Well, I have a car accident story that happened to a family member but it is amazing enough to post here I think.

My wife's uncle and his buddy had been fighting fires in Glacier National Park late one summer...they were just out of high school....Might have been 1969..same year they had a really big fire up there. Anyway, they were on the East side of the park working and had to drive over Logan Pass (Going to the Sun Road) to get back to the Flathead. They were dog tired, fighting fires and all. My uncle was asleep and his buddy fell asleep and they went over the edge a short distance from the Logan Pass summit on the West side. If you've ever been over Going to the Sun you know what I am talking about. They should've been dead. One freaking tree sticking out of the side of the mountain and they hit it. Scratches only. I can barely look over the side of that road without wanting to lay down on the ground. That's a scary place.
