Default Accident Thread... New sticky??

I searched for one but only found a few random ones, possibly a new sticky?? Post up your accidents/crashes/wrecks!

I'll kick it off with mine that happened two summers ago, I came over a crest of a hill to find a deer in the middle of the road so i went to go on the outside of it and the big mudding tires sucked me into the ditch. I knew I hit something such as a tree or pole but was in a bit of shock so I first tried backing out of the ditch, come to find out it wouldn’t move because I was pinned under the pole. The transformer was leaking all over so I got a good distance away from that thing.

Truck before


That night, you can see how deep the ditch is based off of the road being close to level with the bed of my truck. I only had a leveling kit in it at this point.




The pole the next day...


So I managed to bend my frame rail on the front left, I am close friends with my shop and we worked it to where I didnt total the truck and put a new frame in it. Didnt have my truck for three months...



New frame

Mine is easy.

Four months ago. Stopped on the side of the expressway on my motorcycle (to do a quick check of my GPS, as I was off-route due to exit closures) when a meth head slammed into me at 70 MPH.

Lost my leg at the scene.

Sorry, no pictures - I was busying making and holding my tourniquet.

2005 lifted Z71. 84 year old lady hit me and sent me into the tree the day before my 22nd bday. Part of the frame got ripped out with the bumper replacement



And this was my first truck. 2002 F150. My fault, I was 17. I was knocked out, had a concussion, glass in my shoulder, and glass inside of my mouth of all places. There was also an outline of my head and shoulders in the headliner, pretty wild

wow... Very sorry to hear. I used to stunt ride motorcycles so i'v seen a coutless number of my friends wreck hard on the streets. One of which is now a paraplegic... Crazy thing is he set up his motorcycle so he can still use it, has actuated "training wheels" and all hand controls.

Here is a pic of his bike, a fundraiser we held for him so he could afford to set his car up now with the hand controls.

That is crazy! I can't even imagine the shock of something like that. That's crazy you had a cool enough head to make and hold a tourniquet!

My friends F250 flipped the other night while his DD was driving. She took a turn in the rain, gave the truck to much gas. The truck did a 180 hit a curb sideways and flipped over. Four people all wearing seat belts walked away.

Interesting stuff. However, this thread is already all over the place and only a few posts long. Even the OP's is more of a rebuild thread.
So... no sticky.
