Jeremy
Garage Incident #1
The first of two incidents involving a garage occurred shortly after Jeremy received his driver's license. Upon returning from one of his Bitter Lake Grandmas basketball practices and as he was gradually easing the Mazda MPV into the garage, Jeremy inexplicably mixed up brake with accelerator pedal, causing him to jam on the ignition at the most inopportune time. This resulted in a collision with a refrigerator stationed in the garage as well as producing a massive crack along the garage wall. The crack would be later masked by movie posters and the refrigerator taken to the junkyard, and the incident would soon be forgotton within the Cho household until...
Garage Incident #2
The second garage incident took place just minutes before Jeremy, Owen, and Rama were about to head over to a party at Chandra's house. In preparation for the event, Jeremy had even put gel in his hair. As they were embarking, Jeremy, thinking that the garage door was closed, pressed the garage door opener. In actuality, the door was already open and the trio quickly found themselves backing into it, while sparks flew and metal grinded for dramatic effect. Upon realizing what had happened, Jeremy began shrieking so loudly that it prompted Jordan to rush over to investigate. When emotions finally cooled down, Owen and Rama continued onward to the party, while Jeremy washed the gel out of his hair and went straight to bed. Jeremys section is an accident-related stub.

Lukas
In late September of 2005, Lukas was driving with a car full of possesions to move into his new house on the SPU campus. While on I-5 which was rapidly becoming more congested in the late afternoon, he attempted to change lanes to the right to exit the freeway. As he was performing his routine head-check, a large box was obstructing his view, so it took him longer to make sure his way was clear. He looked back just in time to see the front of his Ford Explorer smash into the back of a red Nissan Sentra. Pulling off to the side of the road, It was found out that the aging man was from alaska, and this was a rental car for him. Soon the state patrol showed up and cleared things up, while writing a $153 citation for Lukas for causing the accident. There was minimal damage to the Explorer, and he continued on his way. The ticket was eventually taken to mitigation where a deferrment was granted.
