i was driving a truck (semi, 18wheeler whatever you want to callit) i was going 65mph on a 2 lane road when i had a front tire blowout when the tire the big *** peice of rubber tore apart the hood broke the power steering box and broke air lines so when it blew i had nothing to work with i was along for the ride the wheel cut hard to the right i went off the road took out 2 power poles and 200+ feet of fence and then it layed over on its side and dumped 55,000 pounds of soybeans all over the road and shoulder . it wasnt my fault the guy who owned the truck had a retread put on it i didnt check it cause he had told me it was a new tire so it wasnt my fault and the owner of the truck was sewed by the state and the land owner and over all he lost about $200,000 dollars for truck, trailer,load asphalt damage,fence,powerlines and damage to another car

I was 18 at the time... I'm now 22.. and I used to live in the Texas Panhandle which is known for tornadoes.. I was driving down the highway from one town to a bigger city. It was just raining a lil bit, enough for the windshield wipers to be going but not bad enough to pull over and let it pass. As we were listening to the radio they said there was a tornado spotted in the town we were about to pass through. All of a sudden it started pouring raining and hailing. I of course got scared bcuz it just happened so fast and couldnt really see. My friend is yelling and screaming so I am trying to pull over to the side of the road. Before I knew it I had ran over 3 roadsigns. One of the signs I had ran over hit not only the front but the back of my car. We waited for the storm to pass and got out to see the damage. The whole front was smashed and there was a huge gash in the back. Needless to say.. I do not drive in the rain anymore!! I will stay where I am at or let someone else drive.

I was 7 mo pregnant and drove through the front of a CVS pharmacy (my blood sugar dropped too low and I blacked out-Diabetes) knocked down almost the entire makeup dept. but didn't feel too bad someone had driven through the other side of the store the week earlier and had taken out the photo lab

I raced circle track a few years ago, and about 3 car lengths after exiting a corner, I was hit from behind by another car. Running about 75 mph, my car spun sideways & hit the concrete retaining wall head on.
Thanks to my safety harness, roll cage, and the flagmen I was able to walk (limp?) away.
