I am sorry to hear that, traffic collisions can often result in injury or even death, were you injured in your two car crashes?

Oh no that is terrible. There are a lot of factors that increase the risk of car accidents, like drug impairment due to alcohol, was someone impaired when it happened?

no just my mom was and still is a terrible driver :)

Oh I see, well driver skill and vehicle design, road design, and road environment are also important factors that contribute to the risk of a collision, so it makes sense.

back then when it happened we only had lap seat belts and no one wore them, so it was riskier

Wow that does sound risky, I'm glad cars are so much safer now, especially because accidents are so common, 54 million people sustained injuries from car accidents in 2013 alone!
