Here's a traffic accident for you. My fire department responded to a 'person trapped under a van' in the university parking lot Friday night. When I got there (I'm a deputy chief, so I was first in for fire) I found a 350 lb individual trapped under a wheelchair driver customized van. Fortunately, he wasn't hurt badly, and was basicly trapped by the front axle and bumper holding him down. We blocked and lifted with air-bags, the paramedics got him out, and took him away. Still concious and scrapped up a bit. I told the guys at the hall the next day he was not badly hurt, but was... wait for it... feeling a bit run down.
