Funny thing was that I slid off a taxiway into a ditch and I was in my car. I worked at a tower in Indiana and I was opening up in the morning. To get to the tower I had to literally go from the FBO parking lot through a gate onto the tarmac and go down a taxiway to get to a tower. Well that one morning it was dark and it had snowed a little more that night and wasn't plowed, so when I came down the taxiway I didn't see my turn off until I sort of gauged it right next to me and stupidly I turned sharply, but my car kept on going into a snowed filled ditch. It was funny watching aircraft taxi'ing that morning past my car sitting in a ditch in the middle of the airport off the side until someone could pull me out.
