Can someone paraphrase this please!?

As we were arguing, a bicycle ridden by a man in his mid-thirties zipped past us revealing a kid no more than 5 years old sitting behind him. We watched as the bike zigzagged its tiny steel parts trying to avoid a car coming from the left and a suburban coming in fast from the right. We watched with our mouths dropping inadvertently. It all happened so fast. We thought they had ped both vehicles when we heard the suburban's brakes hit so hard it created skid marks on the road. Only one scream was heard. We got out of the car and ran up to the man. He was holding the back tire of his mangled bike; it had gotten loose when the big van hit them. The child was nowhere to be seen. A few feet away from the crash scene, an elderly woman was crying for help. The child was thrown in the air when the suburban crashed into the bike; he landed at least ten feet away from the crash site. I told my boyfriend to call for help. After a couple of minutes, we decided to drive the kid to the nearest village clinic. The doctor told us the kid probably has a sprained ankle and some bruises but no severe damage whatsoever. We went back to the intersection to tell the man where the child was and that he was going to be fine. We left after the man said his thanks.
