not a car crash but a bad breakdown story...
I'm driving from Pennsylvania to Washington DC for a job interview. I'm in Maryland and I get on the Balt-Wash parkway and find myself stuck in traffic for 40 miles. My car starts overheating. I finally get off onto New York ave and pull into a hotel parking lot to turn off my car and let it cool down. The car cools down and I get back on NY ave. About a min later I notice my car overheating and it's making loud clunking noises. At that point I knew I was in trouble but I was like two blocks from my interview and I figured if I could get my car to Union Station and park it, I could make the interview. I turn down Florida ave and then miss the turn for NE Capital ave and end up back on NY ave - now lost in DC with a very overhearted car. My car stalls in the middle of a busy intersection. I coax my poor car over to the side of NY ave (I'm in a really ghetto area at this point) and call AAA. Two hours later they show up and take me to an even more ghetto area to get my car repaired (West Virginia ave for those who know DC). Luckily it was just a broken radiator hose and they were able to fix it quickly but I still missed the job interview
