    Mistakes
    • You seem to be having trouble stringing information together in this summary so that it reads smoothly. For example: "Tabitha Janssen drove a 2007 Ford Escape when she was struck" should be "Janssen was driving a 2007 Ford Escape when she was struck."
    • "As the State Patrol reported" should be "according to the State Patrol.
    • You don't refer to a newspaper as a source. Rather, the hard facts likely came from the State Patrol. You need to include the actual link to the original story in your summaries.
    • The last sentence should read like this: The 15 passengers on the bus were not injured.
