Un petit accident

…. Tu sais, j’étais en ville avec mes copains quand j’ai vu un petit accident! Voici ce qui s’est passé……………
 
I had decided to go to the cinema but decided to go the restaurant with my girlfriend. It was her birthday and she said that she would rather go to the French restaurant near her house. Her friend had wanted to come with us, but she had to stay at home because she was ill - it was a shame. We were walking down the street talking about what we were going to do during the summer holidays; we were thinking about going to the South of France for two weeks. As we passed the bus stop the bus arrived quite fast, did not stop and crashed into some cars that were parked on the side of the road. There were lots of people screaming and my girlfriend was very scared. The driver got out of the bus. He had a cut on his head and he was bleeding. I was worried about him. My girlfriend and I went to the bus to help the other passengers. Three people needed an ambulance. It was a terrible accident.
