What follows are REAL excuses from drivers when asked to sum up their accident in the fewest words possible:

• The pedestrian had no idea which way to run, so I ran him over.
• I thought my window was down, but I found it was up when I put my head through it.
• The guy was all over the road, I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him.
• The other car collided with mine without giving warning of its intention.
• I collided with a stationary truck which was coming the other way.
• A truck backed through my windshield into my wife’s face.
• My car was legally parked as it backed into the other vehicle.
• I was sure the old fellow would never make it to the other side of the road when I struck him.
• A pedestrian hit me and went under my car.
• In an attempt to kill a fly, I drove into a telephone pole.
