Miller/ Almost the exact same thing happened to me when i was 10. mom fell asleep at the wheel and we rolled 3 times, we were both covered in blood and mom had a major concussion, i just ended up with scars everywhere. We landed upside down though with the whole fuel dripping out scenario, when we got out and looked at the car the roof was completely flat and the window portals were just a few feet wide.
but the most fun was St Louis in winter. yunno what makes you pee? A constant blaring horn about half a mile back from a 18 wheeler jack-knifed skidding down the free way at 50 mph with its brakes locked wwhile knocking cars out of the way and making everyone panic in to a frenzy of clusterfuck, I think the driver was experienced though as he had gotten his truck pulled to the side pretty quickly considering. but because of the ordeal everyone was all oover the road in every direction, and it took us an hour to get traction again (using dirt from the side of the road) and kissing 10 cars along the way. everyone was bouncing off of other cars and some dude got smart and started pushing them to the side (ruining his front end) Insurance must suck up north :D
My friend tells me this story of returning home from a concert about 3 hours way from where he lived, so he's on the freeway at like 3 in the morning and no cellphone in the sticks. And he sees a car with its emergencies flashing in the middle of the road, sitting there like it broke down. he pulls up to the side to ask if they want some help and he realizes that everyone in the car (looked like people from the concert as well) were covered in blood and unconscious, apparently they had rear ended someone who fled and have been sitting there since for god knows how long. So my friend drives to a pay phone to call 911, the whole time wondering if he was just in a john carpenter movie.
