I was, about two years ago. Thankfully, it was a minor one and no one was hurt.
Have you ever been in a car accident?

Yep. I was driving to a job interview on a Chicago highway in a rainstorm. Three or four cars in front of me, someone merged INCHES in front of another car, and the shockwave rippled back- the way I drive, I managed to stop with a good foot or two of space between me and the next car, which is close by my standards, if no one else's. I had time to think "Wow, that was cl-" CRUNCH!
I got hit from behind. I pulled over to the shoulder, put my hazards on, and waited for the police, since getting out on the freeway would've been literal suicide. Luckily it was minor, and no one got hurt.

This girl hit my Pontiac, bending in the fender, but damaging the fender. She was so high, she was talking about who had the right-away and who should turn. I said, "Uh, I was driving and you went left-of-center. No turning!"
And guys say "Woman drivers". This one certifies that statement! She did $2,800 worth of damage to the car because she smashed the fuel regulator in, I think the part was called.
I stopped driving now because the city I live in tows everyone's car and then drug dealers buy them cheap at auctions.
Drugs are so bad around here and there are so many accidents because of stupid people. It's so bad, the average car insurance premium here for liability is around $150 a month!

Yes, I drove a bunch of Cub Scouts in my wife;s brand new station wagon. to some place where they could make a leather wallet. It was raining really hard and we were on the way home. A car was sneaking up on my right and I had to turn right to get on an on ramp and I ran into a car. A young woman was driving and the first thing she did was try to flag people down to be witnesses. The cops showed up and they told me there were accidents at this intersection all the time. Then the girls boyfriend showed up. This was before cellphones so I couldn't figure out how he knew where she was.
About a month later i get a summons in the mail. This woman was suing me. I called my insurance company and they told me they would take care of it. They settled with her and told me that it was probably a set up.

Yea 2 of them, it's what happens when you hang with street racers I guess, one the drift went wrong cause not only was the car heavy but it was raining hard so it slipped and it spun out going over a curb and the other ran a red light and got toned hard lol

My mom was driving and she was on the street waiting in line and some car hit up from behind. Damage the back of the car and left whiplash for my self as I wasn't wearing a seat belt. We were getting a pizza I believe a few miles away from our house.

Yes unfortunately, I completely wrecked the car, but thankfully it was single car incident, only myself involved and no major injuries.

In a few, usually as a passenger. The last one was with a girl who was a notoriously bad driver, did not see an upcoming bend at night then ripped the steering wheel and sled into the curb stone.

Just the 1 as a passenger
Ended up with the spinal compression injury that'll eventually paralyze me
I'm lucky it was lower speed, high speed I'd be already paralyzed and hitting the tree rather than the bank, well I wouldn't be typing this - 622 opinions shared on Other topic.
Oh, yeah.
None too terribly serious, thank goodness.

Once, a couple years ago. It was minor even though it totaled my car. All I got was a couple sore knees from hitting the dashboard. A stupid kid turned in front of me. Luckily he wasn't hurt either.

A couple times. Both had no injuries. First the bumper was dented, the second car was totaled via getting t-boned. But that was about 20 years ago.

When I was 16 I was hit by a car while I was crossing the street in a crosswalk. I had the green. While driving? No. But my parked cars have been hit several times.

Lots. Few were my fight. I still remember the few seconds before each crash. The look of terror on the other drivers face that stupidly pulled out in front of me. If they kept their wits and gunned it, we’d have been fine. Aholes.
