On march 30th i got into a unfaithful accident, a driver cut me off and watched me flipped and rolled the car in his rear view mirror yet to stop and just speeds off. Me, wanting to save my car from getting scratched and damaged I swerve to miss him and unfortunately i went over and island hit a pole and flipped the car and rolled 3 times. The damage is as you guess unrepairable and has left me scared for life.

Updated: 11:55 a.m. ET Aug. 13, 2007KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia - An express bus overturned on Malaysia’s main highway, tearing the vehicle’s roof off, flinging seats into the air and leaving at least 20 people dead Monday.Nineteen people including the driver were killed at the site while one died in a nearby hospital in the northern town of Taiping, local fire department spokesman Amirudin Kamarudin told The Associated Press. He said nine people were hospitalized.“The impact of the accident ripped off the roof,” Raja Musa Raja Razak, the police chief of the area, told the AP by telephone from the site in Bukit Gantang, about 125 miles north of Kuala Lumpur.“The front portion (of the bus) is mangled. The rest of the body is intact. But the seats (must have been) flying here and there, and there was a lot of blood everywhere,” he said.“It is the worst traffic accident in the history of the nation,” said Transport Minister Chan Kong Choy who visited the scene.Chan’s aide quoted him as saying the pre-dawn accident appears to have been caused by “human negligence.” The aide declined to be named because he is not authorized to make public statements.Amirudin, the fire department spokesman, said there were no skid marks on the road, indicating the driver may have fallen asleep at the wheel.The accident occurred on the North-South Expressway, which runs 550 miles the entire length of the country from the Thai border in the north to Johor Bahru at the southern tip of the Malaysian peninsula.While Malaysia’s notoriously bad motorists are often involved in accidents, bus crashes are relatively rare.
