The Car Accident rough draft
Saturday morning, I awoke very excited. the night before I learned that the family and I will be going to Lagoon this would the first time I was tall enough to get on all the rides. I was up and ready before anyone else my excitement reminded me of Christmas day I could not sleep nor could I wait any longer. I was driving my parent’s crazy with questions and would not stop asking when we would be leaving, my mom, frustrated and annoyed asked me to go play outside. I decided to listen to her and find something to help pass the time.

I lived on a busy street that had a speed limit of 35 miles an hour my mom always had me be extra careful when playing outside due to the traffic. to ride my bike, I would have to cross the street to get to the other block that had a park I could ride my back at.

I looked to my right and see the white suv in the canal covered by a tree I could hear crying and moans of pain coming from the vehicle with blood on the driver’s side
