A few days later, driving to work, he lost control of the car, hit a telephone pole and banged his forehead against the windshield. Ten days later he again lost control of his car and hit a pole. Found unconscious, he was hospitalized for three days with a cerebral concussion.<br/>On March 29, 1971, Jim borrowed a friend’s station wagon and drove to Kennedy Airport to pick up Anne’s brother.

Why did Jim borrow a friend’s station wagon?<br/>At 11:15 p.m. Anne called the owner of the station wagon; he had no idea why Jim had not yet reached home.
