My Top 10 Worst Motor Accidents

Car-Accidents.com, in their auto accident facts, stated that an average of 115 persons die each day in car accidents in the United States (one every 13 minutes). In 2005, an estimated 6, 420, 000 cars were involved in accidents in the US alone.  And, according to the World Health Organization, about 3000 people die in crashes each day worldwide.

There's nothing more horrific than dying in a fatal car accidents.  Worst is, if you will be left alive to reminisce that nightmarish moment along with ugly and scary scars.  But let's face it.  Accidents are part of our lives and we should face its harsh consequences.

So, let's bring it on.  Here's my list of the worst motor accidents that would surely scare the sh*t out of you.

1.Monster Train Crushed Car

Honestly, I'm wondering how the bloody car got there in front of the monster train. What happened to the driver or passengers inside that vehicle? I'll just leave that to your imagination. The location of this accident is not determined by its source.

2.Head-on Collision

No one would survive in a fatal crash like that.  The whole front body of that VW CrossFox was brutally eaten by that enormous white truck.  This accident happened somewhere in Brasil.

3.Fatal Van Accident

The first thing that I noticed when I saw this photo, is the sturdiness of that tree trunk in the center.  This accident actually happened in Oswego Town, New York.  Four people died and 14 were injured.

4.Drunk, Drive, and Die

This Dodge Neon met her fatal end when her owner hit the pedal while he's drunk.  This one happened in Florida.  Pretty bad ending for a car like that.


5.Voracious Truck Swallowed a Toyota

This accident happened early in the morning in Estonia.  That voracious DAF truck loaded with sea containers (about 25 tons) swallowed that Toyota Camry, killing all five people inside it.  According to the source, the rescue team had a hard time getting the bodies out of the car.  It took them 2 hours to finish the job.  On the other hand, the driver of the truck walked off without any scratch on him. Need I explain why?

6.Fatal Bus Accident

This Opel Calibra met its fatal end in Belgrade, Serbia around seven in the morning.  The two passengers inside the car, died.  According to the source, Opel's speed was around 150km/h.  The source added that most cars in Serbia are old ones, but most people died not because of it. It's because most drivers don't really know how to drive. Or they just don’t care at all to know better.


7.Audi Meets the Tractor Man

From the photo above, you can tell that the old man who is driving the tractor is unaware of the accident caused by that piece of heavy equipment attached to his vehicle.  Good thing the Audi's driver managed to pull herself out of the car.  This accident happened in Sunne, Sweden on June 2007.

8.Another Fatal Bus Accident

This is a head-on collision accident between a Renault Espace and a Farnham Stagecoach bus.  According to the source, the former was travelling towards the latter at 50mph (speed limit  is only at around 30mph).  The bus, on the other hand, was only travelling at 20mph.  Surprisingly, the driver of the Renault Espace suffered only a broken leg and some bruises.

9.Racing a Flying Camaro

How would you race a Camaro that would fly?  Well, I’d sure love to hear this car’s story. This accident happened in Dallas, Texas when a couple of young boys tried to play a racing game.    According to the source, the two guys inside the car survived with just basic bruising.  A witness recounted that she will forever live with the sight of seeing the Camaro hit the pole.  She added that the accident serves as a lesson that racing, even at very low speeds, is quite dangerous.

10.Truck Crushed  645 BMW

Do you know that the driver of that 645 BMW is a 24 year old star for the Kaiserslautern Germany professional Soccer Team?  He was going about 125mph when he hit the rear end of a Bob-tailed Tractor trailer.  It's a miracle that he survived with only a bump on his right arm.  Lucky guy!

Whew!  How was that?  I hope you enjoyed reading this list.  Always remember to drive safely.  Have a happy trip!
