Sounds like the car my Dad t-boned a few years ago in rural Colorado. Seems the other guys decided to hang a U on the highway late at night without their lights on to go back and surprise a friend who was following them. It was my poor Dad who got the surprise and a smushed front end. Luckily he had good brakes but he still has dreams of the scared faces looking at him as he was bearing down on them. Amazingly, everyone got away with minor injuries including the girl perched on the gear shift who went into premature labor.
ACK! I got a visual!
