Reading Past simple and contin

As I was approaching the bend, I saw a bus. It was coming from the opposite direction.

I was going around the bend when I saw an orange sports car. It was overtaking the bus and coming towards me!

I was driving north along the London Road. The road was clear, and there was a bend in the road in front of me.

I went off the road and crashed into a wall. Luckily, I was wearing a seatbelt and I wasn't hurt.
