Worst Accident You Have Been In?

[RTShadow]

Driving: had on older model mustang, driving really late one night, can't quite remember if I fell asleep or if I just got caught with tunnel vision but I ran off the road on a sharp curve, jumped a ditch and plowed thru the back side of a retaining wall, catching the axle on the top of a railroad tie used to hold up the wall, ripping the rear wheels and part of the tranny right out from under the car. Thankfully I had my seat belt on, my passenger was in the backseat laying longways across sleeping, he hit his head pretty hard. :banghead: Don't eat greasy fast food when you are REALLY tired then try to drive an hour to get home.

Riding: 4 years old, standing in the back seat (in the days when no one cared about child safety seats and all that), drunk parked his pickup in the middle of the road over the top of a hill, gravel road, our car went sideways, the door went in and carved up the side of my head, plunged into the seat where I would have been strapped in if I'd had my seatbelt on. One of those rare occasions where NOT wearing a seat belt saved my life (I always wear it now though, that was just pure dumb luck). 24 stiches, mild concusion, lots of crying :boink:

I bring this up because my roomate and I were just talking about this while we looked at some of the accident pictures in another post, and I realized I have never been in an accident where the vehicle rolled or flipped.

meh... the worst i've ever done is fishtail my VN commodore into a gutter and smack the rear axle sideways 3 inches. repaired it in a week and sold it, haven't crashed since.

I have never had an accident of 3 years of driving and 50,000 miles.

[clutch-monkey]

that's no good. buy a beater and go crash it somewhere.

I have never had an accident of 3 years of driving and 50,000 miles.

That's pretty good, for being a fairly new driver. Maybe my most heartbreaking 'accidents' if you can call them that, are due to freaking deer. 1989 Lebaron GTC convertible, hit a deer, just blew the front end to pieces, air bag deployed, I remember thinking to myself "how the f*** did that deer get into the car and kick me in the face??? (top was down) Airbags aren't pillows, that is for sure.

Then spent about 3,000 completely rebuilding a 1991 Shelby Daytona IROC, bought it for 190 bucks at a police auction, hit hard behind driver's door, engine ran great, tranny needed a new clutch cable. Took a month of body work to get it back into shape and repainted, etc, only to hit two deer with it over a 6 week period 2 months later.

I freaking hate deer with a passion, they are a menace. Open season year round no limit any weapon, I say. There are so many of them now due to the lack of natural predators.

Oh, and I almost forgot, 87 Turbo Sundance, minimum maintenance country road, light rain, going only about 25 mph, and I hit a FREAKING COW! In my defense, the cow was black. I'm not a racist, I just didn't mean to hit him, he came out of the ditch and pretty much ran into me ripping off my mirror and denting in my fender. Oh and he crapped all over the side of my car. Went out the next day to see if the cow was okay, he was walking around with a limp, other than that he seemed to be good. Never heard from his insurance company though :D

[clutch-monkey]

lol, you just reminded me, i hit a kangaroo a few weeks back. they're like deer but more numerous and just as stupid when it comes to headlights, and really fuck up your car... but wombats are the worst. those fuckers are like upholstered cinder blocks.

Haha, when I hit the second deer, a buddy of mine said "You have those deer whistles on your car, don't you?" and I was like "hell no, those things don't work", and he said "Oh, I thought maybe you put them on backwards".

I thought that was funny as hell. Of course that led to discussions of deer, eating peacefully in the woods, hearing my car coming and the backwards whistles, ears perking up, head turn, deer runs at full speed right at my car haha. I swear I think that's what happens on that highway. Deer seem to just want to commit suicide.

[pat99872]

There have been a couple of occasions when I almost ran into fucking deers. I usually see their eyes reflecting the light or see them crossing the street in big herds. That's why I avoid speeding on back roads.

I was just thinking about the time I crashed. I went offroading in humvee with a couple buddies once. I radio'd in to my buddy John on the other side of the island for him to come meet me at the beach, and whoever gets there second buys all the drinks.

