Found this harrowing account of a way-too-f*cking-close encounter between a Mercedes 190E and an Albertson's Grocery Semitrailer (with pictures) in the FARK comments about a different car accident. It's funny because he made it out.
Update: Jim will like this one, if he hasn't already heard about it before. Apparently the "Llama Incident" is well known in motorbike circles.
That is the most amazing story and pictures. Surely am glad Grandma wasn't in the car.

This guy was obviously going way over 75mph and is either a rotten driver or a kid. He must have panicked and stepped on the gas instead of the brake. The amazing thing is, he didn't kill someone else!! He's full of sh*t and doesn't want to tell Gramdma he ruined her car because he was inept. It's pretty hard to make a Mercedes do that.
