What the HELL was a car doing stopped in the high speed lane at 1 AM?

Article says car was disabled, but same as you, why still in that lane? If the engine suddenly stops the car doesn't immediately stop, like wtf move the car over while you still have momentum.

It’s hard to imagine any scenario which could justify a disabled car coming to a full stop in the high speed lane of 95 North.

I had a transmission lock up on me on Diamond Hill (actually it was Pine Swamp, but I found out about that after waiting 2 hours for AAA to not show up….ahh, the era before ubiquitous GPS).

It was like my car turned into a mime that hit a wall. Fucking surreal.

I would've figured a tractor trailer hitting a stopped car would've been like a bowling ball hitting the pin, not that.

Yeah well that trailer behind the driver had quite a bit of momentum as well.
