I was in two car accidents. The first one involved a school bus that backed into my mom's car! We were okay but it was embarrassing and the school bus driver should not have been backing up.
The second accident, my sister was driving and I was helping her to turn left and didn't see the car because they didn't have their headlights on, so we crashed. My sister sprained her wrist and everyone in both cars were okay.

Back in 1976, I had just moved to Calgary and was a helper on a furniture delivery truck. I started to notice that the driver would look at the waybill while driving. I told him time and time again to let me do that, but he refused to listen. One day as I was reading the delivery bill, I wondered if the driver was also reading it. I looked up and sure enough, he was.
I quickly looked in front of us in time to see us go through a stop sign and broadside a car that was driving across in front of us. The truck flipped over, spun around and slide about half a block down the road. When we stopped, I climbed out, anxious to see if the person in the other vehicle was okay.
As I got close to the car, I saw something on the ground in front of me. I looked down and to my horror, there lay a young woman who had been thrown out of her car and hit the curb head-first. It exploded like a pumpkin would and there was red-gray brain matter sprayed all over the sidewalk. This was the first dead person I'd ever seen.
After 2 weeks off the job, we went back to work. The driver continued to read the bill while driving. He didn't care that he had killed someone. I talked to the boss about it, and he was unwilling to do anything. So, I quit on the spot!
He should've lost his license and been charged with manslaughter, but as there had been a few minor accidents at that intersection, the blame was put on that and a 4-way flashing red light was installed. I was amazed that no one would listen to me. That guy killed that woman.
