| The following are real statements
found on insurance claim forms. Drivers attempted to summarize the details of an accident
succinctly. 
- Coming home, I drove into wrong house and collided with a
tree I don't have.
- I thought my window was down, but found it was up when I put
my head through it.
- The other car collided with mine without giving warning of
its intentions.
- The guy was all over the road. 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 my attempt to kill a fly, I drove into a telephone pole.
- I had been shopping for plants all day and was on my way
home. As I reached an intersection a hedge sprang up obscuring my vision, and I did not
see the other car.
- The telephone pole was approaching. I was attempting to
swerve out of its way when it struck the front end.
- I was thrown from the car as it left the road. I was later
found in the ditch by some stray cows.
- The indirect cause of the accident was a little guy in a
small car with a big mouth.
- I had been driving for 40 years when I fell asleep at the
wheel and had an accident.
- I was on my way to the doctor with rear end trouble when my
universal joint gave way causing me to have an accident.
- As I approached the intersection a sign suddenly appeared in
a place where no stop sign had ever appeared before. I was unable to stop in time to avoid
the accident. To avoid hitting the bumper of the car in front, I struck the pedestrian.
- My car was legally parked as it backed into the other
vehicle.
- An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my car and
vanished.
- I told the police that I was not injured, but upon removing
my hat found that I had a fractured skull.
- I was sure the old fellow would never make it to the other
side of the curb when I struck him.
- The pedestrian had no idea which direction to run, so I ran
over him.
