I was behind 3 other vehicles in my Ford Ranger, and my Best Man in my wedding (and his son) were directly behind me.
My Best Man started blowing his horn, I looked in the mirror, just in time to see a young woman plow into my Best Man's Chevy Impala,
who ran into me, and I hit the car in front of me. We were all stopped as the lead car (3 cars ahead) was turning into a parking lot.
It turned out the Woman in the car that did the damage was talking on the phone and plowed into the string of cars at 40 mph.
(Speed limit was 35). And we were stopped.
She had dropped her phone and was reaching for it when she plowed into us.
And one strap on the Impala did shear but the tank stayed in place.
So we survived a similar close call with the fuel tank.
I hope Miranda recovers 100 of her functionality after the accident.
