Here are some excerpts from real accident reports, wherein the drivers tried to put the best possible spin on what happened…

——————

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

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

Coming home, I turned into the wrong driveway and collided with a tree I don’t have.

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

In my attempt to kill a fly, I drove into a telephone pole.

No one was to blame for the accident, but it never would have happened if the other driver had been alert.

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

I had been driving for 40 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.

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

I was thrown from my car as it left the road. I was later found in a ditch by some stray cows.

I was sure the old fellow would never make it to the other side of the road when I struck him.

I told the police that I was not injured, but on removing my hat, I found that I had a fractured skull.

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

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

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

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

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.

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