The first recorded accident of a self-propelled vehicle is often claimed to have been in France in 1771, when Joseph Cugnot's steam gun carriage is said to have gone out of control and demolished part of a wall.

Read this: "Because of Ohio's important role in the early automobile industry, the state was the site of numerous firsts in automobile history. Among these firsts was the first automobile accident. In 1891, James William Lambert was involved in the first automobile accident in world history. The accident occurred in Ohio City, Ohio. Lambert's vehicle -- the first single-cylinder gasoline automobile, which was carrying Lambert and James Swoveland, hit a tree root, causing the car to careen out of control and smash into a hitching post. Injuries from this accident were minor. Lambert proceeded to patent over six hundred inventions, mostly affiliated with the automobile industry."

Neil's bang on! The very first self-propelled carriage in the world ever was also the first one to have a bump.
Not surprising really, ever driven in France?
