Car accidents

sharse your storys about your car accidnets here and pics

The only major car accident I was in was when I was a little baby back around 83. Some woman ran a red light and slammed into my mom's Lincoln. We weren't hurt, but of course my mom was freaking out about her baby.

And I've had 2 minor ones right after I got my license last year. The very first day I went out I side-swiped my dad's car when I was pulling into the driveway. I mis-judged the space between his car and the tree. And I panicked and kept going putting a huge scape and dent in the side of his car. $2000 worth of damage to his car. My car just needed paint (which I still haven't had done more than a year later). For 6 month afterwards whenever both vehicles were in the driveway, I made my dad or mom park my car. Lucky for me I never had to pay for the damage to my dad's car. A used car dealer wanted his car so badly they took it as it was and just gave him $2000 less for it.


Two days later I was driving home from work and lightly rear-ended a lady at a red light. Apparently I didn't start slowing in time. No damage to either one of our cars. She was real nice and understanding about it. The police came and I got a WRITTEN WARNING for following too close.

What really boils my blood is that I could've avoided this whole accident if I had left work on time. I got out of work at 2PM. I cashed my paycheck at the service desk and then went to the bathroom in the Food Court. When I came out I saw a friend of mine was beginning his lunch break, so I sat there and began talking to him. I stayed there talking with him for his entire lunch break. So by time I left work it was really later than it should've been. If I had left work on time I would've never crossed paths with that woman.

I've only been in one.  It was back in 2003, I was on lunch from work and on my way back, and this old guy turned left into a gas station in front of me and we hit head on.  His van spun around and landed on the curb.  The police cited him for failure to yield, and actually took him away in the cruiser because he was driving with expired plates.  I'll just say that the seat belt saved my life.  If I hadn't been buckled in, I probably would have died.

Same here, if I wansn't wearing my seat belt, I'd be dead.

damm   pepole need to learn to drive

[beachgal26]

I wish that truck drivers would learn to follow the rules of the road.  While I was in an accident in 1971, my daughter has been in 2 in less than 10 years.  The first was when a senior citizen pulled out into oncoming traffic, never looked once and caused a 8 car pile-up and then just drove away.

The other was a few years ago when a tractor-trailer pulled in front of her and her car plowed underneath and she was pulled to safety.  It took her 3 years to get behind the wheel again and still cannot drive next to a truck (nor can I) on the highway.

In each of these cases, the accident was caused by a cop (did I mention that in my case, he ran the red light??), a senior citizen and a truck driver.  While each case was different, each time the driver was not held accountable and no fabulous settlement (like you always hear about on the commercials by the ambulance chasers) was ever awarded to any of us.

Sorry to sound like sour grapes, but each of those accidents still makes me mad that our system won't truly go after the one who "caused" the accident.

I sure hope that you were OK afterwards, "unidentified driver of the Focus"!

[C. Fontaine]

Haha yeah, actually I stumbled out of it with only burns from the airbag!

[Ameskid]

I haven't actually been IN a car wreck, but I was up-close and personal with one just about 3 hours ago.  I was playing in the parking lot of an abandoned travel agency and heard a HUGE "CRASH".  I quickly looked at the side of the building facing the street; what I saw was horrifying.  A black Dodge Stealth (one of my favorite cars..sniff)  had run a stop sign and plowed into a Jeep Grand Cherokee's rear fender.  The Cherokee then flipped over only 1 or 2 times, landing on its roof.  As soon as I saw it I knew what I had to do.  I ran home as fast as I could, barged in the kitchen door and yelled to Mom to call 911.  The driver of the Stealth was probably at fault, and since he was teenage, he will probably have his license suspended (Ohio law).  The tiny amount of damage to the Dodge compared to the damage to the Jeep is amazing.  The lady driving the Cherokee was OK, but received a gash in her leg.  And yes, I got plenty of pictures!  :insane:
And one of the first things that I noticed was that the Jeep's airbag didn't even go off!!!

Wow! I definitely want to see those!  This isn't a car wreck but we had some crazy thunderstorms here in Providence today.  Here's the scene off the Admiral St. exit on 146.  Believe it or not the water was actually higher, engulfing the entire parking lot next to Dunkin Donuts!

I ahd two bus incidents recently.

My bus was going down a very steep hill with a sharp turn at the bottom.  I don't think the driver slowed down enough, and in a few seconds we heard a noise like a blown tire.  We pulled over, but all the tires were intact; we then discovered that we'd broken a front spring.  It got erepaired, though :)

My 1992 Nissan Stanza was rear-ended by the driver of a Dodge Ram who had a heart attack in 1996.

In Sept. /2000 My brother was driving my car  (an 85 Sunbird) on Rt 61 in Pottsville,Pa (Schuylkill County). It's  was after midnight and he was hit by one our Ames drivers.  I looked down the road and there was an Ames trailer off the road. I loved that car!  My brother broke his nose, he hit his nose off the dash.  Other than that he was ok.

[darkmoon9]

In 12/2004 I had one with my 95 chevy s-10. On the same road just about 6 or more miles north.  I was turning onto a side street when I was hit (just passed my back wheel).  I had my mother in the truck at the time,she had some back pain, but was ok.  The funny thing about it was my Brother accident happen by a Getty Station and mine also happen at the other Getty Gas staion .
