Lesson 17 Key Conversation Just a Fender-Bender

Cindy: Oh my gosh! What just happened?

John: The car behind just rear-ended us!

Cindy: Well, how on earth did that happen? You're usually such a great driver. Weren't you watching out for him?

John: Of course, I was! But the other car ran the red light and slammed right into the back of our car. You honestly can't put all the blame on me!

Cindy: That's just great! Now, how in the world are we going to get to the party?

John: I think we should thank our lucky stars that it was just a fender-bender. Now I need to make a statement to the police and my insurance company.

Cindy: Just a fender-bender?? can't move my neck! Do you think I might have whiplash? I'm not sure what we should do.

John: First things first. Let's call 911, and we'll have the paramedics take you to the hospital and have you examined.

Cindy: Yeah, you're right. Too bad about missing the party, though.

John: Never mind the party. When I'm sure you're in good hands, I'll deal with the police report and the insurance.
