Case: red-light jump causes crash, April 29th 2011.

Description: a flatbed van carrying a car was hit side-on by a car which ran a red light. The car following the van was also unable to stop in time.

Injuries: the two men in the van suffered whiplash but no major injuries. The driver of the car that hit them had a broken neck and had to be cut free from the wreckage.

Vehicles involved: 1995 Gavril H45, 1994 Gavril Grand Marshal, 1997 Ibishu Covet, 1989 Ibishu Pessima.

Location: Countryside in Poland.

Aftermath: the Pessima was unharmed, though it had not been in the best condition anyway. It belonged to a friend and colleague of the van driver- they were delivering a car to the scrapyard and the Pessima driver had offered to give that car's owner a ride in the meantime. The Pessima was able to drive away- and it was used to tow the condemned Grand Marshal the rest of the way, since the van was dead with a bent front axle. The driver of the Covet recovered after a few months, but did not return to driving until 2014.

Case: car causes collision and drives away (not hit-and-run though), February 28th 2002.

Description: traffic stopped to let a lit-up police car pass. One van driver took a pickup truck stopping just before his junction and indicating left as that driver letting him pull out, so he did. The police car narrowly missed the van, but was unsettled and could not regain control before hitting two oncoming cars. The van did not stop, but the pickup driver followed them for a while and reported them.

Injuries: the driver of the first car hit head-on had a broken wrist. The police officer was shaken, but unharmed.

Vehicles involved: 1994 Gavril Grand Marshal, 1998 Bruckell Prism, 1990 Gavril D10, 1989 Gavril Mione van.

Location: Gull Coast.

Aftermath: the van driver was tracked down by a witness and reported, but let off with a caution and a $300 fine. The Prism was a wreck, but the police car was repaired and back in service within a month.

Case: mechanic fail, June 2nd 2017.

Description: an amateur mechanic working on one of his many broken cars started it up for the first time in months- however, the car had been left in Drive, so when he revved it a bit the car surged forward out of its lockup and hit another of his cars.

Injuries: the mechanic hurt his hand in the impact, because the car did not have any seatbelts and he was also holding a camera and trying to film a vlog about the car at the time. There was no lasting damage, however.

Vehicles involved: 1969 Gavril Barstow 423, 2010 Hirochi Sunburst 2.0.

Location: Gull Coast.

Aftermath: the damage to both vehicles was minimal, but added to the long list of jobs both cars needed doing (the Sunburst was out of commission anyway with front-end crash damage half-repaired at that point; the Barstow needed some suspension and chassis work). He did not claim on his insurance, as neither car was insured yet. The footage was released online in a video titled All my glorious work undone! (the Hirochi is broken again, and why you should always pay attention when working) a week or so later, and the crash eventually found viral fame in internet fail compilations.

However, that was not a good thing. While some viewers laughed, and some cringed at the sight of the crumpled classic muscle car, the video made its way to local authorities who had already told off the mechanic about where his cars were parked- local residents had previously complained that the array of broken metal on his driveway detracted from the town's image, and although the offending Gavril Mione van had since been moved around the corner, the bare front of the Sunburst was evidently still on display. He received a letter in August 2017 stating that the Sunburst either had to have its front end rebuilt, or be parked the other way around with the rear plate put back on, or he could be fined. No progress had been made on the Sunburst since June as his focus had been on the Barstow, plus another car he had since acquired off a local resident for $300. The mechanic narrowly dodged the law, as when a local councillor came round to see what was up they witnessed the Sunburst's bonnet being put back on, and within a week of that the car was back on the road. The restoration of the Barstow was completed in mid-2018.

Case: reversing van causes collision between two cars, August 5th 2017.

Description: a van delivering car parts to an amateur mechanic did not have space to drive straight through the alley where the customer kept his project cars, so he had to reverse out instead. He did so with caution, knowing it was a risky manoeuvre, but a lady speeding down the road behind him in an SUV was slow to react as the rear of the van emerged- she swerved violently to her left, and hit a car which was waiting to pull out of the petrol station opposite.

Injuries: nothing major, apart from some bruising to the driver of the other car.

Vehicles involved: 2006 Gavril H45, 2004 Gavril Roamer XT, 1997 Bruckell Prism V6.

Location: Gull Coast.

Aftermath: both cars were able to drive away- while the Roamer was sent off to be repaired, the owner of the Prism knew that the cost of repairs would far exceed the car's value (even a tidy, high-spec Prism/Pessima like this one could be bought for less than $2000), so he went across to the mechanic's house (he was outside unpacking the Gavril Barstow radiator which had just been delivered) and offered him the car for $300.

Case: Jackknifed trailer, April 29, 2020.

Description: A 45 year old man was delivering furniture to his new home in the Horizon Estates area in Belasco City. He was driving his Tograc to his home, and he was going in a different way than the main entrance. He was traveling a little too quickly, and his trailer jackknifed and hit a D-Series waiting to turn out of the area. His car was flung forward and hit a wall, turning the wheel inside out. The D-Series just rolled back, and the cargo in the trailer of the Tograc flung down the road quite far.

