Cyclist vs Bridge – level 2
22-03-2023 15:00
A cyclist attempted to cross a rising bridge in Wisconsin, USA, and she got through the barriers but fell into the gap of the bridge moments later.
The operator of the bridge stopped it, and people ran to the woman to help her. She was not seriously injured but went to the hospital.
Difficult words: attempt (try to do something), gap (a space between two things).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
What challenges did the operator of the bridge face in stopping it when the cyclist was in danger?
