Accident descriptions.
A copy of this was in the waiting room of a car body repair shop.
What follows are actual statements found on insurance forms where the
car drivers attempted to summarize the details of an accident in
the fewest words possible.
- Coming home, I drove into the wrong house and collided with
a tree I don't have.
- The other car collided with mine without givng warning of
its intentions.
- I thought my window was down, but I found out it was up when I
put my head through it.
- I collided with a stationary truck coming the other way.
- A truck backed through my windshield into my wife's face.
- A pedestrian hit me and went under my car.
- The guy was all over the road and 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 an 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 an accident.
- As I approached the intersection a sign suddenly appeared where
no STOP sign had ever appeared before.
- My car was legally parked as it backed into the other car.
- An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my car and vanished.
- I told the police that I was not injured but on removing
my hat, found that I had fractured my skull.

over him.

roof of my car.
