Worst car accident you've ever been in

What is the worst car accident you've ever been in? I have doubts that any of you can top mine.



I fell asleep behind the wheel of my car about 2 1/2 years ago and struck a stoplight head on at 65 MPH. The engine was ejected about 50 yards down the road.

And you survived? Jesus fuck.
I haven't been in any major car accidents and I've only ever been in one once, a fender bender. I did get hit by a car when I was 7 though, if that counts.
Was almost in a 5-6 car crash yesterday on the way to work in the middle of the highway. Traffic was heavy and moving pretty fast.. another freeway was merging together.. This one car about 30 feet in front of me to the right lane had just merged.. I see this SUV coming up behind him probably going 90. Traffic was slowing down but the SUV wasn't, I was watching it in my mirror going uh oh. BLAM!!.. he slams into the back of the car and clips the bumper, sending the car spinning across 4 lanes of traffic, the bumper flew into the road and their trunk popped open and clothes were flying everywhere, hit 3 different cars that I could see in those 2 seconds.. I was going about 50-60 and the car came spinning out of control into my lane, I had to swerve into the shoulder to avoid getting railed.. missed me about a foot. I narrowly avoided a 5-6 car collision and god knows how many else, when I turned around to look, 5 lanes of traffic were completely stopped. I saw at least 5 cars crash into each other from that one accident.. probably a lot more rear-enders in that mess. I just kept driving...
Here's to paying attention and l33t driving skills  Don't text and drive or sleep and drive or drink and drive kids.

I was going about 135 MPH when I lost control, went sideways everywhere and finally hit a telephone pole. I was in the far right lane and someone from the far left lane cut over in front of me. I had to swerve and I was going so fast... ejected my battery 100 yards or so. Not a scratch on me, the car got totaled.

Obviously I survived, but for the extent of the damage to my car I was rather fortunate. I didn't break any bones or have any internal injuries. But my nose was fileted open, I had 19 stitches total in my face. The fact that I was asleep is probably what saved my life. I was like a rag doll.

You're one lucky motherfucker. It doesn't look like anyone could have survived that.

the only reason it looks so fucked up is cause its a newer car they crumple like tin cans i was in a car that hit a tree going 70 the only reason we survived is cause it was an 89 toyota before they started making them cheap

looks are deceiving, modern cars are designed to fold and crumple, the engine is installed in a manner that they come loose and not enter the passenger compartment, had that been a fill frame 60's or 70's model that 65mph impact wouldnt look like that at all
I was hit head on by a driver doing 70mph while I was traveling about 40, one injury and the front bumper was almost under the wind sheild, it was a 70 oldsmobile, the engine was in the passenger compartment, the duke power rescue team came in by helicopter because the roads were impassible, they had to cut us out of the car, only one injury in my vehicle, me and the other chick were pretty much unharmed
about 6 years ago a log truck dumped it's load and flattened a car, the lady lived with minor injuries, I watched one similar happen when a truck drove over top of a small car, it rolled under the truck and the people inside lived, there was also one where a truck overturned on a car, they didnt even know it was there until they pulled the truck back up on it's wheels, the guy in the car was unharmed

Good thing you were driving a WV. If you had a passenger in that car they would have been fucked up though. Glad your OK man 
My buddy fell asleep and clipped the back wheel of a trailer of a semi truck. He hit 3 trees and hit the truck a second time. He was fine but the passenger got fucked up.
Worst accident I was in was me, playing with my radio going 60mph. I looked up and I was on the grass beside the road headed for a telephone pole. I over corrected and ended up doing a 180 and totaling my car into the embankment on the other side of the road.

 long story short friend was driving to fast, caught air over a hill, lost control when we landed, hit a tree stump around 70, car rolled twice, fence post went through windshield which impaled my arm and tore out the brachial artery, put seat belt on about 2 mins before crash, broken c7 also, should have died
