It's an arresting sound for sure, especially out the front of your house. It happened years ago out front of a place I lived in a real quiet side street. Basically a situation where one car has to pull over and let the other car through because there wasn't enough room and neither car did, so they had a really slow head-on collision. Myself and neighbours went out front to scratch our heads and ponder the 2 sheepish and embarrassed drivers!

I'm not positive on the story, but it seems that the driver was distracted and didn't see the van parked on the side of the road so rear ended it when he turned the corner right in front of it. Super happy nobody was injured
