Adult Passer By You were walking your dog along the road, you saw children playing with a ball on the pavement. Then you heard a car approaching with loud music, it seemed to be speeding. The ball went into the road, one child followed, second child crossed the path of the on coming car, the car braked and swerved to avoid the child and hit a parked car. The passenger went through the windscreen. You picked up your mobile phone and called an ambulance and the police. Child’s Friend You ran across the road to get your ball, leaving your friend on the other side. You heard the screech of a car braking quickly, a bang and turned round. Your friend joined you. He/she seems to be shaking and is upset. Passenger You were late for the dentist, your friend offered you a lift as it was only up the road you did not bother to put your seat belt on. The last thing that you remember was hearing your favourite song on the radio, so you asked your friend to turn it up. Your face is now bleeding, you are in the road and freezing cold even though it’s summer. You are concussed so you do not remember the details. Driver You were late to get your friend to the dentist, so you might have been going a bit too fast. You looked down to change the radio, when you looked up; you saw a child in the road, so braked and swerved into a parked car. You are unhurt but shaken. Your friend went through the windscreen and is obviously hurt. Child You were playing with your friend by a busy road. You kicked the ball so your friend went and got it.

You heard the car screech its brakes and hit a parked car. You have seen that someone is hurt.
