Ever been involved in a car crash...

[Circadia]

Or seen one?
I was involved in a car crash this morning, Horrible experience which i never want to go through again! We were going across a mini roundabout and was half way across when this silly woman came at the side of the car full pelt and crashed into the side of my mums car. She said she looked which she obviously didn't.. Anyway, Have you ever been involved in a car crash or seen one?

Silly ******* car :')

No, but I've seen one occur right infront of me.

My dad was driving me to the station, and it was quite early in the morning, and the man who was driving infront of us obviously fell asleep at the wheel, and he swerved from the fast line into a road sign by the side of the road at about 80 mph, only narrowly missing another car.

Scary stuff.

Nope i've not been involved in a car crash. I've not seen one either.

Yeah it is scary even seeing one, i was in shocked for about 1/2 hours after it happened but i still went into school :')

I've never been in one but I have seen one. I was walking down my road on the way to school and this car was turning out of a small side road. Just as it was turning out another car with two lads in came through the no entry and smashed right into this other car. The car that got hit ended up the pavement on the side of the road I was walking on, if I'd left my house about 10 seconds later I probably could've been hurt by the car that went up the pavement. It left me in a bit of shock tbh.

[Metric1]

I've been in 3 major ones. One happened when a guy driving a big truck cut us off and caused my mom to go off the road and roll the car. 2nd happened when we were driving home one night and a deer jumped out and my moms ex-boyfriend drove the car into some brush. 3rd happened when some old people t-boned us in an intersection because they didn't see the red light.

I have never been in one but i have seen one.

It was my nan shes like 70 or something and the car coming the other way accidently swerved across to the other side (for some reason) and just got the side of the car and noone was hurt

[Suspective]

I thankfully haven't been involved in a car crash nor as far as I can remember witnessed one.

Some of the photos here do look pretty atrocious.

I seen a car crash outside my house a few years ago! I had finished school early and I was walking home just as I got home 2 cars had crashed and hit a motorbike which then knocked down an old lady :O They had to fly a helicopter over and landed in the street to take her to hospital! It was quite weird because my street isn't the biggest :P

I hope you're ok :)

[Gibs960]

Only a minor one. Red light we stopped, some stupid woman didn't stop and she crashed into, luckily only at low-speed but still was shocking.

My mum had to quit the police because she crashed, oil on the road and the car just went out of control. Before I was born!

[Oleh]

Ive witnessed a motorbiker crash into a bush and a landrover hit a punto but haven't been in one myself

[Swearwolf]

Yeah twice, i was driving. went into the back of a BMW on the M6 couple years ago at about 60, thick thick fog didnt see him at all :( and i crashed into the rear of an ice cream van to avoid a headon with a woman swerving round a car to the wrong side of the road who just drove off. cow

also seen some major ones, im out a lot at night, i seen one woman 2 weeks ago drunk drive over (literally) a big roundabout take out all the signs, had to call the cops etc as usual

seen a landrover a month ago clip a kerb and spin all over the road into a bush

seen a car get t boned 2 years ago as i was at a bus stop with friends, that was messy

watched a mate emergency stop on a motorbike and go over the handle bars as an old man pulled in front of him on a national limit road, old man just drove off mate was unconcious

actually one this morning at 9am dropping mate off, crashed headon outside the doctors lmao

plenty more...aha

[DJ-Jess11]

[Swearwolf]

i've also crashed a motorbike and landed on my face with no helmet ye er

I was in a crash, a few months back, was with friends driving down the M1 southbound, and it hits traffic lights, the cruise control was on, Was cruising at 60 - 65 MPH and, came to turn the cruise control off, guess what! It didn't turn off, came to slow the car down that didn't work either, because the car was all like electronic, kinda thing, the handbrake was electronic, so hitting into a car at 55MPH nothing else could be done too be honnest, had to be air lifted out of the car, as the doors locked ¬¬

Another fault from Renault, just glad no majour injuries happened to the people infront!

It was quite bad for a 9 day old car!
So, the car had to be wrote off, Was shaken for days.

neutral gear.

[Jessie]

Yeah about 2 years ago at a roundabout. We stopped at the red light just before the roundabout but the guy behind us wasnt looked anf just hit the back if us making us go out into the roundabout. Just lucky more cars didnt hit us afterwards as well.
I didn't feel anything until about half an hour afterwards the shock got me. Our car was written off and thankfully the only injury was mums whiplash.

[AsFastAsYou]

The car slowed down the slowest bit, traveling at 60-65 its hard to stop, I'm not sure if car was auto-matic or not, but It came as a shock.

I didn't understand any of that x]

It took a bit of time for the shock to set in fully, but like this interfering teacher made me go home because i had my head on a desk in a lesson and was led on a bench in p.e, but i knew i was still in shock because i ended up crying about it (ikr pathetic).

[chantellehugs]

I haven't but my friend was in one.
She was driving along the motorway with the people from her church when a van crashed into them. The minibus she was in turned over and her seatbelt got jammed so she was hanging out of her seat. Everyone was okay but the man who crashed into them had to pay compensation.

