Was the vechicle totalled?What happened?Did you have mild bruising or hurt bad?This is a picture of my boyfriends truck 5 years ago,he was driving in the woods to go home and a transport driver had his C.B radio turned off and did not hear my boyfriend talking to say he was coming through on the snowy road.The transport driver took the wrong side of a turn and ran into my boyfriend.He had time to lay on the seat because he had no seat belt on and the steering wheel went through the drivers seat.He only had a sore foot from the door,lucky man!!The transport driver was fired because of other episodes before that.:)

I have been in two accidents in my whole life. In the first accident the car was totalled and the person at fault thankfully had insurance and so they had to pay for the damages that were done. Everyone that was in the car with me was fine no one was hurt severly, but we all went to the hospital to make sure that there wasn't any internal damages or anything that wasn't visible. The second accident that I had gotten into was minor, but the person at fault still had to pay out for the damamges that were done.

When I was very small, 7 at the oldest, the car that I was in with my family ran off the road and rolled all the way over in the big ditch there. Car was completely totaled, but luckily everyone was completely unhurt.

I was once in the car with my mother driving when somebody bumped us from behind! I immediately turned around and was shocked to see that it was my own father who was driving our second car! Of course we all ended up gigling, what else could we do!

My best friend and I were in an accident in the rain. The ground was wet and the breaks failed. The car excelerated straight into a tree. I still rember the song playing on the stereo, Shine. For the longest time I could not here it without going into tears. My best friend got her leg sliced open and a mild concusion. I can see the blood even now. I got a hair line skull fracture a concusion and glass in my head. I was driving and thankfully I could get out of the car but I had to walk for help because my friend had lost concesness and I could not get her out. We did not have permanent damage to ourselves but the car was totaled. The front end had been smashed into the back seat. The people who towed the car wondered how we made it out alive. The universe was on our side that day because neither of us had permanent damage and we have remained best friends.

One morning several years ago, after working the graveyard shift, I was driving home. I was almost there, just 5-10 minutes away from our house when I fell asleep. I woke up to a loud bang! I crashed onto a cement staircase and a garbage can. The front part of the car was wrecked. I wasn't hurt. I am so thankful to God I didn't bump into any person. I don't know how I could live after hurting someone that way.

Hi wisedragon.This happens alot.You must of been really burntout(tired)to have fallen asleep.There was a man here last week who feel asleep at the wheel of his Transport and totalled it.He was not even hurt alot only bruising.He said the same thing as you.He said he was lucky not to have hit anyone because it would of haunted him the rest of his life.

car crash - A picture of a car crash I was involved in
I dont drive but as a pasinger I have been involved in few car accidents. The firs major one was when I was 8 and that was a huge thing half the car was crashed my pregnant aunt almost lost her baby (It was also a week before her wedding). then I have been involved in few small once. But in 1999 we were waiting to get on the highway from a side street and it was pick trafick and this lady crashed into our car at 80km/h claimed that a bottle fell under the brake so she could not stop. Our car moved on the highway and it would have been much worse had we not stoped crashing into traffic (going 100km.h)

When I was 21 I went to Steer town, Ocho Rios to collect my niece. the minibus I was in ws hit in the back and I hit my head on the cross bar. I think that hit has affected my right eye and has caused some problems but overall we were all ok. Thank God!

This is quite funny, because only last night I was in the car with my husband and we came up to a set of traffic lights and a car smashed into another car right in front of us. We weren't involved but we parked up in a nearby petrol station and I ran to see if I could help in anyway. Being in Germany right now, I was pretty useless because although I speak some German, I'm not brilliant. As I ran over to the car containing an elderly gentleman, my heart starting pounding, because from what I can see, he wasn't moving. The two cars were in pretty bad shape, and I honestly panicked. I ran over, and fortunately, he was just shocked, and he wasn't injured badly. He was just in shock. My limited German allowed me to understand that the authorities had been called and my services weren't required, so my husband ordered me to get back into the car and we drove off. I must say, I was pretty thankful that nobody had been seriously hurt because it was a pretty bad smash, but I'm glad I at least tried to help when so many others would have just driven by, and quite a few did. I know this doesn't involve me personally, but I just thought I'd share this experience with you!

Hi missberlee.Ive been in this situation before.I start to feel panicky and want to help but am scared of the situation,but i tell someone to call help and go get back in my car.I almost passed out myself.It was not bad,its just the nerves setting in and adrenaline.
