I've witnessed accidents on many interstates.
2 of them involved people falling asleep at the wheel. Both of them put me in danger.
Saw a car cut-off an 18 wheeler, caught his right rear on the left front of the truck and he Pitt maneuvered himself. He tumbled and ended up upside down in the median.
Another idiot decided to pass the slower moving cars in the un-plowed section of a 3 lane interstate. He ended up spinning out, crossing 3 lanes to the OTHER shoulder and starting a chain reaction, 20 car pileup. I watched it in the rear-view mirror 3 car lengths in front of him in the middle lane...
One of the stranger incidents was a tire&wheel falling off the top of a car. It bounced a couple of times, straightened out, then got rolling. It then crossed the median into on coming traffic.
Yeah, people are stupid...
