I've seen that happen twice on the M1 in front of me and both the car and front of the truck were destroyed. The front of trucks have more flimsy fibreglass mouldings than our 7's.

I think some one has taken some time with a video editor to get that.

My dad had two experences with something like that during his career of hauling cars. First was a car passing him on a 3 or 4 lane highway and clipped the car in front of him then slid sidways right in front of his bumper and was pushed down the highway in traffice untill he managed to bring the truck and 11 cars on it to a stop. That put a nice scratch in his bu mper of the truck - totaled the car though.
Second was he was rear ended and could not even feel it but the car somehow latched onto the rear of the trailer - I am not sure how long he dragged him along as it was not visible in the mirrors as its a blind spot that close to the rear. No charges laid against him in either incident.
