Has Anyone Ever Had An Accident On The Way To The Airport?

I've yet again been told 'you are more likely to have an accident on the way to the airport than you are to be in a plane accident.'

So, has anyone ever been involved in an accident on the way to an airport?

I've seen people say that they've been in a plane accident, but never anyone having been in an accident on the way to the airport.

EDIT: I just googled, and I did find evidence of many accidents and even deaths on the way to an airport. Including shuttle bus accidents. So, maybe it is true after all.

Though, it seems the claim that more people are kicked to death by donkeys than are killed in plane crashes is false. http://www.snopes.com/science/stats/donkey.asp
