The police car arrived quickly, and an ambulance soon followed...
The area was cordoned off, and medical staff rushed to the scene to treat a few affected pedestrians. One of them hurried to Vera Wave, asking if she was injured.
Vera just shook her head in Kris Cooper's arms, her face as pale as paper.
The body of the driver responsible for the accident was carefully removed from underneath the car, placed on a stretcher by the staff, and loaded into the ambulance. Kris Cooper and Vera Wave were also taken by the police for questioning.
Under Kris Cooper's calming influence, Vera's emotional state improved somewhat, and she promptly recounted the events to the officers.
"I was originally sitting in the passenger seat. I saw the car rushing towards us in the rear-view mirror. I jumped out of the car, and then it crashed over... I was terrified, so I turned and sprinted to the side..."
The police carefully recorded her statement and Kris Cooper's, then had her sign to confirm it.
