Road Departure
The FHWA uses the euphamism, "road departure," to cover quite a range of terrifying events:
"Of the 42,643 people killed on our nation's highways in 2003, over 25,000 died when their vehicle left their lane and crashed. In some cases the vehicle crossed the centerline and was involved in a head-on crash or opposite direction sideswipe. In others, the vehicle encroached onto the shoulder and beyond to rollover or impact one or more natural or man-made objects, such as utility poles, bridge walls, embankments, guardrails, parked vehicles, or trees."
I saw a grusome road departure on I-91 on Friday night (9/23) at 10:45pm.

That should give you motivation for a "live for today" day. :)
