Chapter 1290

“Yes.” Tom nodded with a serious expression.

“How did that happen?” Sonia frowned tightly and asked curiously, “What about the casualties?”

He sighed and replied, “There were four people in the Acrees’ car, the three family members and the driver, while there was only one driver in the other car. Two cars collided not far from the Acrees’ house. Because the Acrees’ car is more expensive, it has better anti-collision measures. Although the car was damaged beyond repair, the four people in the car were alive. The driver and Mr. Acree sustained severe injuries because they sat in the front. They are still in the hospital, receiving emergency treatment as we speak. Mrs. Acree and Miss Acree sat in the back, so their injuries weren’t as bad, and they did not suffer a great impact from the accident, but they still suffered some serious injuries. I heard that her leg might need to be amputated. I can only get the specific information once we receive the results of their diagnosis and treatment.”

After a beat, he glanced at Toby before continuing, “The driver in the other car was not as lucky. He drove an ordinary car, and its quality couldn’t be compared with the Acrees’ vehicle, so not only was the car damaged, but the driver also died on the spot.”

“He died?!” She inhaled sharply in shock.

Toby narrowed his sharp eyes. “You said that the car accident was man-made.”

“Yes.” Tom nodded. “The men we sent to keep an eye on the Acrees rushed to the scene immediately when they saw the accident. According to the police’s investigation, they heard that the brake of the Acrees’ car was tampered with, including the steering wheel. As a result, the turning sensitivity was out of control, and the car could only drive forward in a straight line.”
