In this report, Ray Upton describes an accident.
From the list below, select all the TRUE statements about the accident.
From the list below, select all the TRUE statements about the accident.
This is a true statement. Ray reports that on Highway One, there is "a multiple vehicle collision blocking traffic in both directions". A "collision" refers to the accident itself, and Ray's statement that traffic is "blocked" tells us that circulation on the freeway is being slowed or impeded. The term "traffic jam" describes this slow moving traffic.
This statement is false. Ray says that "several injuries have been reported along with at least one fatality, maybe more". Although he does not know the final figures, he knows that some people have been hurt and that there has been at least one death.
This statement is false. Ray Upton says that the traffic is blocked as "firefighters are trying desperately to reach the scene of the accident". The verb "to reach" describes the arrival at a spot or destination in this context. The firefighters have not yet arrived at the scene of the accident because of the cars blocking them. Firefighters, along with the police and paramedics are part of a group called "Emergency Services".
This statement is false. Ray Upton says that "at least one fatality" has been reported. A "fatality" is an injury resulting in death. "At least" one person was killed in this accident and maybe more. The term "fatality" is often used in the context of military conflicts, however we often hear the term on the news, nearly every night unfortunately.
