Paula is a paralegal and is reviewing the following transcript of Larry Lawyer’s conversation with Clara, a potential client:
Larry: Hello, Clara. How can I help you today?
Clara: Well, I was in an automobile accident yesterday and want to see if I can sue the driver of the black SUV.
Larry: OK. Tell me about the accident.
Clara: I was driving down Main Street in my brand new Ford truck-near the entrance to the Hollywood Shopping Center-and this idiot in a blue cowboy hat driving a black SUV pulled out of the parking lot without stopping. I slammed on the brakes, but couldn’t avoid hitting the SUV. You know, that crazy hick had on blue cowboy boots that matched his hat and a turquoise belt buckle that matched his turquoise ring.
Larry: What happened then?
Clara: Well, after he climbed out of the passenger side door, he started yelling at me and wanted to know why I had hit his SUV. Then he said he would be late for an acting job at Silver Screen Studios and blamed me for that too. Like I really cared-I was going to miss the sale at Saks.
Paula needs to identify the key facts of the incident Clara has described. Which of the following best identifies the key facts as described by Clara?
