My li'l bro had a vehicular incident today, actually.
Two instances:
Highway 17 towards Santa Cruz, 16 cars crashed and took out a whole section of the highway for about 5 hours. Two huge big-rigs initiated the whole thing and the cars behind it just slammed into eachother. Blood on the road, shattered glass everywhere.
The second time was more personal. My friends and I were driving behind my friend Tim... he rides a motorcycle and we were behind him to make sure he'd be okay since he didn't have any other biker friends yet. We were going up Highway 9... a very, very fun curvy road that extends into the Santa Cruz mountains... notorious for hardcore driving/biking fanatics as one of the best roads you can ever ride. He skidded at a 270-degree turn and crashed right into the small railing keeping him from plummetting over the side of the mountain. Thank God he was wearing his leathers... although most of them were burned off. The sight of blood was nauseating... he was in the hospital for a week before he was released and now he doesn't ride anymore.
Someone went to uni one time and talked about how she witnessed someone got hit by a bus and died on the spot that morning!
I saw one while i was riding a bus, there was a blind corner a driver didnt look out for and flat out turned into the main road only to be hit head on by an ongoing car, both almost hit a pole, it was nothing too serious but they were both lucky!
There are always some form of car accidents happening near our house, we're 2 mins walk from the main road so theres some form of breakdown or accident happening there!
I've been in one serious one, and one "huge pain in the butt" one.
The serious one happened about a year and a half ago. It was around midnight and I was in the car with my sister, my dad driving. We're just going along when this guy comes flying out of a sidestreet at around 80 mph. He tries to turn, but left, and we try to stop, but we were to close and we T-bone the guy.
We were going 60 mph and he was going 80 mph, so suffice to say, it was a pretty strong jolt. The entire hood of our Jeep Grand Cherokee was compacted to about half a foot in length. His truck, and old one made of steel, had a few dents. It ended with my dad having a fractured knee, my sister with cuts and bruises, and me with a bruised hip bone. The guy was drunk, twice the legal limit, and got sentenced to, I think, 15 years in jail.
It was pretty scary, to say the least.
I've crashed into a car five times, but none of them were serious.
Once, on the way home from school, I saw two cars that had smashed into each other. There was an abulance, with someone in it, and there was an guy in the driver seat of one car, being put into a neck brace.
It wasn't traumatising or anything, but it put stuff in perspective.
yesterday i was drivin on the freeway (with my mom cuz i only have a learners permit) and there was a pretty bad crash with 3 cars just ahead of my, i stopped in time and everyone in the crash was ok, but my mom smacked me, and i dont know why :mad:
When I was young I was involved in so many car accidents that I was utterly terrified to learn how to drive later in life. Luckily I was able to get over it, the worst accident I was ever involved in was a head on collision on a narrow, railless hillside, thanks to a speeding crack-addict I was driving with and a blind corner. Luckily, neither of us went over the side.
I've seen a few, but the most recent is probably the most interesting, although I didn't witness it, I was there a few minutes after. A man wasn't looking where he was going, and you know those road sweeper cart things? It ran him over. An air ambulance was there too, but he later died.
No, but there was a cool one on GTA:SA where the ambulance ran me over (for the the 54634th time).
Welcome to San Andreas: If the ambulances don't get you, the fire trucks will!
The fire trucks come after the ambulances, and unlike the ambulances, they stay on top of you until you die.
I've been in three car crashes. I can't remember the second all that well. But the first was when someone ran a red light and smashed into the side of our car and the third we hit a truck with the back corner of the car - it was a station wagon - so the boot door came flying off and we were sent spinning around and around on the highway.
I once almost got ran into by a huge brand new Dodge pickup when I was driving home in Oklahoma, and I had to swerve out of the way and hit a sign. Luckily the only damage to the car ended up being a broken signal light on the right side, and the bumper was one of those ones that like dents in and we were able to just push out the dent. When whoever was driving the Dodge saw me hit they just sped off as fast they could because they knew it was their fault.
I was in my mom's little Dodge Intrepid and the truck was an enourmous Dodge Ram...I seriously think at the speed if I'd of gotten hit I'd of been hurt pretty bad or even killed.
