One car was heading south.

One car was facing north, making a left-hand turn at a traffic light.

Bang-crunch-clunk-tinkle.

I had witnessed an automobile accident and as the situation presented itself, I was able to hear from others at the scene what had actually happened.

I think everyone agreed that the driver heading south ran into the driver who was heading north and making a left hand turn.

Excluding the two drivers, who were not in any condition to argue about the finer points of what had actually occured, not everyone agreed ...

• ... who was at fault.
• ... what color the traffic light was at the time of the accident.
• ... whether the driver heading south speeded up to make the light.
• ... whether the driver heading north was paying attention to oncoming traffic.

So, what did actually happen? I know because I was there and saw the whole thing. Strange that all those other witnesses didn't see the accident as clearly as I.
