"I was cleaning out some photos, and thought this sub would find this interesting. Here's the abridged story:
Florida had been hit with hurricane after hurricane, and I was helping with a volunteer organization to provide relief efforts. It happened to be Christmas morning and I was meeting some of my crew at 5:00 AM to drive to South Florida.
On my way at 4:50 AM, miss bartender SUV driver, who had been serving herself all night, pulls out of her bar, drives a block, sees my car, and decides to hit me head on."
Let me add to the story...
First off, while I "walked away," it was clearly surprising to all involved that I survived. Somehow I didn't break any bones, but had my keys driven though my right knee, and my scalp needed 90 stitches.
This was the woman's 3rd DUI.... Yeah. She refused a breathalyzer and fled the hospital before a blood draw. When she was arrested at her home half a year later, she assaulted the cop.
After being interviewed by 3 or so attorneys who represented the state—each one seemingly fresh out of law school, and doing their stint before a real job—eventually a new attorney gave her a plea bargain.
The speed limit on the road was 40-ish, but I was likely doing well below that. Being on the road that early and then seeing another car, I actually slowed down, and was suspicious. She turned into me at the last second, like she intended to hit me.
Every body panel on the car was twisted—even the trunk had damage when I looked at it.
The insurance company's initial offer on the car was $4,200.

Edit:
See the (oh crap it was a truck) "SUV", another shot of the drivers compartment, and a before picture.
