Chris Lorne of Aon Reed Stenhouse in Edmonton, Alberta was certainly fast to the scene of this accident — he was a passenger on the bus!
“This happened in Banff a couple of years ago,” he says. “We were on the bus on the way back down from Sunshine, it was snowing, and the driver was going too fast. Fortunately nobody was hurt, but the driver was pretty shook up!”

Scott writes, "Here is a picture from an accident involving a truck that was absolutely wiped out after another truck lost a load of logs while passing on a logging road. As you can see all that is left of the truck is the axles as well as the trailer. You don’t want to know the rest of the details but suffice is to say that the driver didn’t make it."

Sally writes, "July 2, 2008, our Johnston Meier Okanagan Falls office became an unexpected drive through location.
A vehicle came through the vacant shop next door to us and right through our wall. Thankfully nobody was sitting at the desk beside the wall."

Theresa writes, "Yes, accidents happen to the best of us....sometimes in the line of duty..
A little occurrence a few feet from my office window one Saturday Morning. To the best of my knowledge no one was injured.
I'm just glad I wasn't in that morning."

David writes, "this is a brand new Atlas Copco Roc D9 drill that we lost to the bottom of a Parry Sound quarry in June.$565,000. insured value, gone in a matter of seconds. Nobody hurt...the operator jumped free when the winch system failed, but THIS, is why we sell insurance."
