HNBC p28 5 dialogue Fred

A person is telling their friend about a train accident they were in. They were with the train driver, who they know through their brother. The person was thrown out of the train and onto the grass, but the train driver was trapped under a large crate. The person crawled through the broken crates and tried to free the driver, who had a crushed throat and had difficulty breathing. Despite this, the driver managed to smile. Oh, Prue, it's like a dreadful dream. Yes, the train driver's a friend of my brother's. I was travelling up front with him. I was thrown through the windscreen onto the grass, but he was trapped under a huge great crate. I could hear him groaning. I was pretty frightened, Prue, I can promise you. I crawled through the broken crates and tried to drag him free. His throat was crushed. He couldn't breathe properly, but he managed a grin.
