I'm trying to dig up a picture of Davis Phinney doing that in a European road race (maybe TDF but I doubt it). He was head down hammering to reconnect with the peloton after flatting and ran into the back of a team van. He went through the rear glass and cut up his face pretty bad.

Only I could run into the back of a parked car riding UPHILL on a bicycle. Yep thats me, I turned a corner for a 1/2 mile uphil climb, and as I turned the corner all I could think of was "I am in danger" and as I was preoccupied with that thought and looking down at my feet as I was climbing the hill...bang right into the back of a car...I wound up with my chin resting on the back of the guys car... the guy cam outa his house and a lady stopped...the guy said to the lady, "Yeah I just thought he was resting on the back of my car at first." Anyway I walked the rest of the way home as the front wheel was bent a little. I was lucky I only cut my mouth.... Shorthly after this happened my Mom was diagnosed with Cancer...
