What was your worst car accident?



    




This Ain't Dallas, Sue Ellen
990,000 miles of commercial driving, who knows how many miles on personal vehicles, no accidents.

(And I'm damned proud of it)

My last day of high school - 2005.

My dad was driving our 1999 Ford F-150 Supercab on our way to dinner. It was about 5 o'clock on a sunny day. We were going about 30mph on the road to the freeway, when a woman driving a mid 90's Pontiac Grand Am crossed the centre line and hit us doing 55mph (20 over the speed limit).

Me and my dad ended up with cuts and bruises. My sister had suffered a head injury from hitting the back of the front seat. My step-mom ended up with 7 broken ribs, partially collapsed lung, and extensive brusing.

Obviously, the truck was totalled, and the lady that hit us ended up being MedFlighted out of there. Afterwards she ended up going to prison for reckless endangerment, driving without insurance, driving without a seatbelt, and driving under the influence of drugs.

The one that almost took my life and caused me to suffer for the rest of it... I will not start telling U all the problems. But I will tell you I was a massive alcoholic and was hit by a drunk driver . I got help before I ever took away from somebody Else's life quality like that. I blame it on the state , because there is a bar on every corner and the government gives little care to those without insurance, I have to pay a mint in office calls to get the medications I need to not hang myself in pain.

I was driving one of the work trucks with a trailer full of landscaping equipment, lady in front of me jammed on the brakes I couldn't stop quick enough. Hit the back of her SUV pushed the whole back panel in and blew out the window her SUV got trashed, the truck came out of it with a small bump in the hood right in the center it didn't even bend, good thing for Chevy trucks it was and still is a 1996 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 can't even tell it was in an accident except for the little bump in the very bottom of the hood. I pray never again. Good Luck

head on, a citroen BX pulled out onto the main road and stopped, facing me ! When he woke up in hospital he told the police "sorry, i was still sleep that morning". needless the say the police procecuted.

About 50 mph but the BX was unrecognisable. My SAAB wasn't drivable but at least you coudl tell it was a car. It pushed his car completely out of the way.

Since then, vowed never to have a small car.

Off-road I've rolled a rally car - about 2 hours after fitting a new engine, oh well.

My most FRUSTRATING crash was when a woman pulled across me to leave a motorway - left it far too late, spun my car. Swapped details on site , seemed ok. That evening she phoned me and said" I've spoken with my husband and decided i will lie about the crash and say you hit me" nice woman eh ?

I have had numerous crashes in my life. I rolled a SUV and landed in a creek hitting a tree. I hit a deer on my motorcycle and nearly broke my hip. I've been fortunate and walked away(maybe limped) from all!!
