Car wrecks may not be something that someone wants to see, but it is definitely something that someone needs to brace themselves for since accidents do happen in this world, it’s just a matter of when and how gruesome the appalling scenery is. Nevertheless, you may learn something from the experience of witnessing such a scene. Two new cars, a Ford and a Chevrolet, lost control and rammed ungracefully into each other on the congested four-lane highway, diverging into the steeply inclined ditch in a messy, crumpled-up heap. The windshield of the Ford smashed into oblivion as its front end crashed into the back end of the Chevy, scattering glass shards on the instantaneously killed 28-year old driver, Henry Gilderman, who died as soon as his head crashed violently upon the …show more content…
In the Ford, the grisly charred remains of the driver leaned in a twisted, painful-looking formation against the dash. An ambulance arrived to check the McCormick family for any possible signs of shock or a concussion or other injury, and luckily found nothing of the sort in either family member. After being checked on by the ambulance, Sally, Toby, and Andrew huddled together and stared blank-faced for a moment at the awful sight. The horrible feelings that surfaced in the mother and children’s hearts were heart-wrenching woe and despair at the loss of their car and the death of the stranger, the car, which was their only form of transportation that they possessed, was forever no more. Angst also arose up within them at the fact they too, could have been hapless victims of the egregious inferno. The children became disquieted at the site of the ghastly and quite sudden event that was before their eyes. All of it was too much to bear for anyone to
The morning started out with a routine tour of duty, hauling 62 freight cars and a caboose. Little did the crew know that down the mainline another event was unfolding. A track gang and a foreman traveled by motorcar to pick up some switch ties. When the group arrived at Red Desert, they were approached by a sheep herder, who needed assistance getting his sheep across the tracks. The foreman assigned two men to flag each direction of track. He also ordered that switch of each side of the passing track to be opened. (That means that the switch is in a middle position, not thrown to either side, which will always lead to derailment.) This would cause the signals to indicate a stop signal. As one of the men opened up the siding switch, he saw 4005 roaring down the track, the workman tried to close the switch before the engine could pass… it was too late. The engineer applied the emergency brake, however, at the time 4005 was going about 50 MPH (80 KPH). The engine, tender, and first 18 cars turned on its’ side, The massive and near full tender smashed into the cab of 4005, destroying it completely. Although the engineer and brakeman were killed instantly, the front brakeman survived the wreck and gave an account as to what happened. “The switch, they threw it right in front of us, they didn’t give us a chance. I felt the engine rock. I don’t know how many times it rocked. The next thing I knew I felt the steam
On the may 4th of 2024, at around 10:22 pm last night, an incident occurred right in front of George’s Wilson automobile shop where his wife, Myrtle wilson was unexpectedly killed by a mysterious car speeding down the valley of ashes as myrtle wilson attempted to cross the street.

Larry Niven, an ASU grad student, was walking south on Mill Avenue about to cross on University Drive when “the two cars fired passed” him. He continues, “If I had stepped off the curb, I’d be dead now.” Witnessing the damage the Prius undertook, he said “it just blew apart.”
William continued walking until he arrived at the crime scene. In his mind he tried to picture what had happened, but it was just too much for him. His thoughts were interrupted when a man, "Driving a 2005 Chrysler 300 jumped a curb and collided with," (seven 1) a young woman who was crossing the road. Everything happened so quickly that William had no time to react. The vehicle continued driving even after it hit the woman. William saw the woman lying on the road and rushed to help her. The woman stood up with William's help. As she assured him she was okay and that everything was fine, she fainted in William's arms. William stood there confused, not knowing what to do with the beautiful stranger who had just fainted in his arms. The nearest hospital was located in the next village which was about twenty miles away. He decided that he would take her to his hotel room and take care of her
After the show had finally come to an end, Garrett snagged out his book about automobiles from the wooden shelf and sat back onto the cushioned couch. He clenched the book in his hand, grasping the thin material of the crisp page. Suddenly, the sound of shattering glass came throughout the house and Garrett, startled, glanced up the stairs. It absorbed all of his attention, his eyes completely focused at the top of the staircase. He leaped up, out of the sofa and peered at the top of the dark trail that scattered up.
In the distance, an ambulance wails as curious heads turn toward the damage. One thing is clear: there has been a potentially fatal car accident. Small cars never have a chance, and the driver was flung from her seat quite a distance. Pedestrians cannot help but stare. Half of her face has been scratched by a stray shard of window. What a pity, passersby think. She will have to live with that scar for the rest of her life. Maybe we should first think to ask if she needs help.

As of 2015, 1.5 million people died in car wrecks. 50% of that number was from texting and driving, and 25% was from being intoxicated, and more of the wrecks coming from the ages 15 to 44, the young age. If you think of it, 1.5 million is very large number, especially if you're talking about people, just thinking about a million and a half people dying from not paying attention of the road, people drinking too much at a bar, and people being easily distracted by their smartphones, this is how people need to make a stop to the total amount of deaths due to car accidents.
You look to your right as a van rams into the driver’s side of your car. The pain came after the last breath moved through you. You feel your bones crunch in your body, and you scream, but the scream of the bending metal overlaps yours. The impact of the crash sends your car sliding into another vehicle. Another ear-piercing scream escapes from your mouth. The last thing you thought of before the numbness took over was your love, your reason of happiness.
Sirens are seldom the best way to end a day. The driver sat numbly on the curb as officers in blue and responders in white rushed around. Over the pounding in his ears, he barely heard the blue and red colored wails filling the air. White clothed figures flickered in the corner of his eye and the driver raised his head in time to watch a gurney hurriedly raised into an ambulance. His breath came in gasping bursts, How did this happen? I… I am a good driver… it’s just… I was so mad… he stared at the scene around him. Pieces of glass strewn like stars over the black asphalt of the intersection. The twinkling path trailing back to a sculpture of violently twisted metal. Tears stung his eyes as he gazed at a form lying on the
