Car crash Quote by Crystal Sawyer
“On Sunday the 26th of January this happened to me: i was with my mate and we were going swimming at a creek and after our swim we went up to where the toilets were and chatted. After talking for some time her and I walked down to see a 4x4 car driving in the creek and flicking up rocks near where some kids were swimming. all the parents were getting mad at the driver and then he started to try and get out of the creek, by that time another family had arrived to go for a swim and all the kids except for one little boy were already in the creek. the car had stopped so the dad signaled the car to stay so that the boy could go into the creek, but the car started moving again and almost hit the little kid and to cut the story short there was almost a fight and the driver rammed my mates parent's car and I was 10cm from getting killed..”
