The Accident “I must get to a telephone as soon as possible! I saw an accident at the corner of 17th and McPherson Streets. Please help me. This school bus was approaching the intersection and so was the Honda Accord. They both had green lights. The school bus was attempting to turn right when the Honda turned left in front of the bus. The bus blew the horn, but the Honda actually sped up. They crashed into each other. I think someone was hurt.”
