The following statements have been taken from actual accident reports. These were submitted to various insurance companies and the list was compiled by USAA, United Services Automobile Association. I doubt that any of these helped the person’s cause.
- Coming home, I drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I don’t have…
- The other car collided with mine without giving warning of its intentions…
- I thought my window was down, but found it was up when I put my hand through it…
- I collided with a stationary truck coming the other way…
- The guy was all over the road; I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him…
- I pulled away from the side of the road, glanced at my mother-in-law, and headed over the embankment…
- In my attempt to kill a fly, I drove into a telephone pole…
- I had been driving for forty years when I fell asleep at the wheel and had the accident…
- My car was legally parked as it backed into the other vehicle…
- An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my vehicle and vanished…
- I was sure the old fellow would never make it to the other side of the road when I struck him…
- The pedestrian had no idea which direction to run, so I ran over him…
- The indirect cause of this accident was a little guy in a small car with a big mouth…
- I was thrown from my car as it left the road. I was later found in a ditch by some stray cows…
- The telephone pole was approaching, I was attempting to swerve out of its way, when it struck my front end…
- I was unable to stop in time and my car crashed into the other vehicle. The driver and passengers then left immediately for vacation with injuries…
The English language is a truly beautiful thing. One word of caution, try to stay out of the way of those tricky inanimate objects that seem to move all over the place. Honestly, I think we should all be extra careful while driving, realizing that there are many things out there that can cause us harm.
