Police Officers Jennings and Lincoln were working a 4:00 p.m. to midnight tour of duty on Friday, December 5, when they were assigned to investigate a burglary. At 7:00 p.m., they were told to respond to 35-45 Grand Street, Apartment 1402, and to speak to the complainant, Ms. Phoebe Frost. Upon arrival, Officer Jennings interviewed Ms. Frost, who stated that when she returned home from work at approximately 6:10 p.m., she was unable to unlock her door because the keyhole had been stuffed with chewing gum. The building superintendent wasn’t home, so she had a cup of coffee at the diner on the corner. When she returned to the building, the superintendent had arrived home and was able to open the door for her. Once she entered her apartment, she saw that her TV and DVD player were gone, and her jewelry box had been emptied and was lying on the floor. She immediately left the apartment and called the police from the super’s apartment.
Officer Lincoln, who is qualified in fingerprint recovery, dusted the jewelry box and the front door in an attempt to recover any fingerprints that the burglar may have left. The officers also interviewed several other residents of the floor: Mrs. Lenore Caputo, who lives in Apartment 1404 next door to Ms. Frost; Ms. Frida Kalish, who lives in Apartment 1400 on the other side of Ms. Frost; and Mr. William Babbit, who lives in Apartment 1407 across the hall. None of the individuals had been at home during the day, and none had seen or heard anything unusual. Mrs. Caputo had come home earliest, at about 4:30 p.m. Ms. Kalish had returned at 5:45, and Mr. Babbit between 5:45 and 6:00.
At 4:30 in the afternoon on Saturday, December 6, Officers Jennings and Lincoln responded to Apartment 1514 in the same building on a call of burglary. The complainant, Ms. Lee Chung, stated that she left her apartment at about 2:00 to go shopping and run errands. When she returned home, she discovered that the lock on her apartment door had been stuffed with chewing gum. She found the super, who let her in. She discovered that her apartment had been burglarized. Her TV and DVD player were missing, along with her laptop computer, her answering machine, and her microwave oven. Officer Lincoln dusted for prints, focusing on the front door and a dresser, which had been left with its drawers ajar. The officers interviewed several neighbors: Mr. Stuart Lyon in Apartment 1512 next door, Mrs. Eunice Colón in Apartment 1516, and Ms. Petra Gruber in Apartment 1520 across the hall. Ms. Gruber had been home studying all afternoon but had heard nothing; Mr. Lyon had just returned from a trip to Washington, D.C., and hadn’t been home; Mrs. Colón had heard “suspicious footsteps” at approximately 3:00 p.m. but hadn’t seen anyone when she looked through the apartment door’s peephole.
At the precinct, Detective Melendez was assigned to investigate the burglaries. Three days after the second burglary, Mr. Allen Hunt of the fingerprint identification unit informed Detective Melendez that the prints matched those of Peter Reilly, whose last known address was 355 Gavel Street, Apartment 1705. Later that evening, after obtaining an arrest warrant, Detective Melendez arrested Peter Reilly for the burglaries.

Questions 47-49
To answer questions 47–49, use the information in the following passage.
Officers Scanlon and McCoy were in a patrol car when they were called to the scene of a vehicle/pedestrian accident at the intersection of 14th Avenue and Cavalcade Street. When the officers arrived at the scene, they saw that the injured pedestrian was being tended to by paramedics. Several people were gathered at the corners of the intersection. The driver of the car had parked to the side on Cavalcade Street. Officers in another patrol car began directing traffic, and Officers Scanlon and McCoy interviewed the driver and the witnesses.
The driver, Mr. Pierre Toulouse, said he’d been driving his Ford Taurus northbound on Cavalcade. As he neared the intersection, the light turned yellow; he’d just noticed this when the pedestrian ran in front of the car. Mr. Toulouse said he slammed on the brakes but was unable to stop. He said he wasn’t sure exactly how fast he was traveling, but was certain that it was no more than 30 mph. His insurance and registration were current, but his driver’s license had expired on his last birthday. Mr. Toulouse said he’d simply forgotten to renew it; a license check showed no outstanding violations.
Several of the bystanders said they’d witnessed the incident. Ms. Amy Presser said she’d been waiting at the southeast corner to cross Cavalcade. She happened to be looking south and saw the Taurus approaching the intersection. She stated that the car’s speed was “about normal” and that she’d seen the light turn yellow just as the car entered the intersection. She had not seen the pedestrian until the car began braking and struck him.
Mr. Augustin Lantos also had been waiting to cross Cavalcade but on the corner opposite Ms. Presser. He said he’d seen the Ford “out of the corner of his eye,” but he couldn’t tell how fast it had been traveling. He had seen the pedestrian approaching the corner; Mr. Lantos said the young man was running along the sidewalk, carrying a basketball.
The young man glanced both ways at the intersection but ran into the street without pausing. Mr. Lantos turned his head as the pedestrian left the curb and did not see the collision. Mr. Lantos said he’d seen young people jaywalking at this intersection many times, often headed for the basketball courts in the nearby park, and he had been “expecting something like this to happen one of these days.”
Mr. Ben Klein had been standing at the bus stop on the west side of Cavalcade, about midway down the block. He had noticed the Taurus as it went through the intersection of Cavalcade and 13th Avenue; he said the car seemed to be traveling at a moderate speed. His view of the collision was blocked by parked cars.
Ms. Nanette Guidry had left the deli at the southeast corner of Cavalcade and 14th Avenue shortly before the Taurus struck the pedestrian. She said the young man had brushed against her as he was running toward the intersection, and she was irritated that he didn’t apologize. She was about to cross 14th Avenue and had turned to the left to check traffic when she saw the young man being struck by the Taurus; she said that just prior to the collision, she’d seen the Taurus out of the corner of her eye, and it had been “flying along very fast.”
Before the paramedics took the pedestrian to the hospital, one of them reported to Officer McCoy. The pedestrian’s name was Lenny McGraw; he had a broken femur and possible internal injuries. He was conscious but unable to answer any questions.
Who was driving the Ford Taurus involved in the incident?
In which direction was the driver traveling?
How many people witnessed the accident?
