Yea. I was in the fast lane on the free way. The car in front of me was going kind of slow. All of a sudden it started to lean left into the shoulder. i guess the driver started to fall asleep and panicked when they realized they were going off road so they jerked the wheel back right. Their car cut across all 3 lanes and slammed into the side of a big rig. She thankfully was able to walk away from it with only a few scratches...

I've been in 6 and I've seen like 20+but specifically 3 memorable ones in front of me.

Of the 6 2 were major, 3 mere medium, 1 was
Minor.

Of the 3 all were major but two didn't have many injuries and I can't tell you of the others.

Some minor ones at 4 way stop signs

There was a bad one I remember when I was a kid. I was with my mom and we saw an SUV rolling like crazy. It rolled all the way down a road that went to a boat ramp in the lake. Didn't make it to the water though. It was all really surreal and kinda played out in slow motion.

I stayed in the car while my mother went to help. It was a toddler and a young lady. The mom had head injuries and the son kept messing with his finger. They we're both ok

Yeah, from inside the car as it happened.

Can't recall ever seeing other cars get into accidents though, only passing by accidents that already happened.

From what I can recall right now, I've only witnessed three (excluding ones I've been involved in). One of them, the car pulled out of a gas station opening a little too far to make a right turn and got hit by a car coming that way towards the light. In another one, I was in the far right lane, and there was a truck in the far left lane. I have no idea why, but he/she suddenly whipped into a u-turn right in front of an oncoming truck going the other way and got T-boned, the other truck had no way to avoid it. Last one I saw was in my college parking lot. Some stupid girl was driving down one of the aisles, and again whipped the car into a u-turn to get into the next aisle and smashed into a car.

Not only that, I've been through some.

* Rear-ended twice.
* Missed running over a jackass biker speeding in a WalMart parking lot in his admittedly sweet ass crotch rocket where he lost control and skidded under me with his bike denting my fucking beautiful side doors on my truck. Dude was laying on the ground not moving with his eyes wide open inside his helmet. Fucker got up, yelled expletive and was way more concerned for his bike than himself.

To name a few.

I was on a packed highway once and there was a fender bender on the "shoulder lane", and I saw the cop car coming up from behind in the mirrors... and then I heard "reeeeee *kthunk*"... not even ten feet from that fender bender, some other dumbass rear ended someone else on the same side of the road.

People are dumb :|
