Crazy.

Almost as crazy as being in a HUMONGOUS 24' diesel Budget truck on a cross country trip on a lonely stretch of I-10 at dawn and having the ONLY other car on the road come up behind you and "WHAM" right into your car trailer hauling your 911 (guy fell asleep at the wheel and just kerslammoed right into the back of me).

He was driving a F350 dually and the front end of the truck was demolished. Tore the car trailer (big, heavy-duty, all-wheels-off-the-ground one, not one of those dinky two-wheels-on-the-ground dollys) right off the back and bent the crap out of all the rolled steel sections underneath the box of the truck. The guy was damn lucky to be alive. My 911 got a bit messed up but survived (some attachment points had to be rebuilt/replaced). The safety chains saved the car.

There are some ungodly stupid people out there. Be careful!
