Report on a Car Accident
By Leticia (Y5C, 2007-08) - Lalala forum member

The purpose of this report is to describe the circumstances of the car accident I witnessed yesterday, July the 15th, in Gibraltar. The report provides a description of the facts and of the people involved, the personal injuries and the car damages, and my personal details in case it be necessary to contact me.*

  1. The accident
  3. At 8am, as I was dodging two motorbikes while crossing the Winston Churchill Avenue near the airport, a black Mercedes appeared at great speed, followed by a yellow Twingo. When the first car was about to reach the airport entrance, a sudden waving of the driver caused its fall into the water of the Strait of Gibraltar.
  1. The people involved
  3. There were three people involved:
  1. The two passengers of the Mercedes: they were sitting behind smoked glasses. Nevertheless, once rescued, they appeared to be Prince Charles and his sister-in-law, Sophie, whom I recognized immediately.
  2. The driver of the Twingo: he was a middle aged squad man, dark-skinned and glabrous. He stopped his car to take some pictures of the Mercedes in the water and disappeared.
  1. The personal injuries
  3. After calling an ambulance, I drove and rescued the victims. They both were unconcious but without any apparent physical injury, apart from a little gash in Prince Charles’s bald match. As soon as the ambulance came, they were re-animated.
  1. The car damages
  3. Because it still remains in the depths of the ocean, I only can affirm the car might have the hood very bashed, as it broke a stony fence before its falling.

In my opinion, contacting the Renault driver is crucial, as I am the sole eye witness. However I very much doubt he would support my testimony in case he is identified.

If there are any additional questions, my telephone number and e-mail address are:

*Note by michelle: I deleted the "intro" and last part headings, because it is not necessary to include that when the intro is three lines, really. Notice how she gives an opinion only at the end, as a kind of personal conclusion after considering the facts. And how a report for the police ends with some contact info.
