Assignment Question
On a sunny Saturday morning in January, Rachel was driving to the beach when her car broke down on a busy road. As there was a No Stopping sign, Rachel tried to push the car onto the grassy area next to the road, but it was too heavy. Rachel decided to leave the car where it was until the roadside assistance company arrived. The road was wide enough that other cars could get past Rachels car. Ben was on his way to a party and decided to get into the party mood by playing loud music and singing while driving. As Bens attention was not fully on the road, he failed to see Rachels stationary car until it was too late. Ben swerved to avoid Rachels car but still hit it, injuring Rachel who was sitting on the bonnet of the car. Bens car then collided with Olivias car, which was travelling in the opposite direction. As a result of the accident, Olivia is seriously injured. Miraculously, Ben has no injuries.
