hello fellow chrome domes: when was the last time u were in a car accident... i thought about this post when i was involved in a car accident last night.
thankfully... the woman that rear-ended me agreed 2 pay 4 the damages. also... no one got injured. basically... the only thing that got injured was my rear bumper. i got an estimate this morning and called the lady in which she will pay for the damages. it's just a big inconvenience but thankfully no one got hurt.
so... how 'bout u? when was the last time that u were in a car accident? what happened? were u fortunate enough that no one got injured? what's your story?

I was in an accident last weekend. Like you WH, I was rear ended. The estimator for the lady's insurance came out and it looks like it's going to be several thousand dollars to repair. Apparently they have have to replace the bumper cover along with the entire bumper core including the hitch. They also have to redo the exhaust since she bent the exhaust pipe.

About a year ago. I was at fault, in a hurry, took a left turn too sharply. First at fault accident since high school.

Been 10-11 years ago Hawk, I rolled a large bucket truck at 50mph. Not my fault but it hurt just the same!

ABout 3 1/2 years ago I flipped my car over and totaled it. My fault.... I ran a stop sign (accidentally) and was t-boned on the back end. SUV flipped right onto the roof and slid about 50 feet..... it wasn't pretty.

November 2005. I was coming back to Sarasota from Saint Augustine making the merge from I-95 to I-4 and took it JUST a bit too fast in the rain. Rolled and totaled my brand new Ford Ranger Edge PU. I had bought it only 28 days earlier. Crawled out with nary scratch. Thank God for seat belts!

January of 2007 I was involved in an accident. I was approaching a "jog" in the road and I had no stop sign and the right of way. A van ran a stop sign that intersected at the jog and I T-Boned him. It totalled out the front of my truck. Air bag dust...is nothing fun to breathe in. I did not recieve any injuries other than a sore body...at least so I thought. It wasnt until I was in Haiti on a mission trip that my right leg , hip and all up the right side of my back started hurting really bad. I had compacted everything together when i was applyin the break when I hit him. Was not a fun flight home from Haiti.

Almost 15 years ago. I was driving to work and a lady pulled out of a parking lot right in front of me and I t-boned her in her back door. To my horror I could see the little girl in the child seat as I was heading for her. Luckily no-one was injured but instead of worrying about her daughter the lady yelled at me for hitting her. The cops had to restrain her and she got a ticket for not yielding the right of way. How dare I be driving on the road when she wanted to pull out!

January, 2008. Lady failed to merge until it was too late (not that those merge signs all over the place for the last mile or so of the road really mean anything....). She tried to pass an 18-wheeler on the shoulder, cut it too close and clipped its fender, lost control and came zooming over into the oncoming traffic. That was me.
Six-car insurance seminar, and my poor little Accord was DOA.
25 stitches in the middle of my forehead. But hey, now it's my new SLY scar! -

About 25 years ago. I went to sleep, hit a bridge guard rail and totaled a Suburban. Not one scratch, bump or bruise. God took the wheel, there is no other explanation.

Oh :: Wait a minute.. I don`t know if this counts.....but a coupla years ago i went under a low railroad bridge with one of our large company box trucks......
Shaved the top of the truck off ...The entire roof was laying on the road.....And the dumb thing about this was as i was on the side of the road pickin up the pieces a bigger truck went under the same bridge 10 minutes later and almost the entire box was ripped right off ...........That made two of us that day who could`nt read the big warning sign posted before and on the bridge..................

July 2000 .... Coming off the highway through a green light and another car barrelled through his red light and hit me head-up going about 40. Spun 360 (or so) degrees and somehow went off in a safe direction (lots of very unsafe things avoided somehow). Re-hurt my neck (3 herniated disks from old weight lifting injury), but that got better after a few months. Just glad I lived through it.

7 years ago, i was driving a black 95 thunderbird supercoupe. I made a left-turn and a pickup truck pulling an empty twin-axle car carrier blew through the light...a near T-bone but he swerved at the last minute. It hit my car so hard that it turned it up on its drivers side. The truck was a full-size 98 Silverado and the crash took off the front bumper, grill, driver's fender and all the driver side front suspension including the wheel on the truck. The trailer he was pulling stayed attached but flipped over and was dragged about 200ft. We were all lucky, the driver of the truck broke his nose, 2 front teeth and his left leg (no seat belt + air bag = bad). I had 2 broken ribs and a torn bicep on my right side and a burn on my left leg from the airbag deployment. All involved vehicles were totalled.
