Commentary:
Should you ever find yourself in the situation, you may wonder what may have happened. Essentially, if a vehicle is stopped, and is struck from behind, either the following vehicle failed to either pay attention, failed to adjust their following distance, or was speeding. Either way, a rear end accident is somewhat straightforward, but that does not in any way translate to easy, and problem free.
