A taxi hit a truck. A policeman spoke to the taxi driver and the truck driver.
He also spoke to Tom, a witness. This is what they said.
Truck driver: I was driving from the airport to Newtown. A car crossed the road, so1 slowed down. 1 didn't stop. A taxi hit the back of my truck. Nobody was seriously hurt but both cars were damaged.
Taxi driver: I was driving behind a truck a few kilometres from Newtown. The truck stopped suddenly without giving me a warning. I was driving very slowly. I couldn't pass the truck because there were two cars crossing near from Newtown. My taxi hit the truck, and some glass cut my left hand.
Tom: I witnessed the accident. The truck was going to Newtown. It was not going very quickly. There was a taxi about two hundred metres behind the truck. It was going fast. When the truck slowed down, the taxi hit it. The driver was not looking at the truck. He was looking out of the window at something. My friend saw the accident too.
Tom's friend spoke to the policeman and agreed with Tom.
