I was involved in a very bad wreck just north of La Jolla, CA one sunny weekday, afternoon years ago. Not a car on the road (it seemed) except me and my honey. We were driving an SUV and out of nowhere a speeding car was right behind us, within seconds he was next to us as the his vehicle began slamming back and forth into our SUV.
Pushed to the left (we were in the fast lane), we rode the medium with our left tires (our right side of the vehicle tilted towards the road). Eventually our car spun (nearly rolling but didn't) around to face--7 lanes I believe--vehicles coming right at us. (So much for feeling all alone on the freeway in S.CA!) The other racing vehicle, that had hit us, was long gone.
All the cars avoided us as they swerved to the slow lanes (almost as if there was no problem that was in front of them). But many called the cops, who caught what was a drug dealing, person from south of the border both high and racing his vehicle with his buddy.
There is a lot of racing (as many of us have seen) on the freeways in southern California. More then there should be. Very sad. To this day I battle intense pain in my lower right sacral area from the accident. But manage it like one does anything chronic. But this particular incident you posted about it so very, very sad (given the injury, loss of life), and concerning.
