    Posted: 24 August 2007 at 2:21pm
So I was driving home from school, in the left most lane of the highway, when out of nowhere I see a red car's front two wheels up on the median on the other side of the highway, sliding and rolling across it at about 60 mph. I didn't hear or see the initial bump/crash that caused the car to go out of control; I just noticed a car on the other side of the highway rolling/sliding on top of the median. It all happened so quick, I was almost wondering to myself whether or not it had actually happened, or if it was seeing things. Anyways, I called 911 and radioed in the crash.

Anyone else witness some crazy accidents?

I saw a truck hit the back of a car hard enough that it popped up in the air and came down on the car. The truck's engine compartment was above what remained of the back seat.
No serious injuries.

I was out mudding with some friends and a guy I was with rolled his Z71. No injuries, but the car had some dents and whatnot.

In the vein of terrible wrecks there is a story in the New Yorker by a guy that was out for a hike and fell off of a thousand foot+ cliff. He describes the scenes of his life flashing before his eyes and he fell and falling past a climber who he believes uttered "What the ?!" as he fell past.
Here's the wreck part: He lived because he landed on a group of nature enthusiasts studying some lichen. They all died. He's in a full body cast.

I was rear ended twice by a bad Asian woman driver one time.  You really suck at driving if you rear end someone twice in a row...

I've seen more accidents than I want. I've seen limbs torn of guys who fell of motorcycles. I've seen a car catch fire and engulf itself and the driver. All ends of the spectrum on car crashes has made me very cautious when I drive.

Funny this should post today because I saw a fairly serious car accident on my drive to work this morning. Some idiot in an early 90's Saturn SL blew through the light at Belleview and I-25 and t-boned a guy (mid-80's Honda) coming off the highway...

Lucky for Mr. Honda, his near-highway speed caused the Saturn to hit him in the left rear quarterpanel rather than the driver's side door, but the car still left the ground a little and did a nice, teetering 360 degree spin from the impact. Guessing everyone was okay though.

Luckily I haven't been in an accident yet, but I have witnessed a couple.  Always a scary sight.

My mom was driving home from work and an 18 wheeler was on it's side sliding down the highway and it caught fire. Then it exploded. The driver of the truck was a woman and she got out and ran a half-mile away from the truck because she was so scared. My mom saw it all except for the woman running.

No car crashes. Witnessed a fist fight tonight. I had to break it up because everyone else was just watching. No serious injuries. Damn drunks.
