Have you ever been in a car accident?

Question

If yes, were you or anyone else hurt? (Hopefully not!!)

Answer 1

Several.

One was very bad for me. Had to have two sugeries and my left hand will always have two screws in it and a visual scar. I'm fine now but it sucked for about 4 months while I was going through all that and the physical therapy. The other driver was charged and I did get a sweet new ride out of the deal so its all good.

Answer 2

I was riding with my cousin in his Ford EXP...a two-seater...with two friends in the back...

My cousin ALWAYS drove FAST, and slammed on the brakes at the last second when stopping.

Well, we're driving down the road, going over an overpass...I had just opened a Coke when I noticed that there was a red light, and a pickup directly in front of us, and there was no way Cuz was going to be able to stop in time. I had a split second to turn a little in the seat so as to brace myself and *CRASH*

...he rear-ends the pick up! Half of my Coke is on the windshield, I look at Cuz...he's frozen - hands locked at '3' and '9'..."My car! My car!" He says. I hear a voice behind me mumbling "Mmmm dmmm mmp mmp." I turn around, and my one friends face is wedged between my seat and the door. "What?" I ask.

"Mmmm dmmm mmp mmp!"

I tilt the seat up. "Put the seat up!"

No one was hurt. We get out and the front of Cuz's car is fooked!! The lady is out of her truck, she's fine, her truck has not a scratch. The cops come, she leaves, Cuz's car won't start, so he pries open the hood, which is mashed UNDER the fascia...I tell him thta's not a good idea. He does it anyway. Nothing. He closes the hood. After a bit the car starts, and runs just fine. But it looks like hell!

We get going home, and he gets on the expressway. As soon as he merges into traffic *SMASH!* - the hood pops open, and back against the windshield. Immeadiately, he leans down and looks through the little vents in the hood.
He looks over at me while pulling onto the shoulder, "I learned this from watching 'Knight Rider!' (Did I mention that this was in the late '80's, early '90's?)

His mom didn't let him hang around with us after that. We were "bad influences"...HE was the terrible driver!!

Answer 3

Yes I have been in two accidents. One was in little Toyota and I was with my mom and a car hit us in the side. my mom was OK and I was tender form the seat belt cutting into me from the impact. The other one was a bus accident. we were heading down the road I live on and a sports car came flying over a hill and the car went under the bus. A girl had a cut on her head form hitting the dash board. Other then that everyone was fine.

Answer 4

About 10 years ago. My almost future daughterinlaw and I were on our way to see a Clint Eastwood movie and it happened 1 block from my house. A big pickup truck ran a stop sign and she swerved to miss it but it hit on my side and we spun around and ended up off the road in front of an emergency vehicle station which was cool. Her car was totalled but we didn't have any broken bones just bruises from the seat belts. If we had not had our seat belts on, one or both of us would have been hurt real bad. I actually felt the seat belt pull me back down in my seat when impact occured.
The guy driving was from out of town driving a family members truck and he wasn't hurt.

Answer 5

Ive been in 12 accidents I was hurt 3 times, yes several others have been hurt. I would not recommend it.

Answer 6

Yes I have been in two, the first I was around 7 or 8 and my mom and brother got really bad chemical burns from the airbagt and cuts from the seatbelt. The second one happened a few weeks ago and My mom, my brother and I all just got really bad whiplash and have messed up backs. Nothing too serious though, Thank God!

Answer 7

I had a crash, yes. I ordered a brand new BMW, paid £38,000 ($75,000), waited 6 months for it to be built and only had it 3 months before a van smashed into me after jumping a red light at a crossing.

Smashed the front of the car up nicely, I walked away with mild whiplash & that's it. Glad it was BMW, they're safe cars.

Answer 8

Yes, I went through the windshield of a car but I only had a concussion and of course some very sore muscles for a few days. Hard headed I guess! lol

Answer 9

Three weeks ago - had an older gentleman not paying attention to his merge and he t-boned the passenger side of my car (just got it back). - no one injured
10 years ago - had a 2-ton pickup t-bone my little Honda Accord (pushed me across two lanes of traffic). - no one injured
16 years ago - hit ice, rolled a Buick 6 x's and landed on the roof - yeah, injuries - passenger cut her head on the dome light when "something" pulled her into the back seat (saved her life). I spent 5 hours in surgery, 5 days in the hospital (tore up my knee pretty bad). But survived

Couple before that, but too young to really remember.

Answer 10

Yes. I was injured. Minor injuries. Lacerations to arm that required sutures. My upper body hit the roof of the car and my right arm and head hit the side window shattering it. I was lucky. The two other passengers were fine with no injuries.
