“And before you could bring your car to a stop, you’d struck her. Is that right?”
“Yes.”
“And, as you struck her, she fell to the pavement?”
“I swerved my car, and pretty near missed her,” Diggers said. “I couldn’t quite make it. The edge of one of the fenders brushed against her, and she went down.”
“I understand,” Sampson said. “Now, let’s pay particular attention to what happened after that. You stopped your car almost instantly, didn’t you?”
“Yes, I’d started to stop, of course, before I hit her.”
“And you jumped out of your car, and ran around to where she was lying?”
“Yes.”
“And she was lying face down on the pavement?”
“Well, sort of on one side — more face down, I guess, than on the side.”
