I’m very sorry that happened to you.
Before I rode with earbuds I had a slight scare with a car approaching a curve where I was stopped at a stop sign. There was another car so close behind the approaching one that I didn’t see it until I almost pushed off into the cross road. I guess I had double checked traffic the opposite direction and was distracted. It wasn’t even a close call, just a surprise. But it impressed upon me the danger of cars hiding behind other cars. This has carried over in how I cross green lights. Especially when a huge van is stopped in the first or second lane. You can’t tell if a car hidden behind that van is stopping or not.
