More than I can remember off hand.
One that I saw from my school bus around the age of seven was a Jeepster Commando that plowed into an early-1960's Chevrolet Suburban or Panel Truck based school bus and sent it flying around in a circle. I told the bus driver about it, and she turned around to see what was what, There were a lot of kids injured and both vehicles were a total loss. That Jeepster sat at a garage on NY 112 until around 1980!
In more recent times (early-1990's) I've also seen a guy from Massachusetts cut off a couple while making a turn onto the westbound Long Island Expressway service road as they were driving south on NY 112. The couple's convertible was totaled, the couple themselves were severely injured, and I later found the guy broke up with the girl. The Massachusetts guy said he broke his arm in the accident, and I wasn't sure he was telling the truth.
3loader posted one accident that made me think of something similar; Around the time Florida Department of Transportation was widening State Road 50 at US 41 in Brooksville, some old lady who had no idea that she could no longer enter the shopping center on the northwest corner from eastbound SR 50 tried to make a left turn over the then future divider and got stuck there.
There have been plenty of other, including those that I've been in, but I don't really feel like writing down the ones I can remember right now.
