Answer 1

Too many to list, but here's goes some...

Single Vehicle Accident approx. 1971, 1963 VW Beetle hits ice on corner, me in back seat, brother and riend in front, travelling approx. 50-55 mph(80-90kh), rolls 4-5 times over the snow bank, car stops when fence post plunges through small oval rear window, stays on roof...I had no seatbelt and it felt like I was in a dryer tumbling, face first to the roof, face down to the floor, back against roof, face against seat...etc etc...Everything was slowed as it happened, when the car stopped, I was laying on my back on the roof of the car. I seemed uninjured and when I looked beside me, the fence post had come through the window and literally ripped my coat off as it caught it somehow. I had to finish tearing it off to get away. The post missed me by 1/2 inch, would have pierced and/or crushed me. No injuries.

Two vehicle accident, 1979, GMC Jimmy I was travelling in as passenger in front was t-boned by a 1970 Buick going anywhere from 40-60 mph. Buick drilled drivers door square on, plowing us nto a ditch beside the highway. The force drove my brother(no seatbelt) into me(wearing belt) and it was like being tackledby Lawrence Taylor. His forehead/temple hit me in the left shoulder and he continued to move with the force against me while my belt held me in. Rt. sideof my head smashed against the passenger window, breaking it. My brother somehow ended up with his haed against my door and both legs out the front windshield. He ended up with a ruptured eardrum, dislocated left hip where the driver door was plowed into him, 28 stitches to sew his bottom lip back on, a shattered left tibia and fibula, broken left ankle, and a severely broken right thumb. I had a fractured clavicle from his head hitting my shoulder, three broken ribs on my right side, and contusions and lacerations to my head and face where I put out the window.
The driver of th Buick was a 21 year old female driving impaired, no seatbelt, who died 2 days later from massive head and internal injuries.

Two vehicle accident, 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner I was in sideswiped a 1975 Corvette Stingray we were racing on a local highway. We made contact to the driver's side of the Vette when he swerved to 'scare' us into not passing him. The RR careened off the Vette at approx. 140 mph(230 kh) and flew over the left shoulder of the road, landed in a field and proceeded to roll sde to side 3-4 times and end over end twice. I ended up watching the two end over end rolls from where I had been thrown out of the car. Then I blacked out. I awoke in hospital with a half body cast which was there to hold my right arm to the shoulder and the shoulder to my body and to stabilize 5 broken ribs, a fractured sternum, and 3 compression fractures in my upper spine. My eyes were blackened, my teeth had ben driven through the side of my cheek, and I had ruptured not only my right kidney, but my right testicle as well. My friend Steve, who was driving, is only a memory. The guy driving the Vette managed to stop his car without crashing, but after an investigation by the police, was charged with vehicular negligence causing death and was acquitted after I testified that I couldn't be sure that he swerved his car into our path on purpose.

I have a couple more but e-mail me if you need more info.

God Bless and thanks for reading.

Answer 2

1 car accident. I got t-boned by a semi hauling milk going 55 in a 35 mph zone, he was at fault. I totalled my car, I had serious injuries. I broke all of my ribs on the left side, damaged a kidney, had a collaped lung, broke an ankle and had 50 stitches in my forehead.

Answer 3

I've been in five: in three I was driving and rear ended by people not paying attention; in one I was on a high school soccer trip and our team van got rear ended by an old lady; in one my friend was driving and her tire blew out and we spun across two lanes on the freeway (so scary!).

I also know one person, a friend from Jr. High, who died in a car accident when he was 18. He would be 25 now.

Answer 4

I was in a hit and run 2 years ago. I was going through a green light and a guy going the opposite direction decided to turn and ran me into a telephone pole before he drove off. $4000 dollars worth of damage. We were lucky, because he missed knocking us head first into the phone pole by about an inch the police said, and that might have killed us.

Answer 5

It was my fault it was my first time driving alone in snow and so i accidently rear ended a woman... well i pulled over to the side like you're supposed to do but she went ahead and pulled into a nearby driveway... i was unexperience in this departn\ment so i got out and checked the damage on my car.. it was sooooooo awfull so what i did is i drove to my friends house who i was picking up for school and it was less than a block away... i called my mom and told her my anitfreeze was leaking and my car could blow up if i drove it soo my friends mom drove us to school... later cops contacted my parents telling them i had to come in to get my ticket for having a hit and run ... oops!
