Just 1. It was the loudest and horriblest bang I ever heard. We were all okay but my friend suffered a perferated eardrum that night.
We were going to Pluckly, to gost hunt.

@Matt85 Yeah car crashes definitely sound a lot different than the Hollywood movie version.
Scarier in real life.
Matt85 · 36-40, M
@CestManan Yeah it's just quick and LOUD.
TurtlePink · 22-25, F
I died in all of them

@TurtlePink Why do you keep getting evicted out of hell?

Yes 5 minor ones. The one last September was bad, totaled both cars. Had seat belt and airbag injuries. It was a week after I had surgery for adrenal gland removal and could have ended up causing internal bleeding but fortunately didn’t. The woman who caused it tried to get money from Go Fund Me by lying and saying it was not her fault and that my car landed upon hers. I have photos that prove otherwise. Someone who was a friend at the scene contacted her and she changed her story. Got no donations.

@cherokeepatti I remember that. I am glad you are okay.

Yes, my dad and I was on our way home from picking up my sister from the hospital. I was on the interstate and saw a person in 2 lanes over , start heading in my direction. It was like slow motion. I looked ahead of me and couldn't go faster because of a vehicle in front of me, and looked behind me and there was another vehicle. I somehow had time to say to my dad and sister to hold on, we're going to crash.

The ambulance came to take my dad and sister to the hospital for miner injuries but I wasn't harmed at all, even though the impact was on the corner of the drivers side. The ambulance guy was in shock that I didn't have any injuries and asked me how my legs were positioned. I had pulled them mostly out of the floor and over towards the passenger side. He said that's the reason I didn't have injuries. He said they teach race drivers to get in that position when they get into a crash. I say just reflexes. Lol He also thought it was strange that my blood pressure was on the low side. Not tipical of those who have just been in an accident.
Car was totaled.

3 none were my fault. One I broadsided a cop car.
@Degbeme guess the force wasn't with you when you hit that cop car

Like two as a kid. Both times my parents' cars were rear ended
Starcrossed · 41-45, F
Yes. The car was totaled. I was in the back seat with no seatbelt and we T-boned a guy who pulled out in front of us. My brother held me back from flying in between the front seats into the windshield. My shoulder hit one of the seats and it hurt a little but we were all okay.

Yeah 10 years ago
Yes, when I was 21. It was really bad. I took out a couple of traffic lights and was thrown from the car. I was in the hospital for 10 days with a fractured C2 vertebrae in my neck.

[@theotheracc] yes in 1981 when i was on a government traing scheme at a butchers was only a minor accident .cannot recall now i think we had been too a local slaughterhouse too get some meat and they where narrow country roads.the fellow driving was going a little fast and tried too avoid a tractor and we went up a banking to avoid it and we turned over in the van luckily neither of where hurt i had shock . i was talking too this guy early this year and i was ribbing him about that day he tried too kill us both and it came out it was his fault and lost his license

Yes as a passenger. My friend decided to show my gf and myself how fast his car could could go.(on labor day) I know we passed ninety on the speedometter,when a car started to make a slow left across a four lane road. Some of my GF's hairs were ended up embedded in the windshield,he thought he was having a heart attack b/c he hit the steering wheel so hard and I had a deep black and blue burn mark from the seatbelt.

The car was totaled but there was no permanent injuries
Yes. 😬 The last one I was in was because the tire blew out after I ran over a bolt. I hit a reflector on the side of the road…it broke the transmission. I was fine, but this was between cities, and it took a while for a tow truck to come.
The first car accident I was in was similar, but because of icy roads. I hit a reflector and broke the radiator. 😭 I was moving back to Nevada from Utah. I replaced that car after. It was old anyway.

No but I had a few motorcycle accidents as a teenager
CestManan · 46-50, F
Two. One side swiped and the other rear ended. No one was hurt, neither was real bad. Neither was my fault.

It is interesting how insurance typically gives more than the car is even worth. I think they base it's value on "excellent" condition as to avoid law suits.

Might explain why, after a wreck, people often end up with a nicer, newer car.

One, yes it was bad, I had trauma to my face and nose, teeth had to be removed. Been having nerve damage therapy ever since! I was alone in the car, which was probably a good thing.
Sidewinder · 36-40, M
No, but a friend of my father has.

My father was driving me home from school when I was about 9 or 10 and we saw his friend's truck overturned on the side of the road
Nelladell · 80-89, F
Been in an auto wreck, which, in this case, isnt saying I was in an accident.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@Nelladell we now longer call them an accidents, which suggests not preventable.
Nelladell · 80-89, F
@samueltyler2 God point.
RenFur · 70-79, M
Yep. Totaled my 240Z. No one hurt, though. Good thing I was blind drunk or I coulda been killed.
Havesomefun2 · 56-60, M
Yes my brand new car a guy on my side of the road hit nearly head on spun his car then landed upside down in a ditch
Yes... once... and there's still something about it that remains unexplained.
CJNature · M
I have been in some bad accidents. Thankfully, no accidents in over 12 years.
LilPrincess · 41-45, F

Close call on Thursday which could have been bad.

RedBaron · M
Several. I have been driving since 1980.
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
Only a couple of minor ones.
Guardian · 56-60, M
Yes, on Feb 7th. My car was written off.
ShaneMckay · 41-45, M
