Reply to comment by Diet_Coke in Woman dead, 7 people sent to hospital after chain-reaction crash on I-95 by deathbeforeupvote

That's true, but Im also taking a chance someone will hit me on the shoulder too. Even buckled up im sure someone rear ending me at 60+ is gonna fuck me up

In this case, the person who was killed was on the shoulder when they were struck by a car that was struck by a car and killed. If they were in their car I'd bet they'd still be alive. Yeah it would definitely fuck you up to get hit at 60 mph but your car has weight of its own, crumple zones, air bags, and a seat belt. If you get hit as just yourself, a bag of meat, it isn't going to work out as well.

The nbc article stays they “stood” in the roadway, so that is definitely the worst thing you could do and is not what I suggested doing either.
