Crash detectives analyse the scene
What happened here?
This scar this smashed windscreen
This mangled wreck
A recent music box
Hurtling along
Now a tale of shocks
Detailed examination of the road
Test for wet for skid marks
And the load
Then examine people
Alcohol cocaine
Contributory factors
Increasing someone’s pain
Thoughtless people
Fleeing from the scene
What have I done?
I didn’t really mean
Too late too late
The damage now is done
Someone died
While I was having fun
