There is some debate about whether or not this extraordinary moment in history actually took place. The story goes that in 1895 there were only two men who owned cars in the entire state of Ohio. It’s been said that the two men collided and the event remained a hilarious one that was shared from generation to generation. While it could be possible that this happened, it’s unlikely the truth about this accident will ever be known. What has been recorded and verified is the first automobile accident, taking place in Ohio when a man ran over a tree root.
