Casualty ‘A’
You were driving along the dockside road at Seaport Docks, to deliver a revised loading list to the ship, when a dock worker suddenly stepped out in front of you. You braked sharply in an effort to avoid him but the car hit him and knocked him to the ground. You were not wearing a seat belt and your forehead struck the steering wheel before you were thrown back against the head rest. You have pain to your head and neck but got out of the car to help the other casualty. You felt giddy and confused and when the competitors arrive on set are on the ground by the open car door. Use you own name and address and dress appropriately for the occasion, including an HV vest.
