Actual Accident Summaries

The following are real statements found on insurance
claim forms.
Drivers attempted to summarize the details of an accident
succinctly.
---

Coming home, I drove into wrong house and collided with a
tree I
don't have.
---

I thought my window was down, but found it was up when I
put my
head through it.
---

The other car collided with mine without giving warning
of its
intentions.
---

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 shopping for plants all day and was on my way
home.
As I reached an intersection a hedge sprang up obscuring
my vision,
and I did not see the other car.
---

The telephone pole was approaching. I was attempting to
swerve out
of its way when it struck the front end.
---

I was thrown from the car as it left the road. I was
later found
in the ditch by some stray cows.
---

The indirect cause of the accident was a little guy in a
small car
with a big mouth.
---

I had been driving for 40 years when I fell asleep at the
wheel and
had an accident.
---

I was on my way to the doctor with rear end trouble when
my universal
joint gave way causing me to have an accident.
---

As I approached the intersection a sign suddenly appeared
in a place
where no stop sign had ever appeared before. I was
unable to stop
in time to avoid the accident. To avoid hitting the
bumper of the
car in front, I struck the pedestrian.
---

My car was legally parked as it backed into the other
vehicle.
---

An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my car and
vanished.
---

I told the police that I was not injured, but upon
removing my hat
found that I had a fractured skull.
---

I was sure the old fellow would never make it to the
other side of
the curb when I struck him.
---

The pedestrian had no idea which direction to run, so I
ran over him.
