I am Leila. On Tuesday evening I witnessed a minor traffic incident near the harbour bridge, and a police officer asked me to stay while she recorded my account. Later I wrote the conversation in my notebook because the sequence of reported questions helped me understand how witnesses retell events.
Officer Brennan had asked whether I had seen the collision clearly. I told my roommate that the officer had asked if the weather had affected my view. I had answered that the rain had been light and that streetlights had illuminated the junction.
She had asked where I had been standing when the cars braked. I explained that I had waited at the bus stop on the north side. Officer Brennan had asked how far I had been from the vehicles, and I had estimated fifteen metres.
She had asked what colour the first car had been. I told my roommate that the officer had asked whether I had noticed its registration plate. I had said that I had read only partial letters before the driver had moved forward.
Officer Brennan had asked if I had heard horns before the impact. I told her that I had heard one short blast and then a screech of tyres. She had asked whether any pedestrian had crossed against the signal, and I had replied that nobody had entered the road illegally.
The officer had asked why the second driver had stopped so abruptly. I told my roommate that Officer Brennan had wanted to know if a cyclist had appeared from the cycle lane. I had not seen a cyclist, though I had noticed a delivery van slowing ahead.
She had asked when I had arrived at the stop. I said that I had reached it at seven fourteen, according to the display on my phone. She had asked whether I had checked the time immediately after the incident, and I had confirmed that I had.
Officer Brennan had asked me to describe the sequence without guessing. She had told me not to mention rumours I had heard from other bystanders. She had asked if I felt comfortable giving my contact details, and I had agreed.
A colleague had approached and had asked whether he could leave. Officer Brennan had told him to wait until she had finished with me. She had asked him what he had observed from the café terrace, and he had given a shorter statement.
She had asked how long the red light had been showing for the eastbound lane. I told my roommate that the officer had asked whether the signal had changed before the cars moved. I had said that the light had still been red for traffic turning left.
Officer Brennan had asked if I recognized either driver. I had answered that I had not known them personally. She had asked whether one driver had left the vehicle, and I had described a woman in a blue coat who had checked the rear bumper.
