Freak Accident Feature

The information below has been provided by a Tustin police officer. You’re a reporter for the Orange County Register and will be writing a feature story of 375 to 400 words for immediate publication. There is no right or wrong way to begin this story. It is a feature, so you don’t need to write a direct or hard news lead. Rather think of the most interesting way to start. This is a people story. Make good use of the many interesting and colorful facts. Your paper need to follow this rule, the first paragraph of every assignment is called the lead. We will review the lead in upcoming lectures. It is important that the lead be no longer than 35 words. Subsequent paragraphs should not exceed 40words. We can allow you to exceed these limits by a word or two but think of them as generally firm rules.
