G.M. probably stands for General Motors, a brand of vehicle, and Vincent is probably the other person in the car -- ie. "GM, Vincent, and I" were alone after the crash.
It sounds like the narrator is telling the story as catharsis. After they crashed, his friend was trapped under the weight of the vehicle, and he had to leave his friend to get help.
And even when he left to get help, all he could do is "wait for someone to save you."
They should be dead, but somehow they both survived. Now every time he drives that road ("unavoidable path"), he's forced to remember that night.
I'd never paid much attention to this song until now. Four months ago, three friends and I were in a car accident that should have killed us. As soon as I heard the first verse (chorus?), I was taken back to that night. This is an incredibly powerful song that stirs up memories of a terrifying experience, and I love it.

Too bad we were in a Ford, not GM.

Actually the letters G and M stand for Gravemaker. Matthew Vincent is the bassist for Neufeld's other band Sights and Sounds
