    Description: a driver not paying attention rear-ended a car which suddenly stopped at a pedestrian crossing, after a pedestrian stepped out into the road expecting priority.

    Vehicles involved: 1998 Roth Alpha, 1990 Ibishu Covet.

    Case: police chase ends in loss of control crash, February 2nd 2017.

    Description: a van used as a getaway vehicle for a robbery was pursued across Firwood County by police. An overtake on an oncoming vehicle became a very close call, with the van swerving right at the last second preventing a potentially fatal head-on crash but sideswiping the vehicle it was passing. Going for an overtake on another car, the van driver's reaction to seeing an oncoming truck was a more sudden manoeuvre which resulted in the van fishtailing off the road.

    Injuries: there were no injuries in the one traffic car that was actually hit. The robbers' statuses were unknown as they had vanished from the scene by the time police found the van.

    Vehicles involved: 1997 Gavril H15, 2001 Gavril D25.

    Location: East Coast, USA.

    Aftermath: luckily, Firwood County encouraged its residents to install recording devices in their vehicles, so plenty of witnesses were able to offer footage. Only one very clearly showed what had happened to the van, though. The stolen goods were found in the back of the van, and though not all was salvageable most of it could be returned to its rightful owners once forensics were done with them. DNA on some of the items, from one robber not wearing gloves, meant they were able to be tracked to a neighbouring county and arrested a few weeks later.

    On 1 February 2021, 5:23am, a Ferrari Enzo was driving at about 85 miles per hour, when it ceased to see a ETK 800 in its path, struggling to brake the car hit the back of the ETK, causing it to spin almost 180 degrees. A semi truck that was driving by the accident called the police. luckily, nobody was injured, although insurance later wrote off the ETK, while the Ferrari will be sent to Italy to be rebuilt.

    Case: inattentive driver commits hit-and-run, July 5th 2006.

    Description: a fast-food worker leaving after his morning shift was hit head-on by a Karen in a 4x4 as she tried to enter the restaurant car park too fast while looking for something in her handbag. She then reversed, hitting a car behind her, and carried on driving.

    Injuries: none.

    Vehicles involved: 1999 Ibishu Hopper LXT-4, 1985 Bruckell Satyr, 2004 Gavril Roamer.

    Location: West Coast, USA.

    Aftermath: the SUV driver found the hit-and-run car double-parked, and blocked it in- he then waited for its owner to come back out and once she had gotten her children in the Hopper, he confronted her about the collisions. When she saw the damage to her front bumper, and was then shown the state of the totalled Satyr, she claimed the Satyr had been driving on the wrong side of the road. When shown the damage to the rear of her car, and that the spare wheel had come off and was lying at the scene of the crash, she claimed "someone must have tried to steal it. You know what they're like in these parts, stealing anything for drug money." She did not live in the city, she lived in the Horizon Estate (a suburb just outside of town), but the Roamer driver and his wife did, and they were extremely offended. It was the Hopper driver who called the police, though- she considered being politely asked for details to be harassment, though when police did arrive they simply asked her the same questions- this time she answered with less resistance, and the Satyr driver got a $1000 payout from his insurance, which he spent on another beater car.

    Case: street race ends badly, June 3rd 1976.

    Description: a pair of teenage muscle car drivers were arguing about whose car was best- both had Gavril Barstow 423s, but one was a Tracksport and the other was a Lancehead, and they decided to compare them with a race, early in the morning when the roads were quiet. However, a badly parked car jutted out into the road around a corner in their path, and the leading Tracksport hit it and was rear-ended by the Lancehead.

    Injuries: the driver of the Tracksport suffered concussion, a broken arm and mild neck pain. The driver of the Lancehead got away with only a broken wrist.

    Vehicles involved: 1970 Gavril Barstow Tracksport, 1971 Gavril Barstow Lancehead, 1954 Burnside Suit.

    Location: East Coast, USA.

    Aftermath: the owner of the Burnside turned out out be a very stubborn old man who refused to acknowledge that the car he'd owned for 22 years was severely damaged- he insisted that if he straightened out the boot lid, it would be fine, completely ignoring the state the car was in already and the fact that the front axle was on the verge of coming off and the suspension had taken serious damage. It took several hours for police to convince him that the car was not safe to drive, and he refused to replace it- he passed away in 1982, leaving the car on his driveway where it remained for many years- however, the house was later acquired by his grandson, who restomodded the car and had it back on the road in 2014. Both teens fully recovered, though the driver of the Tracksport was a more careful driver from then on- his car was a wreck, though the Lancehead could be repaired and was still around until 1995.

