2/4 story in class

Who: Jamie Peterson + two female passengers, witnesses Josie M. Crandall and Tom Carroll Jr.
What: car crash, dirt road, Budweiser cans
When: Monday at about 9 p.m.
Where: Mile Hill Rd. , Belmont, MA
Why: speed, drinking, dirt road, no streetlights
How: driving fast, turn, flip the car
So what: local, fatal accident there before

Rescuers used the jaws of life to free two teenage passengers from a crushed car after an accident Monday night.
The accident took place on Mile Hill Road in Belmont, MA at about nine p.m. The 17-year-old driver of the car, Jamie Peterson, was unhurt when his vehicle hit an embankment on the side of the road and flipped onto its roof. The two young women in the car with him were trapped in the car for 45 minutes before rescuers pulled them out and brought them to Belmont’s Memorial Hospital. One of the victims was in stable condition while the second was airlifted to Massachusetts General Hospital.
Tom Carroll Jr. was driving behind Peterson before the accident. He said that Peterson’s car sped up before going around a curve and flipping onto its roof.
“I thought the worst,” Carroll said, “They were flying. It’s hard to see kids your age in something like this.”

  1. This is how much I got done in class, not sure if you had wanted us to finish it/work more on the story at all.
