Do you have any crazy story's of accident that happened involving you or not? No death story's please, just wana hear what y'all have seen/ been through.. Pics are good
Here's mine:
Today on the way home a wreck happened right in front of me. A car goin like 45 hit this SUV and literally threw it in the air and it did 360's before slamming and falling into a ditch. I was right there so I ran and helped the guy and called the police. It was pretty bad, the guy passed out while I was there helping him and was taken away in an ambulance. I hope he's alright... The cop that came to the scene took down my name and asked me "is that your Jeep parked over there?" that's a nice jeep man. Lol

Some guy pulled out in front of me while I was going downhill, hit me on the passenger side pushing the while right side back a few inches and putting a series of waves in my hood, which in turn ripped his whole bumper off. my seat belt broke as I went forward, needless to say my car was totaled and I was beyond mad. He had a new hyundai, I was in my '84 firebird.

My wife was t-boned by an f-250 doing around 60mph. Pushed her across 4 lanes of traffic and into a ditch. She shattered her pelvis, punctured a lung, and broke 3 ribs. They had to life flight her 500 miles to Seattle.

This is my friends Discovery 2. He hit a WK going about 15 mph. WK had a scratch and some dents, His land rover is a different story. He couldn't get full coverage insurance because it was on a salvage title when he bought it, he's gonna spend about the whole value of the vehicle getting it running and drivable

I was driving down i5 heading to portland in a 02.5 jetta with a minibike in the trunk.. Next thing I know the pacifica to my left and in front of me blew the driver side rear tire throwing it into the suburban in front of me. Both cars took off in separate directions to opposite guard rails why me and every car behind me made it through.
pics of the first wreck :edit:




another one.. I loaned my cousin my car for a couple weeks.. one week into borrowing it (the said jetta above) he decided he would get drunk and do 130 and rip the ebrake.. (what the people in the car told me) officer confirmed that the speed of the vehicle was 130+. no one was wearing seatbelts but everyone ended up fine. other then one person had a shattered hip. shes ok now though



he got out of jail a year later.. its now 4 years later and he hasn't paid me one dime on the car. Insurance didnt' cover because he was drunk at the time of the wreck.

Driving one night in my 93' Taurus my best friend his cousin and I were driving home on a straight stretch of road and I wanted to see how quickly I could get it up to top speed (like 90 mph or so). It gets up there pretty fast btw. But when slowing down I hit a bump caught some air and locked up my brakes. Lost control when I hit the ground again, vehicle went sideways we were watching the oak trees passing in front of the car flew off the side of the road and amazingly the front tires must have hit the ground first, because somehow the car managed to flip around and the trunk hit the biggest tree.
We were extremely lucky because nobody was hurt at all, and all we had to do was change the back right tire and we all drove off.
This is after I banged out the dent a bit.

One day I was driving on a dirt road by my house when I saw a VW Golf come around a corner really hard. First I thought they were trying to drift, so I slowed down. They slid off the road right before a bridge down into a ditch at least 30 feet down. Landed on the roof half in the water. Both people inside walked out but the FD had to help them up since the walls were vertical sandstone

I was heading home one icy night about two years ago down a 2 lane (each way) road with a 55 mph speed limit. I'm about to go across a bridge. A suburban was coming the opposite direction and lost control on the bridge. There was about a 30 ft wide median between the two sides. The suburban missed the k rail and turned around 180 and slid up to the back of the metal guard rail. About 5 ft or so from the rail the tires bit and it started to roll. One of the rail supports slammed into the b pillar and kept it from going over. The passenger window got blown out. There was two people in it and if it had hit the support just 6" further the woman in the passenger seat would have been killed. I'm glad it didn't happen that way. Both walked away fine just shaken up.
Wish I had a picture

This happened about two weeks ago, a couple of blocks from my house. A new Jeep Compass run a stop sign, and was broad sided by an older minivan. The speed limit is 25MPH.
Note the jeep compass lying on it's side!
