I arrived at the junction on Bell Street. The traffic lights were red, so I stopped and waited. When they turned green, I started driving. Then, all of a sudden, the other driver appeared in front of me. I slammed on my brakes, but I hit him.'' I asked him why he thought it was Mr Burn's fault. He said, ''Just before the crash, I saw him talking on his mobile phone.'' I talked to the accident investigator as well. The investigator said that ''Mr Jacobs couldn't have been speeding.''

At the time of the crash, he was using his telephone. I went to his house this morning and said ''You must come with me to the police station.''
