Maybe. Have you ever been in that situation?
I watched an HHR roll multiple times right in front of me on I-74. I watched a body get launched 30-40 feet in the air out of the car. My instinct was to lock the brakes, but somehow I still drove over some of the debris and only stopped about 50 feet from the car once it stopped rolling. It happened so fast I had to sit there and think, "Did that just happen?" before I got out an started to look for the body that went flying.
I don't fault the truck driver. The view from the camera is NOT the whole view he was seeing. He had mirrors and ability to pan (look side to side). Who knows what else was going on.
