She received an urgent call from the hospital telling her that she has an urgent case waiting for her at the hospital.

Ben, 75 years old, was walking just next to the accident place when it happened. The big noise made by the accident has frightened the poor man who, without thinking, has thrown himself on the side of the road to hide. Unfortunately, the fall was stronger than expected and Ben hurt himself badly. He spent 4 weeks at the hospital and paid USD 10,000 as medical fees.
