Saw this in real-time on a highway crew-Fully loaded gravel truck slammed into the back of a flag-line and compacted two cars (passengers included) into the back of another semi parked at the front of the line.....cruise control, driver fell asleep

pretty nasty

It's amazing how little damage the truck seemed to take. I guess it had a decent "crumple zone" in the front.
In this case, the "crumple zone" would be the two passenger cars it pancaked.


Vehicles with "crumple zones" take disproportionately large amounts of damage in order to absorb energy, so that less is transferred to the passenger compartment.
