-> --------------------------------------------------------
->      Have you ever experienced the confusion of a traffic accident, and had
-> to try to describe exactly what happened in a few words on insurance forms?
-> The following unusual excerpts were quoted by Tilden and published in the
-> Toronto Sun, 7/26/77.
-> 
-> 
-> Coming home I drove into the wrong house and colided with a tree I don't have.
-> 
-> The other car collided with mine, without giving warning of its intentions.
-> 
-> 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; 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 was thrown from my car as it left the road.  I was later found in a ditch
-> by some stray cows.
-> 
-> I was unable to stop in time and my car crashed into the other vehicle.  My
-> driver and passengers then left immediately for a vacation with injuries.
-> 
-> As I approached the intersection, a stop sign suddenly appeared in a place
-> where no stop sign had ever appeared before.
-> 
-> 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.
-> I had been driving my car for forty years when I fell asleep at the wheel
-> and had an accident.
-> 
-> I saw the slow-moving, sad-faced old gentleman as he bounced off the hood of
-> my car.
-> 
-> An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my vehicle and vanished.
-> 
-> I told the police that I was not injured, but on removing my hat, I found
-> that I had a fractured skull.
-> 
-> I was sure the old fellow would never make it to the other side of the
-> roadway when I struck him.
-> 
-> The pedestrian had no idea which direction to go so I ran over him.
-> 
-> The telephone pole was fast approaching.  I was attempting to sweve out of
-> its path when it struck my front end.
