Alex never looked when they crossed the street.  They were almost hit by a car.
I was almost hit by a car today when I crossed the street if you can believe it. I mean, I can believe it because you are always looking down at your phone when you walk. I looked for a second man, and plus I swear I looked and no one was coming. Well, they came around the corner and you have to be more vigilant next time. Yeah, I mean, it isn't like I want to be put in the hospital from getting hit you know. Yeah, I know. Please be more careful.
