In my younger years I stumbled upon a number of accidents.... and a few with fatalities.
One, of two, that sticks in my mind was a small station wagon that had run into the back of a tractor trailer rig stopped at a traffic light.
No skid marks so the guy never even got on the brakes.
Anyway, the damage to the car was not that bad although the front end was F'ed up.
Upon investigation, the driver was slumped over the steering wheel and at first we couldn't determine if he was just sleeping as there didn't appear to be any injuries.
As it turns out there were groceries (and diapers) all over the back part of the wagon and few big cans in the back seat and a few in the front seat. It was later determined that one of the cans came forward with enough force to hit him in the back of the head and break his neck.
I couldn't help but think (at the time) this guy was sent to the store by his wife to get a few things and they were sitting at home waiting for him to come back.....
