The traffic was heavy along the road leading to the hospital. A lorry was wedged under the bridge, its load was stuck fast, and the firemen were trying to free the driver, from his cabin, with cutting tools.
“Oh I should have been on the ward ten minutes ago.”She rode her scooter on to the pavement to avoid the traffic, and when she was coming off the pavement to join the traffic again, she miss judged it. She was caught between two cars.
