This accident happened during the summer of 1998. My car was
a 1988 Honda Prelude Si. My car was taken by an aquantence without
my authorization. They said it was a "practical joke".
He and 2 girls went joyriding on a mountain road, taking turns
at 70 miles per hour. According to the girl in the front seat,
they came up to a long straight away, and the driver floored
it and they got the car up to 100, and at the end of the straightaway
there was a 15 mile per hour turn. The driver of the car locked
up the brakes, and slid into a ditch, you can see it in the first
three pictures. The car came up the other side of the ditch,
and came back up the other side and hit a tree. I'm standing
directly in front of that tree in the first picture. Also in
the first set of pictures, you can see the drag marks from the
engine and transmission on the pavement, from when the tow trucks
had to winch it out of the ditch.
In the second group of pictures you can see the actual car. The
front seat was about 4 inches from the driver seat, and the floor
boards were all heaved up. The back drivers side wheel didn't
make contact with the ground, unless you sat on the trunk, because
the uni-body was so twisted.
The driver was not injured in the accident. 2 of the girls had
minor injurys, they were treated and released from the hospital
that night. The occupants of the vehicle claim that alcohol wasn't
a factor, but I found about 20 empty bud light cans in the car.
Needless to say I was very upset about my car, even before the
accident, so when I recived a phone call from the driver, I immediately
went to look at the car. Once I saw the extent of the damages,
I decided to call the police and let them handle it. I was never
fully compensated for the full value of the car, and I got stuck
with the 400 dollar towing bill, to add insult to injury.
