OUTSIDE READING

I read an article in 17 magazine called Deadly Carpool. It is about two boys named Chris and Scott. They were walking home from school one day when there friend drove up in his moms car. The boys got in but there was not a enough room in the car for all of them. So Chris and Scott got in the trunk. The driver of the car did not have his liscense or permit. He was driving pretty well until he had to turn a corner. There was a semi truckin front of them that was going really slow so the dirver switched lanes he was being careful not to speed but while he was chainging lanes his car began to fish tale. He jerked the steering wheel back and forth which made the car swereve more. Chris and Scotts weight together put to much pressure on one end of the car which made the car spin uncontroalby. The drive hit the brakes but that only made things worse. The car went over a curb and hit a tree which made the trunk fly open and Chris and Scott flew out on to on moving traffic. they both died.