I got in the driver seat, and everyone else buckled up and grabbed on to something. I floored it, went full speed through dirt, water crossings, bushes, and caught some air going over some pretty rough hills.

We were havin a blast, honking at everyone on the path to get out of the way. Then suddenly I saw an enemy tank pull up around the airfield. That's when I knew it was time to stop playing around.

I took a hard right into the first path I saw, without thinking that there were 3 other people in the car. The tail of the car whipped out, the car spun around in a 360, and then started to roll on its side.

We were going way too fast for any of us to bail, and all we could do was hang on tight. We saw smoke steaming out of the engine, and felt the heavy metal body crumpling at every hit.


Then we stopped tumbling...


...yet it was far from over.


The path I had taken led us only to the edge of a cliff. The car freefalled, and as it turned over we could see that we were in for a long drop.

BAIL was the only word I could think of. My buddy Paul in the passenger seat and I were able to deploy our parachutes in time, saving us from any severe damage. My friend Eric, could not pull his cord in time, and David never made it out of the truck.

KRRRROOOOOOOOMMMM. We heard the blast from the truck, and knew that was it for David. We shouted for Eric, but knew when we saw his bloodied and motionless body that he couldn't make it.

I radio'd in to John to pick us up as we made our way to the beach. We walked for over an hour, only to see John's truck in pieces on the side of the road...

All of this was in Battlefield 2, of course

I've been driving for a year and nothing serious has happened... yet. Well one time I had to drop off brother's car to a shop and my sister in law went on another car to give me a ride back. So we're driving and on one intersection, green light for us, a firetruck pulls out and turns on the siren in the middle of the intersection. There was another car in front of me, he slammed on his brakes and stopped in front of the firetruck. I stepped on the brakes and stopped right behind him. But my sister in law didnt make it and rear-ened the car I was driving. I was driving a 2000 civic and the back had to be pulled out cuz it was smashed. She was driving a 2000 camry and we only needed to change the front bumper and the grill. So yea, family thing, no police involved, not looking toward any accidents soon, or at all.

some black WOMAN was on a turning lane and decided to turn in front of me. i clipped her rear bumper just barely. she then fled the scene and i was unable to turn because of all the traffic. this being my first 'accident' i was somewhat nervous and paranoid, and it was made worse when the next day some cute blonde CHICK hit me while coming out of the parking lot. you see, i was on the outskirts of the parking lot deciding which row to go into to actually find a parking space and i guess she didn't see me and turned right into the exact same place where i had hit the day before. this happened last week and the nervousness and paranoia have almost completely worn off, i noticed that i was becoming very uneasy at stop lights, like when the light turned yellow i would hit the brakes immediately, even if i had enough time to make it past. god i hate that feeling, but its all better now.

The most serious accident I've been in was passing through Montana last summer. It was about 9:30 at night, and I was on a relatively straight stretch of freeway doing about 80 MPH. A deer ran across the two lanes and right in front of me, so fast I had no time to react. Luckily, VERY luckily, he kept running, so I only nailed his hip with the right front corner of the car. I pulled over and backed up to where I had hit him, but he was going. Thankfully I caught a good amount of fur in the nosemask so I had some evidence when the trooper arrived. It was $2,700 to fix, and I wasn't injured, but it was still scary.

Oh, and to add insult to injury I had only had the car about a month. It was my first new car.

Here are some pics, keep in mind I was over 80 MPH and the time of impact:

[ThePope#15]

Got t-boned by a foreigner, going about 30mph I think. It was weird, it was just like bumber cars at theme parks.

Second post in car forum FTW!

[Lachrymose]

I have never had an accident of 3 years of driving and 50,000 miles.

Same for me. Except it's been about 12 years and countless miles.

I've had a few bumper tappers, one to me and one by me..hardly can be called an accident though.

There have been a few close calls, however.
