Practice Article: Car Crash

The below article is based on fictitious information and was used as a practice assignment. None of the details are real.

A car crash on Mile Hill Rd. in Belmont, Mass. left two passengers hospitalized Monday evening. The accident happened around 9 PM when Jamie Peterson, seventeen, crashed going around a curve. Peterson walked from the crash.
Tom Carroll, Jr., also seventeen, was the first on the scene. He had been following behind Peterson’s white mustang, according to police. “I thought the worst,” Carroll said when he saw the Mustang speed up. “They were flying. It’s hard to see…something like this. You realize when you see it what could happen, especially on this road.”
Josie M. Crandall, who lives on Hill Rd., saw the accident and called police. “I’ve seen a car going so fast on this road. It’s a dirt road, and it’s really easy to lose control.”
Rescuers managed to save the two passengers, both female, using the Jaws of Life. They were taken to Memorial Hospital located in Belmont. One of the passengers is now in stable condition while the other has been airlifted to Mass. General Hospital in Boston. According to Lt. Judith Barkus the identity of the two passengers is unknown. A fatal accident happened at the same spot in 1998, in which two people were killed.
