Personal Narrative: My Summer At The Minnesota Zoo

Our blue Toyota Sienna cruised down the busy street on the way home from the Minnesota Zoo on a humid summer day. My sister and I both were exhausted from the drawn-out, but blissful time at the zoo. I was 10; my sister was 14. My dad was driving; my sister, I, and my sleeping grandma were in the backseat.
I was watching the world go by. Passing trees filled my vision for as far as I could see. Propping my arm on the window, I leaned my head on top of my hand. My thoughts rushed back to seeing all the animals at the zoo; I especially liked the tigers and polar bears. Our car slowed down to a stop, the sudden movement jolting me out of my daydream. As we waited for the light to turn green, I saw my dad look into the rearview mirror

with an alarmed look. I looked behind me and saw an oncoming car head in our direction. I instantly noticed the car was coming at us at an unusual fast pace. It veered over to the turning late at the last second and attempted to make a right hand turn without slowing. The car slammed into another car waiting at a stop light. I almost felt my eyes bulge out of my eyes. I was shocked at what just happened. I have seen a car crash in person before.
My dad gasped. “Write down the license plate number,” he said to my sister. He told them to her who quickly scribbled them down on a scratch sheet of paper. She handed the paper to him while he dialed 911 and told the dispatcher what was happening.
Meanwhile, the victim’s car flew into the direction of a telephone pole and faced a head-on collision. The car hit the pole and skidded onto the grass. The felon’s car backed up and tried to take off down the road. One man in a big pickup truck cut him off and boxed him in with no place to go. The man in the pickup truck got out and kicked the driver’s door repeatedly. Other people arrived to detain the lawbreaker until the police came. The culprit’s car had two men and an older lady who was holding her nose. Other people came to the aid of the victim’s car and an ambulance arrived.
