拉米斯公司的查爾斯·麥克勞克林是一位粗心的司機,他在3月13日當班的時候發生了另一起事故。事故發生在加利福尼亞的河濱市。
Not paying attention to his driving, Mclaughlin turned right on main street and 33rd street and hit Volkswagen rabbit. This caused minor damage to his truck and serious damage to the car.
麥克勞克林沒有專心駕駛,他在主街和33號大街右拐撞上了另一輛汽車。他的卡車受了輕傷,另一輛汽車損壞嚴重。
On the basis of the police report, the Lummis accident committee correctly determined that Mclaughlin had been quite careless.
根據警方的報告,拉米斯事故委員會判定是麥克勞克林疏忽駕駛造成。
As a result of the committee's conclusion, the branch manager Mr. David Rossi reported that he had talked with Mclaughlin about his extremely poor driving record.
鑒于委員會的結論,分公司經理大衛·羅西先生寫報告說他已經和麥克勞克林談過關于他不良的駕駛記錄問題。
Further evidence of Mclaughlin's irresponsibility occurred on May 6th when he was returning from his shift.
更多關于麥克勞克林不負責任的駕駛問題發生在5月6日他下班回來的時候。
