1.    Coming home, I drove into the wrong house and collided with a
      tree I don't have.
2.    The other car collided with mine without giving warning of its
      intention.
3     I thought my window was down, but I found out it was up when
      I put my head through it.

9.    I attempted to kill a fly, and I drove into a telephone pole.

      universal joint gave way, causing me to have an accident.
