Okay then:

First day of the spring semester, 2nd year into college. January 15th 2002 ~6pm, I'm in the north east (NW PA) so this is our biggest snow season except this year it was very spring like.

The roads had been very nice, a little damp that night but nothing worth noting. So i'm going up this hill on a right turn bend at about 45mph and suddenly I find my self on black ice.

The back end of my 99' Ranger starts sliding INTO the oncomming traffic lane and of course, somone has to happen to be comming down the hill. He wasnt able to stop either from the black ice, we collided in a extreemly hard impact that slams my head into the doors window givin me a nice big fuckin headache.

We both happened to end up completly off the road at least so comming traffic wont be a threat from either direction, turns out i completly took off his front driver corner. And my truck was hitright behind the rear wheel, ended up bending the frame of my truck, and just about took off the bed.

Noone was hurt from the ordeal besides my lil bang to the head, the guy took it very well at least. And while the police where taking our info, not even 20 feet from us another two vehicles collide, nowhere near as severe, but scared the shit out of us.

The accident was legally my fault, but the police and the guy understood that it was black ice and there was pretty much nothing we could do about it, so I wasnt even given points or a insurence raise.

They other two vehicles that almost hit us turns out the one guy had no liscence, and was on probation.. he was fucked.

My truck was about 500$ short of being classified of "Totaled", luckily my insurence was extreemly nice and I only paid the 300$ deductible for a $6,000 repair job.
