There was an accident in Main Street this morning. A car crashed into a young boy who was on his bike on his way to school. An ambulance took the boy to hospital. Doctors said that the boy had a broken leg and a head injury*. He is now in hospital. The police said that the boy had a helmet but that it was not on his head at the time of the accident. A doctor at the hospital said that many bike accidents that are not too serious can be fatal** because the riders do not wear their helmets. “He always wears his helmet when he leaves the house,” said the boy’s mother who was in the waiting room. “Yes, but it isn’t cool to wear a helmet,” one of the boy’s friends who had come with him to the hospital explained. “OK, perhaps you don’t think helmets are cool. But let me tell you what really isn’t cool. It isn’t cool to leave your house on a bike and to return in a wheelchair***,” said the doctor.
