This crash reminds me of one I was a witness to on a six lane limited access highway. Two autos evidently had some sort of a fender bender and were stopped on the fast lane. Just at the point where I was nearly alongside and in the middle lane, but moving slowly due to uncertainty about what I was seeing,a third auto, also in the fast lane but not aware the first two were stopped, plows into them. I first heard the squeal of tires followed almost instantly but the sound of a crash. The force of the impact caused the car to bounce into my lane. I was able to maneuver around the auto that was now halfway into my lane. The lesson for me was to be hyper vigilant but in actuality there is no defense against distracted drivers. In our very rushed and busy society, where 24 hours are not nearly enough for us, there are plenty of distracted people.
