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

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.

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:

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....
