Accident!
 

Well I finally got to witness an accident today! I always see them just after, or just hear them, but Ive never really seen one in person.

Adric and I were at a stoplight going straight today on the way home. I look over and see this blue van going into the left turn lane and I noticed its front wheel was not spinning, so I point and Im like YESSSS, look! And bam, hits the van in front of it. It wasnt anything major, just a little rear-ending, but that made my day, Ive always wanted to see one :D.

When we drove by and I glanced over the van that got hit seemed like it had no damage atall. I didnt see the van that lost control though. Gooodthing noone got hurt probably.. hopefully noone got whiplash.

nice. when me and my buddie were little. we were pretty young at the time. prob. around 11? and screamin we want some action. b/c it was one of those boring hot days and we were coming home from a good ways away from the house. and outta no where the car infront of us starts sterring left and goes into a ditch and flips a few times coming outta it. crazy stuff. lucky for the guy my mom and my buddies mom are nurses.

you guys are lucky

haha thats awesome!! i love accidents!! (dane cook) " i heard it so i came out!" lmao!!

Brian I seriously want to shoot you in the head for putting ! at the end of each statement.

haha yeah its a habit. i need to go to some special classes for it i think. i need to cut back. lol

haha good deal, anyone else got crash storys?

I rolled my pickup truck in 2005, doing about 62 MPH. Hit the gravel shoulder on the way into the city, and spun aroun backwards, slid sideways onto the opposite shoulder, and tumbled the truck four times. Truck landed on the wheels right side up, I was unscathed. Truck ran and drove afterward too. Passenger compartment looked untouched, the exterior looked like it had been in a tornado.

These were taken with my cell phone after the truck was towed to the dealership:

wow, it doesnt look too bad from how you described it. Youre lucky.

thats what i was thinking, Thats not too bad of damage at all!

The pictures unfortunately don't do it justice. Frame was twisted. Over $26,000 CAD in damage done to the vehicle. Considering the market value of the truck was only about $24,000 CAD, they wrote it off. Because it was a demo, they just paid back the dealership.

It was actually kinda fun though. If it weren't for that whole 'risk of dying' thing....

yeah that part kinda sucks i guess

Heres my wreck last year, i was pullin out from a parkin lot in my moms car and bam got nailed. It wasnt totalled but shortly after we got it back my mom wrecked it haha so she got rid of it after that.

wow! i cant believe that wasnt totalled. how much did it cost (the insurance company) to fix it?
