I was driving home. A car, driving at high speed and trying to overtake, crashed into a pickup truck. And five other cars also1in front of me. I narrowly2and pulled over. Immediately, I ran to a car which was upside down. I got someone to help and we got a(n)3woman and a large, unconscious man, both upside down, out of the4. I then went to the five other cars to5if anyone else was hurt badly6, no one else was in serious condition. It all took just a few minutes.
At the same time, the traffic had stopped. I looked over and7a group of 12 people, out of their cars, standing in a circle about 15 feet away from a young man, who was8still on the pavement. I asked them what had happened. They said the kind young man had got out of his car to cross the road and9when a car drove along the inside lane (车道), very fast, to get around the10traffic. Unfortunately, the man was11by it. Many people said he was12; several had checked. But a feeling inside me said, "Can they be certain he is dead?"
He was badly injured, but I checked again and again, and felt a very13heart beat. I14pushed his head upwards. He then coughed, and started taking rapid, shallow breaths. By then, the ambulances had15. When they16, I left the scene and walked back to my car.
Due to the excellent doctors and17of nurses, the young man did18. He was released from the hospital after many months and his19was covered by all the news stations. I smiled to myself and felt very20to be at the right place at the right time, knowing a young man had his whole life in front of me.
