The car was in mid-to-light traffic on a four-lane divided highway. The speed limit was around 50mph.

Under a bridge the driver started waving to a pedestrian, honking. Then he stopped to let his friend in.

Grinning, he drove off, talking excitedly to his friend.

Curiously, the cars that had collected behind him didn't move.

That's because six of them had ploughed into each other. Dented fenders, one crushed front bumper, a mangled rear door, pieces scattered on the ground. The owners got out, cell phones in hand, to survey the damage. Behind them, the late afternoon traffic backed up because the pileup went right into the intersection.

The guy didn't even notice.
