What does Alison order? What happened?

A: So, Alison. Do you know what you want?
B: I’m not sure. The chicken sounds nice, but so does the fish. What about you?
A: Well, I think I’m going to have the fish.
B: OK. I’ll have that, too.

F: What’s the matter?
M: The road ahead is blocked. The bus and a truck crashed into each other.
F: Oh, that’s really awful.
