Car crash

Yesterday evening F&L and their two kids invaded our apartment. We hadn’t seen each other for a long time. The chips and little cheese cubes were a big success with the kids. I and F inhaled both the flavour and the liquid of a nice white wine. I prepared a rhum-based cocktail for both L and myself.
At the end of the night F&L decided to spend the night with us. We managed the logistics. The kids and L installed themselves in the guest bedroom while F slept in the sofa (I have already tried to sofa out myself a couple of month ago and I must admit that our sofa is very comfortable to sleep in).
After breakfast we decided to go to the park to give the children the time to play a bit. We don’t really have a lot of toys in our apartment. On our way to the park we heard a car braking and quickly after that the bang of cars crashing into each other. At the end of the street we saw the damage, a van had driven into a BMW. The trunk of the car was completely gone and smoke was coming out of the BMW.
The speed limit on Franklin Roosevelt is 50 km/h. After seeing the damage we all had the impression that the person driving the van was speeding.
It was only during the speedminton game that we heard the police and fire brigade rushing towards the accident.
I just cannot imagine what would have happened if this accident would have happened two minutes earlier while we were crossing the street!
