There's a clip on youtube somewhere of a similar accident in the US... A semi slammed into the back of a car sitting behind another semi... All you see is the two trucks touching together and the car is wedged underneath them... The driver of the car pulled through ok... He was luckily to be the only one in the car and his seat broke on impact which made him lay flat as his car got compacted under the first semi.
After seing that I make sure to keep well clear of trucks... Also after watching Mythbusters and seeing what a piece of truck tyre can do when it blows out, I dont travel along side of them either... A truck tyre popping at 100 km/hr can break window glass and take your head clean off.
I hope the injured copper pulls through ok.
