An old man was hit by a taxi this morning when he was crossing the street on the pedestrian crosswalk.
The old man’s head was hit on the car window.
There was blood on his head, one of his shoes was on the other side of the road.
He was in severe pain.
His right ankle was broken.
The police officer was asking for information, but he was still in trauma. All I heard was he’s only got his wife at home, whom is disabled from illness.
Finally the ambulance came, and he was being treated.
It was during rush hour. Automobiles still occupying the pedestrian crosswalk.
Pedestrian watching while crossing the street on the crosswalk squeezed by cars.
The ambulance took the injured old man and the trembling taxi driver away.
