SUSAN: "Why are you so late?"
PETER: "There was big accident on the freeway. The police closed all the lanes. We had to take a detour."
SUSAN: "Was anyone hurt?"
PETER: "I think so. I saw two ambulances and a fire truck driving by."
SUSAN: "That's terrible."
PETER: "I know. I hope no one was seriously injured."
SUSAN: "That's scary. Do you know what caused the accident?"
PETER: "I don't know. I didn't see it happen."
