The mystery of the

Red Truck
By Sally Nicholls, a local reporter
It has been confirmed that late on the night of the sixth of July, a large red
truck ran into the bakery on Maryland Street. After an initial investigation by
police, it is now clear that the truck had no driver at all. The locals are asking
a simple question: “Where was the driver?” If the police want to solve this
mystery, they will need the CCTV footage from the street. One of the locals
said: “We’re all quite worried about a truck with no driver. This truck has
never been seen in the neighbourhood before. If we’d seen that truck before,
we’d solve this mystery now.” Many locals share the same concerns. They
want to know what’s happening in their town.

A witness at the crime scene told police: “There was a loud noise coming
from the truck while it was going towards the building and its speed.... it was
unbelievable. If it had been going slower, I would’ve had a chance to see the
driver. But all I saw was the truck speeding into the bakery as fast as it
could.’’
The police have already spoken with eleven other residents but no one knows
any further details about the incident. Superintendent Amanda Slippers
remarked: “This is a tough case. The truck licence plate belongs to this town,
but nobody has seen it here. According to the town records, the owner of the
truck moved away from here years ago. No one knows where to. If we located
the owner, we'd probably solve this mystery.’’ If a truck moves, then it has a
driver. Well, maybe we should change this basic assumption on account of
this mysterious red truck.

Decide if the statements are true or false according to the text.

1. The locals knew that the red truck had an old driver. - false
2. The police have investigated all the people in the town.- True
3. The CCTV footage of the street will help the police. True
4. The locals haven’t seen the truck in the town before. True
5. The truck ran into the building very slowly. false

GOOD LUCK !
