The worst I've seen is an accident at a gas station. In the front stall of the lane an elderly man finished pumping his gas. Jumps in his car and thinks it's in drive I guess. Gases it hard but it's in reverse. Hits the car behind him and it smashes the other driver pumping gas against those metal pipes full of concrete that keep you from banging the pumps. He was smashed then hit the ground. He died on the scene before help could arrive. The fire station was only 2 blocks up the street and they were there within 5 minutes. I made the first 911 call. His mother was also in the car while it was hit. Thankfully she was only bruised. It was really hard seeing her on side of the scene nothing she could do to help.
It got worse the next day. I found out the guy was the cousin of a friend of mine. Only married 2 years and just had his first child.
