Car accidents

This is my car accident from mid July of last summer.

So it was 11:45 pm and i was doing about 100 on a back road straightaway that runs parallel with the Erie canal with my friend. i started going into the most mellow curve ever and my car started to slide. I slid across the street into a ditch, the car flipped over and i would have gone into the canal but thankfully a bunch of trees stopped me.

this was the scariest shit ever. i could feel the back end starting to drift, i tried to correct it but it was too late. i started sliding and all i could see were trees and shit flying by in my headlights and then dirt and shit flying up followed by the worst sound ever. we slammed to a halt and the first thing i saw was that fucking dashboard literally

exploded open.

I made sure my friend was ok because that was my greatest concern at the time, and we were both fine on the surface, nothing broken or anything. At this point i had no idea that we were upside down until i unbuckled my seatbelt and fell onto the roof. i tryed to open my door but it was jammed, and the way we finally came to a rest my friends door was against the ground. So we had to crawl into the back seat and climb up out the left rear door.

We called the cops and when the ambulance arrived they had to strap me to a fucking board because i was 17 and you have to be 18 to say you are alright and you dont need to get checked out, which my friend was. I went to the hospital and everything was fine, but my car was completely fucked. Overall i am so glad that my friend and I could have walked away from this, the cops told me later that they were expecting to find 2 dead bodies in the car when they saw it in the trees.

that would be a tree, but it saved us from going into the canal. and its good that it scares you in a way because speeding is not worth it man
 
nah we both were fine besides bruises and cuts from glass, and i kinda pissed blood a couple times cause my kidney bashed the center console, but i got a catscan and i just bruised it, nothing serious.

the miracle was my friend wasnt wearing his seatbelt either and he made out better than i did
 
holy shit dude, i straight up jumped out of my seat on that one, good to hear your ok, but welcome to the totaled car club
 
yeah i know some people that got in a real nasty car accident, 4 kids driving along one pulls the wheel joking around they lose control and they were probably going like 60, go into a ditch flipped a few times one got thrown out of the car, ended up breaking both arms, one was in ICU for a week or so with head injuries, the driver broke his femur and had 100 stitches in his face, and the passenger died.

so you are very lucky
 
Now you should probably learn driving a 100 is not good unless your on a dry highway going straight...backroads are not so sweet for speeding. Good to hear you made out alive though, that should add some appreciation to life.
 
yea shit like this makes you rethink a lot of things, especially your driving, i am such a careful driver now
 
geeze thats so crazy. there has been so many accidents lately where i live. every one is fucking up their cars. im sorry. hope the best for you
 
yea fuck man i had a similar experiance, when i was 15 me and my friend decided to take my moms new jetta for a joy ride one nite, and we pick up another friend, and i was driving on the staights gooin 200km/h and a bout 150 around corners that were max 75km/h, then my friend says dude this cars got these corners good u can go faster aroiund them, so sure i enough i listen to him and start doin corners at over 180, then thers a down slope corner going into a dip, and we got air and landed sideways then at the bottem of the dip we flip on the roof and slid up this dip on the roof, this dip was aboot half a kilometer long too. and when the cops came we told them that we swerved out of the way of a deer going only 100-105 and they belived it, but because i was only 15 and didnt have my licnse yet i cant get my learners till im 18 fuck!!! and im 17,000$ in debt because my fuckin retard parents claimed insurance for it!!!
 
shit dude.. thats pretty intense 200kmh=124mph. fuck. when i stole my parents car to go to a party i drove like 10mph UNDER the speed limit to make sure i didn't fuck up. quick thinking on the deer thing though.
 
hahaha we have that too, thats why i am super careful cause its quicker to wait til I'm 16 then you can only loose it for so long
 
i had a 01 gt1 1.8t 5speed golf. lets just say it was fun car. me and my gf at the time were comin back from the store, and decided to cut through campus. the road exiting campus was real twisty, and a blast to drive. i had drove it god knows how many times. a tad to fast, understeer into the gravel, and down a small hill into an empty field. empty except one fucking lone tree. smashed head on into at about 35-40. we both were ok, but she fractured a bone in her foot. totalled my car, and it really sucked. stupidest shit ive ever done in my life. lets see if i can dg up some pics...
 
oh yeah. good news is that i paid 800 for that car, replaced the clutch/flywheel with the VR6 one for about a grand. thats roughly 9000 into it. insurance gave me 10500. so at least i didnt get too fucked. but i drive a saturn now, so that sucks. i miss my baby. RIP
 
just dont let women drive you skiing, bad things happen.

this was maybe 2 minutes from my house. and the girl driving almsot crashed 2 more times before this.

Im glad we crashed in Boulder before we got on I-70 and were actually going really fast.

This happened at about 50 MPH.

Go into turn above, car slides to the left on gravel, chick turns wheel to right until it stops, cars turns right and jumps onto the side.

we missed that telephone pole by about a foot...which would have been REALLY bad.

we got luck. just jumped, bounced, ended up on our side like that.

yeah dude, volvo are beasts.

we were mostly ok. some cuts from glass and I chipped the shit out of one of my teeth.

and the skis.....we were so worried that the car was gonna flip and crush them.

they came out ok, though
 
haha yea i wanted my car for a long time then my parents finally threw down. we got back 1 g more than we payed for it but they wanted me to learn my lesson so now i drive a fucking pymouth acclaim
 
U just have to be reasonable when you go fast. My friend has an STI that is putting out 400bhp. (brake horse power for those not in the know, it means what the wheel hp is) Not a scratch on the damn thing and we've hit 145mph.
 
yea i maxed out my car at 133 on the freeway but i was an idiot and went fast on a back road
 
yea accidents are definitly not fun, i got into one going to school last year and toteled my car, it was a scary experience.
 
hollyyy fuucckkkk, just got home from having the closest call of my life... I had just gotten off the highway and took a corner at a slow 40 km/h. The front tires didn't hold(it was snowing, but i was sure it would hold), I ended up in the lane for oncoming traffic, saw a car coming at me, cranked the wheel all the way to the right, tried to bring it back but with no power steering...that didn't work out. ended up smacking the right snowbank pretty damned hard, but luckily i didn't get stuck somehow... I've never been so scared in my life, I had my lil' sis in the car too
 
^similar story, but not my fault.

I was staying at an ex-gf's cabin that is up close to our ski hill, so after work at the hill i would ride, then just go and crash there with her family. anyway, at night i set the parking brake, and left the car. then when i woke up i went out to go to work, and it was about 7am, just barely light out. The whole way out of her little neghborhood is uphill, then finally it flattens out and there is a long curve. well i got to the curve and let off the gas to coast around the snow covered corner. I was doing between 15-20 mph by this point and i dind't realize but my e-brake had froze on, so when i realeased it, it was still on, but the light went off and everything. anyway as soon as i let off the gas, the tires locked up, and i drifted off the road. I had no idea what was going on, and natural instinct is to let off the gas and just try to make the corner nice and smooth, but i wasn't getting any reaction from the wheel or brake... so i drifted over the edge and went about 10 ft down this hill where i finally stopped and my car was like almost teetering on the hill, and it was almost completley sideways. I had to climb out like cliffhanger style... then walk back like 2 miles and call a tow truck, because the excursion had no chance to pull it out, it was crazy. so yeah. the end