Injuries: The cars each only had 1 occupant at the time. The Tograc driver had a broken wrist and a fractured spine from the force of the trailer. The D-Series driver, a 50 year old woman, was basically ok, but had whiplash.

Vehicles involved: 2020 Cherrier Tograc 150dq, 2000 Gavril D15 Extended Cab Fleet.

Aftermath: The Tograc was unrepairable due to the major wheel and engine damage, and the D-Series was just shy of being totaled, returning to the road 2 months later. The driver of the Tograc went through extensive care, and made it through. He had glass and metal in his arm, so it had to sadly be amputated. The woman in the D-Series was fine. The man in the Tograc never drove again.

Extra Notes: When I taked the picture, I saw there was no roll cage lol.

 

Case: Loss of control, date unknown 1965.

Description: Family Smith is on a trip around Europe in their 1963 Ibishu Miramar. They already visited Ireland, Holland, Belgium, France, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Monaco, Andorra, Luxembourg and today is Italy. They are listening to the radio. Father Smith didns't saw a broken vehicle and avoided it. But he loosed control and crashed into the right barrier. The driver of the broken vehicle immediatly helped family Smith.

Injuries: Father Smith has one broken leg.

Car(s): 1963 Ibishu Miramar.

Map Used: Italy.

Aftermath: The trip has to be stopped. The Miramar has a lot of damage and is left behind. A couple of days later, the vehicle is towed and headed to a repair shop, where it is sold. Father died in 1984, mother died in 1999, and the two children are still alive. The Miramar isn't driving anymore in 2020, he is now a decoration piece in the castle in Castello. The broken vehicle was involved in another accident in 1969, then it was totaled.

 

Case: loss of control crash, January 17th 2018.

Description: a broken old van, laid up for nearly two years in a mechanic's yard, had finally had its day. The decision was made to scrap it, as necessary parts were virtually unobtainable (and expensive when they were) and the longer it was left standing, the worse its condition would get. The mechanic owner borrowed a friend's flatbed to deliver it to the yard, and the two chatted on the ride there. However, the friend driving was not very careful- and the van was not strapped down for convenience at the other end. Way over the 50mph speed limit he approached another car from behind, and when that car braked for a corner he managed to unsettle the vehicle by braking hard and steering to avoid hitting the car- the flatbed mounted a rock face and fell back across the road, flinging the condemned van off its rear. They had landed ahead of the other car, and when reversing out of the ditch he had landed the van in, the driver accidentally reversed into that car.

Injuries: while both of the flatbed's occupants were bruised from being flung around the cabin, neither sustained any major injuries.

Vehicles involved: 2005 Gavril H45, 1989 Gavril Mione van, 2016 ETK 836t cabriolet.

Location: Gull Coast.

Aftermath: once all the flying Mione parts had been collected (with the help of passers-by), it was loaded back on the flatbed and the journey was completed. The friend was found at fault, and his insurance paid out $1500 to the ETK driver for a replacement bumper and headlight.

Here's what happened to the Satsuma:

Case: Speeding: date unknown 1969.

Description: 3 years after the accident (my last post), the old owner of the Satsuma sold the car to a teenager. That was his biggest mistake of the old owners life. The teenager loves speeding. He was that day in 1969 speeding too hard. He crashed with 120 KMH into an imported car.

Injuries: The teenager was in critical condition, the driver of the Gavril has minor injuries.

Car(s): 1955 Satsuma 1000 wagon, 1963 Gavril Bluebuck.

Map used: Italy.

Aftermath: Both cars are totaled. When the old owner heard of the accidend that killed his Sattie (he calded the car like this), he suffered a heart attack. The teenager was fined (conveted into mordern USD) $1000. The driver of the Bluebuck died in a accident later. The teenager still alives, he is feeling quite sorry for the old owner.

 

Case: parking fail, May 14th 2000.

Description: an elderly churchgoer found a free parking space quite near the entrance- in fact, the only one closer was taken by the Reverend's Bruckell Prism. While watching on her left side to make sure she left enough space not only to get out of the car, but also to avoid scraping the van parked there, she accidentally hit the corner of the Reverend's car. In a panic, she floored it backwards and hit the van anyway, before finally driving forward into the space properly.

Injuries: none.

Vehicles involved: 1998 Bruckell Prism, 1987 Bruckell Legran, 1989 Gavril Mione van.

Location: Gull Coast.

Aftermath: the van's owner did not really care about the large scrape now adorning its rear corner- in fact, this vehicle was involved in several more accidents, and caused even more, over the years before mechanical failure meant it was laid up in 2016, and scrapped in January 2018. The Reverend's Prism was repaired almost immediately, but still met an early demise in a head-on crash in 2002. The Legran was virtually untouched, and kept going for a few more years until its owner passed away in 2007 at the age of 98- after that, its fate is unknown though it was likely scrapped.

