TU Tuesday- Local

The article I read was about a devastating car accident in Warren County on May 9th. The car accident was especially devastating because a passenger, 15 year old Sara Porter, died after being rushed to the Albany Medical Center. The driver, Aaron Palait, was driving on route 8 and ended up in a drainage ditch only to barrel into a couple of trees before landing turned over in a pool of standing water.

The central idea of the text is that there was a car accident involving a death. The first paragraph goes on to establish the plot. The who, "A 15 year-old from Ticonderoga." The what, "died Wednesday from injuries suffered." The when, "In a May 9 automobile accident, and the where, "in Warren County." After that the rest of the article just goes into more specific details on the entire plot. Eventually the article includes other people involved in the accident and a brief but detailed description of the accident.
