The following are actual statements found on insurance forms
wherever drivers attempted to summarize the details of an accident in the fewest words
possible. In these cases, improper wording makes for highly entertaining reading.
Coming home I drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I
don't have.
The other car collided with mine without giving warning of it's
intentions.

head through it.
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.

had an accident.
I was on my way to the doctor with rear end trouble when my universal

the road when I struck him.
The pedestrian had no idea which direction to run, so I ran over him.
I saw a slow moving, sad faced, old gentleman as he bounced off the
roof of my car.

with a big mouth.

ditch by some stray cows.
