We can only guess how some of them happened(the truth is often stranger than fiction)The following photographs document mostly the bizarre aftermath of car & truck accidents, when it's not as easy to guess what caused them. Sometimes even police can't figure out the truth.
Accidents waiting to happen:
Some trucks can handle overload, others - can't
The road seems to be too small: can accident photography be stylish?
London buses are too big for their own goodThis incident happened just recently; The route is a recognized diversion route and drivers know to drive straight through the middle. This one however chose to go in the left lane"
There is a deep sewer hole right under this nice car:
A bad day for the big shiny car on the right. For the car on the left, it's probably business as usual -
Convinient Acrobatic Parking Space
Digging out your car after a snowstorm in Yakutsk, Russia:
Battling the elements: flash floods, sink holes, trees felled by a strong wind:
A dubious honor of being squashed by the world's biggest motorbike:
Gallup, New Mexico. An unidentified member of the tow truck company called to remove a truck from the overpass sits dangerously under the truck as he attempts to get a strap under it.

Every one of them may be turned into a hair-raising story:
How do you end up being run over by a plane?
This was 2005 crash at Midway Airport in Chicago, where the airport is literally in the middle of a city, with no room (compared to O'Hare which has fields between the street and runways). In this case, the pilot decided to land during a snowstorm, hit a ton of snow on the runway and didn't have any time to stop before it was in the street.
