The Officer Asked What I Had Seen That Night
Serving as an eyewitness to an unexpected civic incident requires sharp observation and disciplined recollection when recounting events to municipal authorities. Late on a foggy Tuesday evening in November, I was returning from our neighborhood community center when loud shouting echoed across the waterfront quayside. Two delivery vans had collided near the industrial dock gates, scattering cargo across the roadway. Within ten minutes, emergency services arrived, and an investigating police officer approached me to record a formal witness statement.
The investigating officer asked what I had seen before the collision occurred. He asked whether either vehicle had been speeding as they approached the narrow intersection by the warehouse. I explained that visibility had been severely impaired by harbor mist and poor street lighting. The officer then inquired if I had heard any braking sounds or horn warnings before the impact occurred.
