I had to fumble in my pockets for my mobile phone and call the police. In a few minutes a police car came and rushed the lady and her child to hospital. I was, however, asked to stay where I was.

As to the business trip, I had to cancel it. As a result, my work suffered enormously. Up to now, I still can't make sense of the accident. Unit 5
