Last Monday an accident happened to a young man. The young man was a driver. He was talking to a girl while he was driving his car on the road. They talked about the popular music. He was still talking when he stopped at the side of the street and the door of the car opened. His legs were out of the car while they were talking. Suddenly, a big truck hit his open door. The door closed on the young man’s legs. What happened? A kind car driver drove the young man to the nearest hospital. He was in bed for two months. He lost both his legs. He almost lost his life, too. When he thought of this, he wanted to cry. What bad luck he had!
