 Witness A: I was standing at the bus stop opposite the gas station on Route 300, a four-lane road. Thathad always been a dangerous area, but it’s safer now because they recently put in traffic signals. Therewere two vehicles on the road approaching the signal. One was a small farm truck and the other abrand-new sports car. It was getting dark but the heavy rain had just stopped and there were no other carsaround. Anyway, the truck and the sports car were driving side by side when the car started to swervefrom side to side. I think the truck may have moved slightly to stay from the car—I couldn’t take my eyesoff the car. The signal was red, but instead of slowing down, the car sped ahead rapidly. The driver wasgoing to go through the intersection when the light was red! And that’s when a van suddenly came intothe intersection from the far side. It looked like they were going to hit, but they both turned away fromeach other at the last second and avoided a crash. But then the back doors of the van opened up andhundreds of soccer balls spilled out.Witness B: I was walking on the side road toward Route 300—coming to the intersection. I noticed thatthey had put up signals near the service station. This should help make the intersection safer. Suddenly, avan came up from behind me. It was strange—I could see inside the van and it was full of soccer balls! Ihad never seen anything like that before. Anyway, as the van was approaching the signal, the light turnedfrom green to yellow. But the driver went faster when he should have slowed down—he drove into theintersection where he almost hit a sports car. It was so lucky—the man was able to turn to the right andmiss the car. I think the sports car turned too. Fortunately, there was no accident, but there were soccerballs all over the place.
