1st car that was totaled (belonged to my friend)
2nd car that was totaled(belonged to my sister but I have been driving it Forever.)
I was driving with an old roommate to her home in North Carolina when it happened. It was our first day on our roadtrip and we were in Wyoming almost to Nebraska, it had just gotten dark and we were on a back highway. My friend, Amy, was driving and was I was just lounging in the passenger seat when I heard her say "oh crap" adn looked up to see a relatively large buck jump in front of us. I barely had time to look up before we hit it. I believe that we were going about 65 mph so it was a pretty hard impact. The deer smashed up the front of the car and the hood and was thrown over to my side of the car and it dented the hood and took of the mirror. We went about 100 yards and there was a nice little place to pull of and we shut off the car and got out to access the damage. We ended up waiting on the side of the road for about an hour for the cop and about 2 hours for the tow truck. We hit the deer around 9 pm and got to the little town we stayed in around midnight. Her parents worked everything out and we finished the trip in a rental car.
Now for the second wreck. about 3 weeks after the first one occured.
I was on my way out to Jill's to stay with her for a few days. It was around 11 pm and I was about 10 miles or so from Jill's when I topped a hill and saw,from the other direction, a car trying to pass a pickup. When she saw me she tried to move back over but clipped the tail end of the pickup and came back over into my lane. I yelled no and I tried to get out of her way but didn't make it and she slammed into me starting at the front corner of the car and shearing the side off to my door and breaking my axle. The car literally just dropped down and didn't move another inch. She and the pickup continued on down the road for a couple hundred yards and then she went through a steel gate and fence and took out some posts and the pickup went through the fence and was wrapped up in a six strand barbed wire fence. After she hit me I tried to get out of the car but the door wouldn't budge(the tire was shoved clear back into my door and the frame was a bit messed up) Then the car started to smoke and smelled nasty so I got a little scared and used all I had to shove the door open just enough that I could fit through. Once I was out of the car and saw the damage I sank to the ground and tried to talk to Jill...I may have lost it for a bit trying to take in that the car was a wreck, that I was fine but in shock and that the girl had been stupid enough to pass on a hill when she couldn't see oncoming traffic. There had been two other vehicles on the road that saw what happened and they stopped to help and make sure we were alright. One of the guys came over to help me and the others went over to the other vehicles. I had no clue if they were ok so as soon as I calmed down I headed over to make sure everyone else was ok. We were all fine except for being bruised and sore and the girl had a srape on her arm from a side airbag. After that it was mostly just waiting for the cops and tow trucks to show up. Jill and Vance came and stayed with me and picked me up once the cops were finished. I think that we got back to Jill's around 1 am. It was a long night. The next day i went and cleaned out the car. It was pretty sad, I had been driving that car for 6 or 7 years.
Well...thats all folks.
