People like to talk about “first”. They like to remember their first love or their first car. But not all firsts are happy ones. Few people enjoy the firsts that are bad.

One of history’s bad but important firsts was the first car accident（事故）. Cars were still young when it happened. It took place in New York in May, 1896. A man from Massachusetts was visiting the city in his new car. At that time, bicycle riders were still trying to get used to（習(xí)慣） the new set of wheels on the road. No one was sure who was at fault（過錯）. Anyway, a bike and a car collided. The man on the bike was hurt. The driver of the car had to stay in prison（監(jiān)獄） 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.
