The truck trailers here in the USA are the same way in the rear, but nothing on the sides (18 wheelers). The only problem is that, IMO, the second truck pushed the car under the first truck's trailer. As flat as the back of that car is, it had to have been hit in the rear by that truck. An impact like that would have easily pushed it through the bumper/bar of the front truck.

The truck on the Ferrari seems like a pretty simple story to me. Some idiot drove his truck right into and through a closed garage door, and ended up on the Ferrari. I think you can see panels from the garage door on the back of the Ferrari. Why and/or how some idiot drove a truck at a hgih rate of speed into a garage door? That is not something I can tell you.

"Had to be the bloodiest wreck I ever saw..."

He had to practice driving to get his license. His father was with him and probably had been the one to teach him. What he obviously didn't teach him was to not pass on the right, not to pass on a hill, to anticipate trouble just out of sigh, and to slow down and to be in control of the car.

I'll bet that I don't even have to say what I'm thinking, do I?

Pretty amazing stuff. I've been very lucky that in the 3/4 of million miles that I've driven over 40 years (mostly superhighways) I've only been past a few nasty accidents and never been in one. But I've seen my share of really bad drivers. For a while it was so bad that I installed a 'dash cam' in my car and recorded my trips figuring that if some idiot caused a pilup in front of me at least I could show the cops it wasn't my fault.

Some day I'm going to edit them out and post them on the web, and I won't obscur the license plate numbers.

Nope - "Darwin" - the two witnesses said the father probably didn't have time to yell at the kid - there was a T intersection there - the top of the T being where the kid/father truck were - the witness was waiting to make the left onto the stem of the T when the kid swerved around her to pass her on the shoulder. Kid was on the shoulder for maybe 5-10 car lengths before impact. The OTHER witness was the truck driver just climbing back into the truck after waling into the gas station to get a cup of coffee

Edit:
BTW they were going to life flight the kid out - we setup the LZ and all, but when the figured out the ETA of the Medivac, how long it would take to get him in the bird, and flown to the hospital, they realized they would actually get to the local trauma center (which did (does?) not have a landing spot) in the same amount of time or less, so he went by bus.

Took another 2-3 hours to jack up the back of the truck (the car it the rear axles hard enough to break them off the trailer) and get the father out If he had been alive, the team (my friend and the rest) said they would have just cut up the trailer - as it was, the jacked it up with airbags, cribbed it, and got a wrecker to slide what was left of the car out, and then cut the dad out. By that time, we were LONG gone - once the kid was in the bus, we hopped back in my friends car, our trip to the next town now canceled, and he went and cleaned up, and sat in the back yard and destressed for a while
