Car Accident Pictures

Hi ! Discovered your site the other day and remembered that I had some pictures.
The accident with the Volkswagen happened in July or August 1968 in the quiet neighborhood of Huddinge which is suburb of Stockholm, Sweden.
The small car was hit in a crossing by a large truck which failed to yield. I was only a kid and when I heard about it I ran home and borrowed my dad’s camera. I had no relations to either driver and I don’t know for sure how badly injured the guy in the beetle was.
However I think I heard that he survived with a broken pelvis and possibly some other broken bones.
The Volvo accident happened on Feb 8, 2001 in Sunne, (western part of) Sweden. The man who drove the car is a relative of my wife and is in his mid 80’s. It was a cold day with a lot of ice and snow on the road. He couldn’t stop as he approached the train crossing and went straight through and was hit by the oncoming train. The car was pushed by the train about 200 feet. The car was hit by the bumpers of the train, one on each side of the driver’s door. The man was a little dizzy but walked away with a bump in the head as the only injury and had to stay in the hospital over night for observation.

Best Regards
