Writing, Original:

I got a accident that is on the express way when I went back home last week.there was a huge wood rush to my car which touched the bottom of the car. I found that the car made out a noise and couldn’t keep right direction anymore in the same time. So I stopped it immediately and press the emergency button. At that time I was confused that what happen about that because the light was too dark to find which one I crashed. Fortunately the car still worked after I checked it out. So I put a signal in the middle of the way and kicked the wood away until someone threw to the place again.

I got in an accident on the express way when I went back home last week. There was a huge piece of wood on the road which touched the bottom of the car. I found that the car was making a noise, shaking, and it couldn’t keep in the right direction anymore. So I stopped it immediately and turned on the four way flashers. At that time, I was confused what had happened because the light was too dark to find what I hit. Fortunately, the car still worked after I checked it out. So I put a signal in the middle of the roadway and kicked the wood away so someone wouldn’t hit it again.
