We managed to stop in time when a flatbed squealed to a stop in front of us because the car in front of *him* stopped dead in the middle of the highway because she was trying to make her exit (G*DD@MMIT).
Unfortunately the four cars behind us didn't manage the same, making us the first car in the second crash.
Big mess.
By some miracle no one was seriously injured, and after everything checked out we spent a fair amount of time squeezing our sweeties close.
The moral of this story is: Respect velocity always, and if you miss your turn CIRCLE BACK before you stop stone cold.
Posting by cameraphone from the shoulder of the highway.
A bit bruised, but wholly alive.
