Roy had a slow start. There were two cars ahead of him and he needed to catch up if he wanted to win the race. As they neared the finish line, the car in front of Roy took a corner too quickly and flipped over blocking the track.

羅伊起步比別人慢,有兩部車在他前面,要贏得比賽一定要趕上才行。就在他們接近終點線時,羅伊前面那部車因為轉彎。

T he car burst into flames. The driver was stuck. Roy pulled over, jumped out of his car and ran over to the other driver. He was unconscious. Roy smashed the window and dragged the driver out of the car.

車子突然起火,駕駛員則被卡在車內。羅伊把車開到路邊,從車子裡跳出來跑到翻車的那名車手那裡,發現他已經不省人事了。羅伊打破車窗,把駕駛員從車子裡拖 了出來。
