Accident reports

Mr. Presentable

These excuses were on accident claim forms of a major insurance company.
You may have seen them before, but maybe not


1 The other car collided with mine without giving warning of its intention.

2 I thought my window was down but found it was up when I put my hand through it.

3 A pedestrian hit me and went under my car.

4 The guy was all over the place. I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him.

5 I pulled away from the side of the road, glanced at my mother-in-law and headed over the embankment.

6 The accident occured when I was attempting to bring my car out of a skid by steering it into the other vehicle.

7 I was driving my car out of the driveway in the usual manner, when it was struck by the other car in the same place it had been struck several times before.

8 I was on my way to the doctor's with rear-end trouble when my universal joint gave way, causing me to have an accident.

9 As I approached the intersection, a stop 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.

10 The telephone pole was approaching fast. I was attempting to swerve out of its path when it struck my front end.

11 To avoid hitting the bumper of the car in front, I struck the pedestrian.

12 My car was legally parked as it backed into the other vehicle.

13 An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my vehicle and vanished.

14 When I saw I could not avoid a collision, I stepped on the gas and crashed into the other car.

15 The pedestrian had no idea which direction to go, so I ran him over.

16 I saw the slow-moving, sad-faced old gentleman as he bounced off the hood of my car.

17 Coming home, I drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I don't have.

18 The indirect cause of this accident was a little guy in a small car with a big mouth.

Norwich Union, which yesterday revealed that freak incidents involving animals top the list of bizarre motor claims.

The company has compiled a list of the "ten weirdest claims" it received last year, and at the top of the list was:
"A frozen squirrel fell out of a tree and crashed through the windscreen on to the passenger seat."
In second place was: "The car was parked, when a reindeer fell on the bonnet." The others were:
"As I was driving round a bend, one of the doors opened and a frozen kebab flew out, hitting and damaging a passing car."
"A herd of cows licked my car and caused damage to the paintwork."
"A zebra collided with my car when I was at a safari park."
"While I was waiting at traffic lights, a wasp went down my trouser leg, which made me hit the accelerator and prang the car in front."
"I couldn't brake because a potato was lodged behind the brake."
"My parked car was hit by a bull which had escaped from an agricultural show."
"A cow jumped on my quad bike."
"As I came over a hill, I hit a cow in the middle of the road, which then hit the bonnet and shattered the windscreen with its rear end" (the cow survived).

Collision and Calamity

Some drivers can have accidents even when there are no pedestrians or other vehicles in sight...
