Last October,Todd Brill was talking to his mother in the dining room of their home, which overlooks the St. Joseph River.Through the window he saw a truck sail over the side of the bridge and fall into the water.
Brill shouted to his mother to call for an ambulance (救护车). Before she could ask why, he was running out the door.
Without hesitating, he dived into the cold river and swam to the truck. He went under and tried to open the driver’s door, but it could not move. He surfaced for air and again went under; this time he got the back door open. Water filled the truck, and it sank completely.
On his third dive,Todd pulled the 19-year-old Paulette Whitmer to the river bank.Todd had to shake her to get her to say if there was anyone else in the truck. Yes, her mother.
Shelia Whitmer, 45, had been trying to teach her daughter to drive the truck when Paulette ran into a sign near the bridge. Instead of stopping the truck, she had panicked(惊慌), and lost control.
AgainTodd swam the 30 feet and began diving. He swam to the passenger-side door, which he got open after what seemed a lifetime.Todd pulled the unconscious Shelia, whose face was bloody and bruised (淤伤), to the riverside.
Both women, who were being treated at a hospital, would have died if it had not been for Brill’s quick response.
What caused the accident?
选项
A、Paulette Whitmer got panicked.
B、There was a sign near the bridge.
C、Shelia lost control of the truck.
