I was rear-ended, by a truck, in my 1959 Opel Rekord, way back in 1968, because I had to stop for someone making a left turn across traffic. I had been out spearing suckers the night before and had my spear in the trunk. The car went across traffic rolled over twice, ended up on its wheels, I wasn't hurt. When the police got there we went and looked in the car to get some of my stuff out before the tow truck came, and when we looked in the spear was stuck into the glove compartment, after having gone through the rear seat and the front passenger side, at an angle from the rear left to the front right. Luckily I didn't have a passenger, I had left a friend behind that day, because he was late.
