I didn't see it happen, but I saw the aftermath. A small car was crushed between two large trucks in the left lane of the highway. When I drove by, the crushed car was completely unrecognizable as a car. Just a pile of compacted metal and plastic. You couldn't even tell what was the front or the back.
When I got to work, I checked the news to see what happened to the driver of the car.
No significant injuries, just some scratches. She laid down across the front seat and slid down under the dashboard and managed to find the one space that wasn't completely compacted.
Like one accident that was in the news here some time ago: A truck smashed into a stopped truck without any traces of it breaking (They assumed later that the driver had fallen asleep), and it took a moment for them to notice that there actually was a small car completely crushed between them.
