"Going to work at 7am this morning I drove out of my drive straight into a bus. The bus was 5 minutes early.."
"I was driving along when I saw two kangaroos copulating in the middle of the road causing me to ejaculate through the sun roof."
"The accident happened because I had one eye on the lorry in front, one eye on the pedestrian and the other on the car behind."
Q: Could either driver have done anything to avoid the accident? A: Travelled by bus?

"The guy was all over the road. I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him."

"My car got hit by a submarine." (The Navy informed the wife of a submariner that the craft was due in port. She drove to the base to meet her husband and parked at the end of the slip where the sub was to berth. An inexperienced ensign was conning the sub and it rammed the end of the slip, breaking a section away, causing her car to fall into the water. The Navy paid the compensation claim.)
Sibo, ttfn has agreed to move to Wiltshire and become my mistress and do everything I command of her, so as you can imagine she don't get a lot of free time now but she want's you to know it's the best decision she has ever made.
I actually laughed out loud at the 'sad faced old gentleman' one and the one where the 'pedestrian ran for the pavement, but I got him' (but I have had a crappy day).
Many decades ago Big Sis worked for GAFLAC - General Accident Fire & Life Assurance Company and they had their own in house magazine 'Generalities' which contained many such one-liners from their claims. Always a good read :)
I also remember the story of a trainee reporter whose first piece included a description of a man 'driving his car into a tree'. The editor told him his phrasing was poor and he should have reported that the man's car was
'in collision with a tree'.
On his second report, the trainee wrote that another man's car had been
'in collision with the sea'.
