Car Crashes

Post by Euge »

there about two weeks ago I was driving home from my girlfriends house in the night and I crashed my car into a ditch, then a wall, then slid down the road for about 50 metres, den flipped about 4/5 times! I ended up having to climb up and jump out the passenger window which was smashed. the car was a wreck but somehow I didn't get a scratch, although I was asked to spend the night in Hospital as a safety measure. when the police arrived they said that I was lucky to be alive and they've seen people die in less. luckly nobody else was involved in the crash.

The insurance company is only giving me 16,000 euro for it, an '05 VW Golf, worth 24,000!.

has anyone else had any experiences with crashes? I had a friend who died in a crash last year so it can be a touchy subject so feel free not to reply.

heres a pic of the car the next day:

oh yeah, if you were over the limit, that explains why the insurance company does not pay you all the money for your car

For a crash at 120km/h, and your description of the crash, you're bloody lucky mate! Sucks about the money but I hope you really can learn from this! :yes:
