to pass me.

it.
My car was stolen and sent up a human cry, but it has not been recovered.
The truck backed through my windshield into my wife’s face.
A pedestrian hit me and went under my car.
The guy was all over the road. I had to swerve a number of times before I
hit him.
If the driver had stopped a few yards behind himself, the accident would not
have happened.

had an accident.
My car was legally parked as it backed into the other car.
An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my vehicle, and vanished.
I told police that I was not injured, but on removing my hat, I found I had
a skull fracture.
I was sure the old fellow would never make it across to the other side of the
roadway when I struck him.
The pedestrian had no idea which way to go, so I ran over him.
