Yes. My exhub and I were riding in my parents suv alond the backroads Oregon. We came across the scene and I yelled for them to pull over. People were just getting out of their cars and standing around. I approached the passanger first, he was the closest. His head had gone through the front window. He was unreponsive and unfortunately, twitching. He also weighed 400lbs if not more. I could not get him out of the vehicle to preform CPR and my husband was pretty much useless at this point. Which, its completely normal for most in this siuation. I ran to the driver's side where a guy, anywhere from 17-22 was trying despartely to get out of the car. He was in shock and trying frantically to manuver himself out, from behind the steering wheel and seatbelt, of the broken window that was still full of greusome shards of glass. His panick was increassing at incrediable amounts, that he had almost suceeded. I could see that both legs were fractured by the bones sticking out on each of them. What he was doing was only going to cause worse damage, so I freed him from the car and made him lay on the side of the road. He had not realized yet that they were broken. He was pleading and pleading to help his Dad. To make sure he was alright. He wanted me to go call his girlfriend and make sure his Dad didn't die. Finally, someone offered to help. I had them stay there and keep him down and as calm as possible. I went back to the father and tried anything and everything possible, until the firemen arived. They had enough men to pull him from the little car. They did what they could for him and when the chopper arrived off they flew him. The whole time his son was yelling at the top of his voice for his father to answer him. Apparently they had been watching a football game (it was Christmas) and had gone together to get more beer. The son was driving at an exceptional high rate of speed so that they could get back to the game. He ran straight through the stop sign and into an 8' embankment not even two car lengths, if that, away. No skid marks to be found. Fortunate for the boy he was wearing a seatbelt. Unfortunately the Father was not.

Many in the time I drove trucks over the road. For example, I saw a truck accident on I-35 southbound on the south side of Little Rock, Arkansas. The truck plummeted off a bridge, tearing the trailer in two. The cargo was spilled all over the muddy embankment below.......its cargo of Gateway computers!
Another time, I narrowly avoided being in a fatal accident. This was on I-65 southbound in northern Indiana about two years ago. I was on my return trip to Florida, coming from Chicago when I found myself in the company of two trucks - a empty flatbed semi and a semi tanker - which were driving somewhat erratically. I pulled into a rest area to take a break as they zoomed past. Some time later, I left the rest area to continue my southward trip when the traffic slowed, and after a little while we were routed off onto a service road along the interstate. The two trucks that zipped past as I pulled into the rest area had collided and were sitting in the median, and the whole area was burned to a crisp. As it turned out, the tanker was carrying a full cargo of jet fuel. Neither driver survived.

My sisters friend witnessed a speeding car slam into a tree. He pretty much watched the woman die while he waited for cops to show up. I've seen and been in a few minor ones.

nope but on a busy highway I saw some guy going about 50mphs skid onto the grass in rainy weather. the guy was sliding on his side and my cousin was like "dude holy $^%*" it was pretty funny considering the guy didn't get into an accident or anything. I wonder what was mixed in his "coffee"
