阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A

Beloved grandfather Juan Delvalle, 65, was driving two city middle-school students home in a standard-sized yellow bus on narrow Anthony Avenue near Echo Place at around 11:40 am, when he hit the illegally parked Chrysler Sebring, knocking off its mirror, officials and witnesses said.

“The owner of the car, Joy Scott, 30, came out and saw what happened and told the bus driver, ‘are you going to leave after hitting my car?’ ” said a deli worker. “The bus driver wanted to call the police, but instead, the owner of the car punched(以拳痛击)him twice.”

Delvalle fell backward, and his head struck the pavement and began bleeding, authorities said.

He was rushed to St. Barnabas Hospital with serious head wound. Listed in dangerous condition, he was later upgraded to stable.

Meanwhile, Scott, who has a long rap sheet(判刑记录), fled like a coward, officials said.

“Devalle gets up at 3:30 am every day for work,” said his sad brother, who lives with him. “He was talking about planning to retire.”
