Default it usage
Who was injured in the accident?
1-It was two old men.

Is sentence number 1 an acceptable sentence in this context? I always just say 'Two old men' but I don't think there is anything wrong with 1

Not a teacher.

I don't know if it is grammatically correct, but that sounds like sentences that we use in speech here in Southern California.
