Given the differences between drivers and cars, the latter's not going to work.

I've been told that the drivers at an end of a group end up going faster, although it's never been fully explained nor understood by myself.
I've been at the front, middle and end of a pack and I just go the speed I want to.

Looks like there’s a roll bar. I wonder if it played a part in the reported head injuries.

Excellent observation.
I don't think it matters if one hits something head on or is rear ended, a roll bar in a street car is a head banger from what I've read.

I let the 911's rest this time of year... I don't trust the safety of a 40-50 year old car. The driver of this wreck is lucky that big truck didn't completely big foot it.

True about Black-Ice, and don't forget our cars are fairly short wheelbase and will spin when prompted to do so.
Wrong time of year for summer tires, seen it may times in this forum, I'm just trying to get the word out and not pointing fingers. Not everyone grew up in freeze/thaw conditions like I did.

I decide, since it's cold but sunny, to take the Targa back to work....................
......... The combination of cold tires, cold road and my correction got me sideways, then on my side, then two impacts with the dirt hill on the opposite shoulder and then back upright.

I think the below is a real possibility.

I'm also guessing the truck went further up the hood with it's front bumper all the way up to the windshield, then rolled back off the hood.
