16 Car Crashes You Wish Were Easily Explained, But They're Not.

May 18, 2022

Mysteries have occupied the human mind since the beginning. It is the suspense factor that causes humans to pause and wonder. The uncertainty of a situation can be gripping to all the senses. These photos depict some of the most truly bizarre car crashes and may leave you scratching your head. You can try to explain the physics of it and what may have been going on with the driver, but in the end, you might simply be left saying "what the heck?".

Wrong Parking

A valiant effort and maybe if it were a motorcycle it could have fit. Did the driver believe they could squeeze park between the other two cars? If so, it was a valiant effort, but clearly did not work out as planned.

Wrecking Ball In The Trunk

Complex

A surprise in your trunk you never want to find. Unfortunately, the driver of the car could not avoid the incident, but what in the world was the construction worker thinking or doing to cause this to happen?

Lexus Goes For A Swim

Complex

An impulsive dive into the swimming pool cools off a Lexus. Did the driver of the Lexus catch a glimpse of the refreshing pool and decide they did not want to wait to take a swim on such a hot day?

Aiming High

Complex

This truck almost cleared the building and friendly guys get a little laugh. This driver of the truck appeared to have been aiming for the sky and he almost cleared the building, but he did not quite make it.

Target

Complex

Unfortunately, this batch of goods was not delivered on time. While it is hard to explain how this incident occurred, no doubt there were many disappointed Target employees and customers as the goods were not delivered on time.

The Stairs

Complex

Taking the stairs can be a faster route, but not in this instance. This vehicle appears to be very eager to get to the bottom of things. This is perhaps the one time that you should not take the stairs.

Clean Cut

Complex

Thank goodness this truck is not on its way to Splitsville. It is nice for a piece of fruit or bread to be sliced so cleanly, but not so much a vehicle. Unfortunately, this driver must dangle until help arrives.

Batman

Is this car involved in a covert operation or did it just experience a collision? Is this car determined to save the world from the bad guys? Except for the mangled front and the fact that it is during the day, it appears to be on a stakeout.

Yoga Pose

Complex

This car appears to intensely concentrate on keeping its pose. This car appears to be trying out a new yoga pose and making itself so straight as to be able to squeeze between two planes of glass.

Peek-A-Boo

Complex

Is the vehicle ripping out of the home or into it? This car tire looks like it's through the roof and is playing a frightening game of peek-a-boo for daredevils. Just very expensive in comparison to the childhood game.

Appearances

Proof that there can be danger in simply standing still. Appearances can be deceiving. Is it a loving embrace between these coupled off cars, an untoward advance made, or perhaps a sudden large gust of wind that caused it?

Precarious Balance

Proof that you have the power to create meaning for your life. Is this driver lucky or unlucky? While you do not want to be in a situation like this, if you are unlucky enough to experience it, consider yourself very fortunate indeed.

Diving In Head First

Complex

Maybe mechanical things have a surprisingly intimate relationship with nature. The sign on the box truck seems to say 'fish' and it sure appears to be enthusiastically jumping headlong into the lake to catch some.

Bait And Hook

Complex

First the fisher (above) and now the fish, these images illustrate the circle of life. On the subject of fishing, this van appears to have gobbled up the bait and is now dangling quite helplessly praying for a merciful release.

Tow Truck

Complex

Why it might be a good idea to paint your vehicle a subtle color. Seems ironic, the towing truck is now waiting for a tow and from out of a swimming pool no less. Hoping to be discreetly extracted from the situation, the fire engine red paint likely caused some undesired attention.

Sink Hole

What clues do you get from the bystanders as to what is happening? Is the truck emerging from the ground or being vertically submerged? An inspiring or terrifying sight, you decide. You may gather clues from the facial expressions of the bystanders.
