According to a UPI news item, the Metropolitan Insurance Company received some unusual explanations for accidents from its automobile policyholders. The following are just few:

• An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my car, and vanished.
• The other car collided with mine without warning me of its intention.
• I had been driving my car for 40 years when I fell asleep at the wheel and had the accident.
• As I reached an intersection, a hedge sprang up, obscuring my vision.
• I pulled away from the side of the road, glanced at my mother-in-law, and headed over the embankment.
• The pedestrian had no idea which direction to go, so I ran over him.
• The telephone pole was approaching fast. I attempted to swerve out of its path when it struck my front end.
• The guy was all over the road. I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him.
• The indirect cause of this accident was a little guy in a small car with a big mouth.
• Suddenly a tree was there, where no tree had been before!
