When the accident happened I was standing at the intersection, and I saw everything clear as day. A small car was turning right, didn't blow its horn, and ``whoosh" just made a turn. Who knew an electric bike would also drive up, and at a really high speed. They just hit each other. It was the first time I ever saw a car accident. I was scared out of my wits. I thought it must be bad, maybe someone died in the crash. I hurried right over and saw the girl on the bike had been knocked to the ground. Good thing she was OK. Then the man driving the car got out. They were both driving very fast, metal hit metal, and it was a crash.
