and he was groaning quietly when the ambulance arrived
at high speed and rushed him away to hospital.
On Monday morning I went to the hospital to enquire
about the man. They told me that his injuries were not
serious after all and that he was rapidly getting over
the effects of the accident.