I feel quite sorry for the old driver of the Satsuma.

RIP Sattie.

 

Case: distracted driver, October 17th 1991.

Description: a truck driver fell asleep at the wheel, ploughing his truck into some rocks and rolling it over.

Injuries: the driver was concussed, and suffered a broken arm, but he survived.

Vehicles involved: 1982 Gavril T75.

Location: Utah.

Aftermath: the truck, the trailer, and the 17 tonnes of soda it was carrying were total losses. The driver was fired immediately, but the company did not cancel his health insurance until he was out of hospital- only because his boss liked him and wanted to make sure he was ok, though.

Case: Not paying attention, July 19 1998.

Description: A taxi driver called Gusttöf, was driving with an employee of ETK Driving Experience. Gusttöf is very kind and talk much. He didn't saw the car of Johan, a Dutch buisness man, driving his lease Pessima. Gusttöf crashes into Johan's car.

Injuries: None.

Car(s): 1991 ETK W, number plate BNG P 4923, 1997 Ibishu Pessima, number plate XJ-PL-90.

Map used: ETK Driving Experience.

Aftermath: None of the cars are totaled, but the damage is (converted into mordern USD) $500. Johan continued his journey and eventually getted home. Johan and Gusttöf are now best friends. BNG P 4923 was still a taxi till 2003, the car is scrapped in 2016 due to the new diesel rules in ETK Driving Experience. XJ-PL-90 was exported to Israel in 2014, it still drives under an unknown number plate.

Also, I saw the sign of the K-Series too late.
--- Post updated ---
Some lol due to my last post:
XJ-PL-90 is a Peugeot 106 from 1998 and it still drives.

BNG P 4923 isn't a real car.

 

Case: side impact, September 2nd 2020.

Description: a driver did not look clearly enough before pulling out onto a main road, and was sideswiped by a speeding car which piled it into a parked taxi.

Injuries: both occupants of the sideswiped car had to be cut out of the wreckage- the driver suffered a broken neck, and the passenger had limited mobility anyway. The driver that hit them was more annoyed than hurt.

Vehicles involved: 2002 ESCar Egos, 2015 ETK 854td, 2020 Cherrier Vivace.

Location: Fastello, Italy.

Aftermath: the Egos was a complete wreck even before being cut up. Its 84-year-old owner, who had bought it brand-new as a retirement car, was devastated to see it go for scrap with just 46,000km on the clock, but due to complications from surgery he passed away in early October 2020 anyway. The passenger, his 82-year-old, wheelchair-dependent wife, ended up living with their eldest son for a while and is still alive with minimal lasting damage from the accident.

The ETK driver was ruled not at fault, and once his car was repaired (at a cost of over 3000 euros) he was able to continue driving to work. The taxi did not immediately undergo repairs, but when a lapse in demand came a few weeks later the driver sent it back to the main dealer for a new bumper and a check over the electrics- the work took just two days and cost the Egos driver's insurance 400 euros.

An Abnormal Encounter, Part 1
May 4, 1989
Crash Description: It's 11:25 PM on May 4, and Officer Seth is called out to an emergency call from his car. He picks up the phone and hears there's an emergency across town, in the forest. Officer Seth speeds to the forest from the highway, arriving at the scene in 20 minutes with no traffic. But the emergency had just happened near a small gas station by the forest. An Ibishu CrossCovet had hit a rock while swerving out of the way of an unknown vehicle, causing it to roll. The driver is severely injured. Officer Seth decides to investigate, where he saw a sedan sitting in the dirt over by the road. Officer Seth carefully walks up to the vehicle, and discovers it is slightly damaged from the aftermath of the CrossCovet wreck, and the sedan is missing a headlight. He carefully walks around the sedan seeing what happened, and he saw a familiar badge on the front. He kneeled and looked at the badge, and memories came back to him, it was the same car that was almost destroyed when a dealership caught fire after a Barstow took flight and started a fire at a dealer, which had no one inside. The sedan, a Chevrolet Caprice Classic, had a broken headlight and it was still on. The Chevrolet had the headlights off, then peeled out and turned on the headlights. Officer Seth was in pursuit of the Chevrolet heading above freeway speeds. The driver off the Chevrolet panicked, and seeing a bright flash of light didn't help, causing him to swerve, hit a rock, and flip the large automobile until it landed on its wheels, and the large Chevrolet couldn't move, and Officer Seth came to a stop about a meter away from the severely damaged car. The driver was arrested for causing an accident with injuries. The bright flash, however, was a sign of something to come in the future as one civilian claims he has seen an alien.
Injuries: Both the CrossCovet and Chevrolet drivers have severe injuries
Damage: The Chevrolet is total loss, the CrossCovet still runs
Map Used: West Coast, USA
Cars Used: Ibishu CrossCovet (later removed), Ibishu Blackfoot BCPD, Chevrolet Caprice Classic
Aftermath: The Chevrolet was sold for scrap and the driver was arrested.
