I then went to the five other cars to5if anyone else was hurt badly6, no one else was in serious condition. It all took just a few minutes.
At the same time, the traffic had stopped. I looked over and7a group of 12 people, out of their cars, standing in a circle about 15 feet away from a young man, who was8still on the pavement.
