I ran over a Rottweiler, who later got his revenge by destroying my alternator.
I was throwing newspapers at 6AM, going 20mph, if that, and dodged a 2x4 in the road. Felt a thump, thought, “Crap! Was there another one?”
Got out and didn’t see anything in the road, looked under the car and there’s the dog. Oh shit. Jacked my car up to get him out, expected blood and biting. No blood and he was completely chill.
Got him in my backseat and palpitated him all over. Looked like a broken or cracked rib or 2 and a mangled pinkie. Hauled him home and called around. Some hippies in a rescue van pulled up and took him for treatment.
Went back to the hood and knocked doors until I found the owners. Went back and saw him again!
The wreck continues… Month later my alternator dies. Mechanic replaced it and showed me the air intake. Jammed with a fine layer of fur.
On a city crossroad, with warning signs, lights, pylons and tape not to drive over it, was a car in the center. Sunken to its axels in freshly poured concrete. The idiot driver had just ignored everything and could now pay to have the concrete fixed.
A Toyota embedded, like a javelin, 6 feet off the ground in the side of an abandoned building.
They made the first 90° turn of a dog-leg, but missed the second and, with the help of a ditch, launched into the air at the building.
Not entirely a ‘car accident’ but I was driving down the interstate and narrowly dodged a shovel head (the handle had broken off) sitting in the far left passing lane in a construction zone. The car behind me hit it and I watched in my rear view mirror as it flew up in the air and traveled all the way over to the right side travel lane and fucking demolished the windshield of a car. I was expecting the car to jerk and swerve from the driver freaking out from this object falling out of the sky right into their windshield, but they just very calmly merged to the shoulder and stopped.
The other one was me barely missing an empty pallet sitting in the middle of my lane when it was dark out and seeing the headlights of the car tailgating behind me do a complete 360 as they tried to dodge it. If they’d left a little more room between us they probably could have followed my lead and drove around in, but their short following distance left no time for them to react.
Some guy who got a load of wire wrapped around his rear wheels and the car just sat up on its rear end like it was standing to attention.
