The Collision Chronicles

These are the collisions you won’t read about in the news. We publish information sent to us by victims and their friends and family. Most, but not all of them, are confirmed with the police before posting.

And keep in mind that we feel “collisions” can be both physical and mental. So we will also include road rage, menacing and other incidents where physical contact did not occur.

If you or a friend have been hit, please get a lawyer and educate yourself about your rights.
