I voted for "I hope no forumites were in the accident" because I am a compassionate young lady, and would like to be able to check on the status of my fellow forumites in a consistent location. I also would like to go to work the next day, and when my boss says "Did you hear about that accident on Rte 4 last night", I can say, "yup, my friend xxx was involved in that accident". And then she would think I have friends.
