I was on 20 when this happened. Didn’t see the wreck but the rescue vehicles heading back. The drive was rough. I could barely see the lines on the road. This didn’t stop the a-holes from creeping up my behind though.
Thoughts are with the injured. Hoping for a quick recovery.
Tailgaters are either:
1) not skilled enough to calculate the safe distance for following
2) uptight aholes who don’t give a shit about anyone but themselves
3) 1 & 2
