The driver of the car had to stay in prison（监狱） and wait for the hospital report on the bike rider. It was lucky that the bike rider was not killed.
Three years later, another car accident happened. It was again in New York City. He was hit by a passing car. Again, no one was sure just how it happened or who was at fault. The driver of the car was put into prison. Poor Mr Bliss became the first person to die in a car accident.
