Yikes!

What a terrible crash (downtown). Runaway trailer versus mini van. Poor guy, how awful.

A couple of months ago in SoCal, a lady drove her SUV going freeway speed into the back of a truck that had stopped & was waiting for traffic in the right hand lane. Didn't even touch the brakes. I think she also had a child or two with her.

Same here in Columbus. A gal was texting. Drove her car into the back of a stopped semi going 70mph.

About 10 years ago I was coming around 285 in Atlanta at 75 and the river at night. In the center lane (thankfully I was in the far left lane) at night which for those that live here know that is a dark section of road and what did I see? The wheels and trailer assembly that the second part of a tandem semi trailer hooks on. Glad I did not hit it at 70mph!

I'm at the point now that if dumb azz humans want to text check email etc. while driving and they kill themselves while doing it then so be it - see ya later - we thin the herd.

What's not cool is when they take others with them who are not participating in stupid behaviour.
