Which are correct:
1-There was an accident and the people injured were taken to a hospital.
2-There was an accident. A man injured in the accident was taken to a hospital.
3-There was an accident. A man injured was taken to a hospital. ('in the accident' being implied)
4-There was an accident and a man was injured. The man injured was taken to a hospital. (Meaning: The man who got injured in the accident was taken to a hospital.) I know the repetition makes the whole thing sound bad but I am just testing the grammar of the sentence.
5-For me, when I am playing with friends a game lost is just like a game won. |

They are all correct. It depends on how you want to say it. Here are some minor edits.
1. There was an accident and the people who were injured were taken to a hospital.
3. There was an accident. An injured man was taken to the hospital.
4. There was an accident and a man was injured. The injured man was taken to a hospital.
