I soon_
2_myself at the centre of a frenzy of activity, surrounded by paramedics, police, rescuers and
members of the local community. An enormous can opener was used to
3 me out of my wrecked car
and
4 an ambulance.
Over the next eight hours, I was transported to hospital, dragged up, Xrayed and diagnosed (诊断)
with a broken neck. Knowing that I'd

long wait in the emergency ward and