    Case: loss of control crash, May 3rd 2020.

    Description: a popular social media personality and car enthusiast set himself an ill-fated challenge- seeing if he could live with a drag car as a daily driver. He intended to make a video out of it, so every moment of him driving his heavily modified Gavril was caught on camera- though on the first stretch of highway he lost control at high speed and rolled the car.

    Injuries: the driver was seriously injured, though luckily his friend was following him in another car and was able to get him out while waiting for medical assistance. In the end it turned out he had cracked his skull in several places and broken his neck thanks to unsecured detritus flying around the interior and his lack of safety equipment.

    Vehicles involved: 2009 Gavril Vertex.

    Location: West Coast, USA.

    Aftermath: the Vertex was totalled with severe frame damage. Its driver spent several months in hospital and had numerous emergency surgeries, but complications from one resulted in his passing in late September. His friend released video captured by the driver's action camera in an online campaign for safer driving.

    Case: loss of control, September 2nd 2008.

    Description: a man decided to take his car for a fast drive down a dirt track- it was almost a rally car, so why shouldn't that work out? Well, it didn't- he took a corner too fast, caught understeer into the next one and ploughed the car over a rock, shearing the front wheel off.

    Injuries: none.

    Vehicles involved: 2007 Hirochi Sunburst Sport RS FWD.

    Location: Italy.

    Aftermath: the car required extensive repairs to the front suspension as the other side had also collapsed. The bill came to over 4000 euros, meaning the owner had to take out a loan to cover the cost (he didn't have a spare car and neither did anyone in his family who could lend him theirs).

    Case: Distracted driving narrowly causes a T-Bone crash. 5th May 1991

    Description: Roger Weilfried was driving his Bruckell Satyr to a local Supermarket to get grocceries. While a couple in a Rayton Sabrome was having a fight, mostly not paying attention to the road at all. The couple came to an intersection and ran a red just when Roger was crossing the intersection. They hit the small back panel of Roger's Satyr, spinning the Satyr around. The couple was shocked and stopped right in the middle of the intersection causing a traffic stop.

    Injuries: Roger had a minor whiplash and was shaken. The couple had nothing

    Cars involved: 1984-1988 Bruckell Satyr Automatic Champagne, Rayton Sabrome 3500 ES Automatic Carbon Gray.

    Location: Garfield Heights, City of Garfield

    Aftermath: The couple was fined $1000 for distracted driving and had to scrap their Sabrome until in 2000 the Sabrome was finally patched up and used again. Roger's Satyr was expensive but an easy fix. The couple sued Roger for running a red light, but another driver that saw the accident happen told the truth, if it wasn't for that driver Roger would've been in trouble.

    Case: rollover, May 24th 1998.

    Description: a pickup truck hit a large rock in the road and rolled over several times.

    Injuries: the driver was killed instantly.

    Vehicles involved: 1987 Gavril D15.

    Location: Burns County.

    Aftermath: the road was cleared of debris, but it quickly built up again- preventing such accidents could only be achieved by encouraging safe, attentive driving. The tiny local police force ran a course for all residents of the county to take at their leisure which would educate them on how to reduce such risks.

    Case: Sports car driver darts into highway and causes panic, May 22, 2014.

    Description: Two guys were testing out their new sports cars. They had bought the new Hirochi Obsidian from the local dealer two weeks prior. The first guy wanted to impress the other with his turbo power, even though it's a four cylinder. He pulls out into the highway and a van delivering wood cannot stop in time for the car, and he hits him. The other sports car driver panics and goes to check on him. He pulled out in the highway as well. A father and son were going fishing and they could not stop for the other driver, causing a second crash.

    Injuries: The red sports car driver had a fractured knee and the van driver had whiplash. Everyone else was okay. Those are the boy and his dad in the D-Series, The green sports car owner, and the van's passenger.

    Vehicles involved: 2014 Hirochi Obsidian Turbo, 2014 Hirochi Obsidian S, 1999 Gavril H25, 1986 Gavril D10 Kentarch

    Location: Roane County, TN.

    Aftermath: The red Obsidian was totaled, the green Obsidian had to get a new trunk, lights, fender, wing, and an alignment. The van was totaled because of the frame damage because of the wood jolting around, and the truck was able to be fixed as well.

