As the Fox News article seemed to be making facts up (what's new, eh?) such as calling the car a "3 Series", for example, when it's an X5, I decided to research some other news sites local to the accident in the UK, and they all report that there was also a 7-year-old girl invloved who received minor injuries. As it's unlikely she was in either of the two trucks, I'm assuming she was in the back of the X5. So it appears someone DID get out of the rear alive.

As for the crash, it looks like a classic example of someone using their mobile phone while driving and failing to see the traffic in front had come to a stop.

If anybody wants to see what the consequences of using a mobile phone while driving are, take a look at this...