[Habitacion]

been in 2, one nearly died.. we were in pyrinees (mountains between spain and france) in december.. the road was frozen and the car went over a very steep slope but my father quickly turned the wheel and only crashed into a rock ... the other one was minor

[karter]

I have seen a guy getting run over by a car. He was very lucky that he survived and I was left Traumatised for like a week lol.
oh and the guy who ran him over worked in my mom's office

[luce]

yeah i saw one driving with my friends the other week and i have been in two it think but both nothing more than a bump :)

[Cheryl]

Yeah, me and my dad were coming out of a side road onto an A road. This girl started to go who was infront of us, my dad thought she had gone, looked right to go left, didn't look left again as there was no need, but she hadn't gone. Wrote off her Micra :L

[Markeh]

Seen one. Some guy in a Vectra was driving on a straight road, skidded, knocked out the 40MPH sign and railings at the end of our garden (railings were knocked 100ft up the road), spun round, and his back end landed on top of our shed.

[Eric]

Never been one before but seen lots. I've seen a car crashed on a motor driver too. And a motor driver being crashed by a lorry. Both of them died right after being crashed

[Lost]

Someone I used to be really close friends with died in a car crash this week.

[StripedTiger]

Yeah when i was a kid, in like year 3 at primary school or something my mum was driving us to school. We had been to my dads house to let the dog out and she was driving us to school. Anyway, i can only vaguely remember what happened being young, but i think my mum was driving down the street and a van pulled out right infront of her so she went straight into the side of him and the car actually spun around several times. Both me and my sister didnt have seat belts on. the front of the cat was just totally smashed up was a write-off instantly. None of us were seriously hurt though

[benjamin]

i've been in two accidents, one quite major one not so much.

the one that wasn't too bad, just before christmas i went into the back of a lexus (i do pick 'em..), he slammed his breaks on, i did but hit ice and weeeeeeeee right into the back. no one was injured and - luckily - no damage was done.

the serious one, day after my 13th birthday, i was in the car with my step mum who was 8 months pregnant - someone went into us at 55mph when we were at a red light, we hit the car in front too. caused my step mum to go into premature labour, wrote off our zafira and i dislocated my shoulder and nearly broke my neck (cause my face hit the windscreen haha)

and i remember i was about 15, going round a roundabout, and a lorry overturned and landed on a motorcyclist... not good. :(

[-Charityy]

I have witnessed 2 I think, but never been in one.
My brother-in-law got hit by a guy coming off of the interstate (in the US, of course :P) and I had to drive my sister to go get him in my car. It wasn't damaged bad though. The funny thing was he was driving my sisters car, and she was furious at him. It took a week to get it fixed and we got it back on a Friday. That Saturday night he hit a deer, apparently going really fast. Driving her car again. So it's still currently being repaired from that.

[Kronics]

I have not been involved in a car crash, but when I was in my mate's car he couldn't brake and his left rear wheel came off. And when we came to a stop, the wheel kind of rolled past us lol

[Chris]

Luckily I haven't, nor do I know anyone that has. Seen some pretty nasty ones on the motorway though.

[Circadia]

My mum got told the other day that the car was going to be written-off so it seems i will be walking to school for sometime :L some car crash's are horrible especially the ones on the motorway.

[Cosmic]

I have been involved in a car crash before. Granted I was quite young, but from what I remember our car was sandwiched (although not too badly) between two cars. It was mainly bumper damage, but it was quite frightening.

[..ValOwnsYou..]

only a small one . -.-
My dad was backing up the car to take me to school, then this woman's car was parked in the no parking zone in case of fires and stuff, so my dad hit the other car really hard and it scared the living crap out of me. So we went to court
and we won ;) lulz.

and there was 2 car crashes right infront of our school since its on the biggest street in my city. One guy got hit by a car on his bike, and the other accident was similar but the man was hit while crossing the street.

[Mr-Trainor]

I've never been in one or seen one happening but have seen a lot after they've happened, like just driving past on the bus/in car.

[kasi]

i was in a bad one a year and a bit ago...
i was turning left so i was letting all of the other cars go because they had the right of way
i went to turn, and this van came out of no where and slammed into the passenger side of my car
the car was totaled but me and my friend were alright, i did have a slight concussion though
scary experience ! never want it to happen again.

[Jessicrawrr]

never been in one, or seen one :)

[tdi]

On the way to pick up some parts from down the country, I came round a corner to find that one of the motorbikers who'd just overtaken us literally a minute before in a pool of blood on the motorway with the bike halfway down the road. We were one of the first people at the scene and he'd hit the central reservation and ripped his arm clean off.
It was shocking to see and they hadn't been going silly fast, I think he just lost control. Some lady who was first on scene was luckily an off duty nurse, so she put him in the recovery position and had wrapped an old T-shirt around his arm and one of his friends was putting pressure on it until the emergency services arrived. Never did find out what happened to him in the end but I hope he survived, it was a horrible sight to see him there in such a state of pain and shock.

On another note, I had fun driving a car into things before my mate scrapped it.