    Case: Stolen Car gets crushed by semi truck, July 7, 2011

    Crash Description: Two robbers went to a farmhouse in East Coast, USA, looking for a valuable car to steal. The car, a Blackpool Superlight, was a kit car constructed in Early 2011 as a father and son project. Thieves saw the opportunity to take the valuable car, and took it. They went down the road from the farmhouse, and quickly raced down the road in the little roadster. The lack of assists caused the roadster to spin out in a ditch, ending the robber's journey. A T Series, which just got off of a dirt road to avoid traffic, was heading down the road when he passed out behind the wheel, causing the semi to drive into a ditch, and crush the roadster. 30 minutes later, an old Ford was heading down the road when he saw the accident, and called 911, which came later to arrest the criminal gang and save the truck driver. The farmer's son, an 18 year old, heard about the accident and took the keys to the farm truck to get his roadster back. He saw the roadster and started to cry.

    Injuries: The truck driver had severe injuries, and the robbers were killed on impact

    Cars Used: Gavril T Series, Blackpool Superlight, Ford Crown Victoria (not damaged)

    Map Used: East Coast, USA

    Aftermath: When the farmer's son saw his car get crushed, he refused to go to his high school for three weeks, and refused to drive a car. He got expelled from school, and he is now a YouTuber named Jamie's Car Reviews, a channel with over 50,000 subscribers. The channel showcases vlogs of building and reviewing cars.

    Case: Crash Test Gone Wrong
    WCUSA, August 2 2004

    Cars:
    Impostor (kid), crewmate and dummies (spectators), 1990 Wentward DT40L, Concrete wall

    Description:
    In Belasco City Race Track's parking lot there was a car exhibition (it has to be full of cars but my cpu could hate me, so please pretend that is full of old cars xD) and it also included a live crash test performance of a citybus vs wall at 64 km/h. A bounch of spectators whatched the scene. The bus was at the bottom of the parking lot and the test was ready to begin. Everything was going fine but anyone didn't know that a 8 year-old kid hid inside the bus to escape angry mom. He didn't know that the bus was going to crash and when it started he panicked, tried to run into the door but was too late: The bus crashed into the wall and its front crushed. The kid flew into the sheets and got critical injuries, so he started screaming. After the crash, a security officier heard the screams, appproached to the bus and found the injured kid. The advided the rest of the crew that called an ambulance. Meanwhile, the spectators found the kid and there was a lot of panic. The ambulane arrived 10 minutes later.

    Case: selfish motorist causes collision and does not stop, January 19th 2021.

    Description: due to parked cars on both sides, a residential street was narrowed to the point where it would be tight for two cars to pass at once. Two oncoming cars met, but one, a modern premium SUV, refused to slow down or move over- the oncoming MPV was forced to hit three parked cars.

    Injuries: none.

    Vehicles involved: 1999 Ibishu Kashira DX, 2018 Roamer Vertex V8, 2002 Gavril D25, 2013 Hirochi Sunburst, 2011 Hirochi Sunburst.

    Location: Garfield Heights.

    Aftermath: all three parked cars could be easily repaired- one did not even need any attention apart from a touch-up of paint. The Kashira was running, but totalled by insurance and scrapped. The other driver was tracked down by police and arrested, receiving points on his licence and a $500 fine.

    Case: speeding causes loss of control, August 2nd 1979.

    Description: two teenagers in a beater muscle car went for a drive on the freeway, but lost control of the car at over 100mph, swerving all over the road to try and avoid hitting a car and then try to avoid rolling over. The car hit a barrier, shedding some front bodywork into the lane, and spun back across the road, coming to rest against the opposite wall. Two more vehicles were caught out- a cement mixer hit the bits of bodywork left across the road and rolled over, and while trying to avoid hitting the remains another car spun out and hit the barrier.

    Injuries: both teens were seriously injured and required critical care in hospital- the driver spent weeks in a coma but did not make it. The driver of the cement mixer suffered a broken arm and head injuries.

    Vehicles involved: 1969 Gavril Vendetta 423, 1978 Gavril T75, 1971 Gavril Barstow.

    Location: West Coast, USA.

    Aftermath: the Vendetta was reclaimed by the owner's parents, who put it in storage where it remained until the lot was auctioned in 2014- the car ended up donating parts to another Vendetta that was undergoing restoration. The Barstow required only minor repairs, and continued in service with several more owners until 1994 when it was laid up in a field on the outskirts of Belasco County- it remains there to this day, having been stripped of some bodywork and interior parts. The cement mixer was repaired and ended up in the same field after another accident in 1990 caused it to be written off.
